Can see quite a few getting a rest next week

Hope Josh Walters can put in a good performance next week and force himself into the cup final line up at the expense of Ian Kirke.We need some hungary young blood on the bench.

Ablett, Delaney, JP or Kylie.... Kirke, and maybe McGuire. I personally thought Singleton was unlucky not to play today so I hope he gets a chance to prove himself in the next couple of weeks because it will be a travesty if Kirke gets to play. I'd also give Robbie Warda go instead of Aiton, I'm still not convinced.

Thought aiton was solid today. No brain farts either

He does get stuck in, you certainly can't fault his aggression. It's his distribution that frustrate me really, very inconsistent. Burrow's isn't the best either to be fair.

1. Zak Hardaker
2. Tom Briscoe
3. Ash Handley
4. Joel Moon
5. Ryan Hall
6. Liam Sutcliffe
7. Ben White
8. Brad Singleton
9. Paul Aiton (C)
10. Ryan Bailey
11. Mitch Achurch
12. Chris Clarkson
13. Stevie Ward

14. Robbie Ward
15. Rob Mulhern
16. Ian Kirke
17. Josh Walters

I've not been totally convinced by Aiton but must agree he was very good today, I would imagine todays team was McDermotts first choice and I would be surprised if the team for the final was any different

If Leeds have aspirations of finishing top at the end of the regular season, they can't be taking liberties like they tried to against Bradford.

Minimal changes, rack up the points difference and carry momentum into the final.

If you really cant see the quality that Aiton brings to the game then imo you need to start going to watch a simpler game................... snooker maybe.

I agree.lots of players have had a chance to get a rest of late and as you say we have been burned for it already.maybe rest peacock or kylie as we really need both on the pitch at wembley but overall I would like to see a decent side take the field and blow them away to carry the good feelings into the final.

Leuluai I think was playing through an early injury today. Peacock we need to wrap in cotton wool simply to avoid injury. Maybe Burrow too with Robbie Ward coming on to the bench. Bring in Walters and S.Ward for a couple of the back-rows. Go full strength in the backs to get some fluency going.

Why do you always have to be so arrogant, patronising and self righteous in your posts?

I actually think your right with the point of the post, but surely it can be put better

Got to rest Peacock. Today showed, just like I said earlier in week, him and Sinfield if can come off pitch played at top of game, it is more than likely Leeds have played well. Leeds need to ensure that happens again, he was rested last week and came back with that. You can't produce performances like that, as a prop, continuously. So a rest is what is best for Leeds IMO.

I do find that statement comicly ironic coming from you.





such as ?????

Who made you captain of opinions

With the game being on Sunday it doesn't really help.

I would rest anybody with slight niggles and probably rest Kylie and JP. The back row all put big shifts in today too, possibly would give Delaney a week off too.

Please I will have you know I am a Major General in that respect. A SLIGHTLY PISSED ONE i GRANT YOU...............

I'd go with:
1. Hardaker
2. Briscoe
3. Handley
4. Moon
5. Hall
6. Sinfield
7. Sutcliffe
8. Singleton
9. Aiton
10. Bailey
11. Ward, S
12. Walters
13. Clarkson

14. Ward, R
15. Mulhern
16. Achurch
17. Kirke

Rests a few but should be enough quality there to beat a poor London team.

it's a chance to build some points up in are quest for first spot. Would probably bring Handley in for Moon, Singleton in for Leuluai, Walters for Peacock, Mulhern for Kirke, R Ward for Aiton, Achurch if fit, if not Minchella/Clarkson

We also have a pretty big league game coming up the week before the final and I'd be surprised if we didn't put our strongest side out in that one, so give a few a rest against London IMO. I wouldn't rest anyone in the backs apart from Briscoe possibly because he's the only player in the backs whom hasn't had a rest, having said that crossing for a couple of tries against London added to a strong end to todays game maybe just the catalyst he needs to have a strong end to the season.

Final is 2 weeks today.we only play london before it.

Oops. I misread the fixture list! In that case rest a couple perhaps, but try and build some momentum to take into the final. In many ways it's a bad game to have before the final because there will be a bigger jump in intensity.

It will but I think even if we played a top 6 side the team would be fully focused on the week after and intensity levels down.this is the perfect game really.I would pick a strong team and get the points sown up and increase our points diff.(may become vital).rest kylie and/or JP who we cant do without at wembley imo.
