We need a big performance even though it should be a very winnable game no disrespect to wakey but we should be thumping them at home hopefully see some guys come back such as Mcguire, Singleton,Garbutt because we need to start picking up points if we want to even get near the top four hopefully our season might turn around

Agreed.

I'm sorry but picking players who are clearly not 100% (Delaney) or less good than other players fit and available (Keinhorst, Walters) is not the way to win games.

1. Hardaker
2. Briscoe
3. Watkins
4. Moon
5. Handley
6. Sutcliffe
7. McGuire
8. Galloway
9. Falloon
10. Cuthbertson
11. Ferres
12. Ablett
13. Jones-Buchanan

14. Burrow
15. Mullally
16. Singleton
17. Garbutt

Id go with exact same team as above

Ditto, that is pretty much the strongest team we can name, Judging by the fact that Hall and Delaney were late withdrawals last night they must have been good chance. I'd b tempted to leave Delaney for the bigger bench though and hope that fixes some of our ruck speed problems.

Guess we will find out if there are any deeper issues on Monday,there is absolutely no reason not to see Singleton and Garbutt in the 17 after that last night if all is well in the camp.

Come on Trinity! A repeat of Boxing Day would be good!

The result certainly makes Monday interesting, you would have before the season thought of the game as two points, but won't be easy how we are playing, we cannot really afford to lose to many more

Seems to me that there's no smoke without fire with this issue Biff

I wouldn't play McGuire, as desperate as we are. He hasn't even trained yet, so why risk possibly extending the injury? Let's go through another game to make sure. Regardless of injuries, or who you are playing, I would always look to rotate a third of the squad over the Easter weekend. I would rest Cuthbertson.

I agree and if the rumours are incorrect then Singleton and Galloway will surely play?

.Subject to full fitness of others I would rest Ferries and maybe Cuthbo too. However Garbutt and Singo will have to step up their tackling to replace them. Would be interesting to see Lilley partner Burrow if Mags is not ready yet. If Mags is fit then we should try him with Lilley as we need an alternative pivot as McGuire will obviously be closely marked.

Agree, I would like to see Garbutt, Singleton and Baldwinson all in the 17 on Monday. We have another game on Friday and need to rotate the squad round now more than ever.

Leeds desperately need to win these two games - he cannot afford to take any chances by resting players - I expect the same side as Thursday - Lilley to drop out if McGuire fit

Ferres could do with a break. According to sky the other night he's played every minute. That's a recipe for burnout

I think resting players is a great idea, at least 5 from your regular team would sound about right.

This coach is all about toughness - sod the quality!!

I think rotating the squad a little will give us the best chance of winning both games. Having the same players play 3 games in 8 days is a big ask.

I agree but I cannot see it happening tbh

I would be amazed if Delanney isn't back despite his injury

Hetherington seems quiet at the moment or have i missed something , maybe he is still counting cash at the arena

Garbut, Singleton and Achurch in the squad so off the naughty step. Hall, McGuire, Delaney and Abblett injured.
No doubt Lilley will warm the bench again and Ferres will do another 80 with Burrow being his usual ineffective self.
If we can't beat Wakefield at home even without McGuire we really are in trouble.

Worst WBSLR team and weakest squad by some distance who also happen to be disadvantaged by their short 3 day turnaround, and no doubt delighted to have earned 2 points over the Easter period. Leeds also get to play them at home. Couldn't have been arranged at a more beneficial and fortuitous time for Leeds.

Leeds therefore to win comfortably (OK, the scoreline might be something like 50-24) and all the knee-jerk artistes on this forum to steady their knees and feel all warm and fuzzy and fine and dandy about the team finally on course (which would have been the same feeling had Leeds scraped a 14-12 win at Cas a few days ago instead).

Leeds by 26.

IMMHO of course.

The quality and intensity will be dreadful though.

Another shocking first half. Massive improvement in second half or another loss.
