Is Keinhorst a centre?

Jimmy is a Centre, though he has also played Wing for GB Students and 7 and 9 for Germany.

Fingers crossed you are right.

Cheeky Sod, you're not playing Widnes Viking's you know !!!

I cant, I imagine it was to get him used to the big stage etc.

I'd give Delaney, lunt and peacock a well deserved blow.

I'd also try and give singleton, Mcshane, ward and hood some game time.

I'm happy to trust the club to know when the likes of smith and Chisholm are ready to play first team rugby. Nantwich would have seen us rotate the whole squad every 2 years to blood juniors or at least change positions. In all honesty we do a decent job identifying talent and bringing it through. Not too many slip through the net these days

You would give Lunt a rest! Why? How many games has he played this season compaired to other superleague hookers?

Unless I'm mistaken he's played the heat part of 80 minutes for 3 weeks in a row, at a very high intensity.

We also have 2 young hookers who would benefit from some game time in a match where realistically we shouldn't be troubled.

I don't think it will happen, but it's what I would do

I would rest Kylie, JP and Delaney.
Ablett will be banned I reckon.
Move Sinfield back to 13 and play Ward at 6.
I would be tempted to rest Webb or should I say his mouth and play BJB at FB with Chisolm on the wing.
BJB
Hall
Smith
Hardaker
Chisolm
Ward
McGuire
Moore
Lunt
Bailey
JJB
Kirke
Sinfield
Subs
Griffin
Singleton
Hauraki
Kleinhorst/McShane

As much as some would like to see Sinfield back at LF I believe that is an option our coach is not prepared to consider......whether that is because he is [icompelled[/i not to I don't know ??!?

However that then neccessitates McGuire at SH and Burrow at hooker - when fit: the remainder of the squad then gets considered.

Be nice to freshen it up

Leigh will be up for it but we should have the quality

I think you may see Burrow and Lunt interchanging and as the games progresses Sinny reverts to 13 and Burrow to 7 and Mags to 6 as last year. This way Kevin gets a break from too much career shortening tackling early doors and is in the controlling position until we gain some momentum.

Do those calling for Leeds players to be rested on mass, remember Wigan V Widnes back in March? I seem to recall lots of talk on here about arrogance and Wigan getting what they deserved for not paying the opposition enough respect.

This is the Challenge Cup, one of the three trophies that Leeds or any other Super League team can win in a season (WCC aside) and one that we haven't won in over a decade.

I hope that those that pick the team for real, will pick the best team possible from available fit players and show Leigh the respect they deserve.

[size=50Rant over[/size

Spot on post Nantwichexile ! Are you an "Insider" from the club

i agree Captain Peacock needs a west



i know a west home that will take him in Blackpool .

Some of us Leythers where discussing this game yesterday on our way home from Sheffield when incidentally we rested 6 of our first team players.

Consensus was you will be outsung outshouted and beaten by 8 points. One of the lads thought you might get within a converted try.



We had watched your game against Hull FC you see. Seems our club now take more to away games than Leeds do' which is pretty sad considering your lads are supposed to be World Cup Champions.

I think there needs to be a nice mix. A few changes and resting of players but not wholesale changes and be careful not to take Leigh too lightly. They will be up for it and are a potential bannana skin but it is a chance to give a few fringe players a go and rest some of our ageing players or knackered ones.

No No NO play all your knackered ones please

As others have said, an opportunity to rest a couple of the pack, but not too many. We can't underestimate Leigh.
I'd go with:

1. Smith
2. BJB
3. Watkins (if fit, if not then Ablett if not suspended, if he is then Hall)
4. Hardaker
5. Hall (or Chisholm if Hall needed at centre)
6. McGuire
7. McShane
8. Griffin
9. Lunt
10. Bailey
11. Kirke
12. Clarkson
13. Ward

14. Hood
15. Moore
16. Singleton
17. Leuluai

Oh to have your selection choices. We've only got 17 fit players, which makes our selection much more straightforward!

Stick the Under 20s in en masse. Leeds aren't going to win the Challenge Cup this season - too many good sides will make it through to the semi-finals/final for that to happen.

Going out of it will give the tired looking old heads in the squad a couple of extra weeks off, which they currently look very much in need of.

Bloody hell Andy.

Maybe a trip to Beachy Head could cheer you up.

Au contraire, I'm far from depressed. Just offering an honest opinion on the likelihood of the current Leeds side being good enough to win the Challenge Cup.

I hope those that count have a little more self-belief.

Or we will just be playing for competition losers money.

Leeds should aim to put out the strongest squad possible. A healthy blow-out scoreline will be just as good as a rest if we can build up a commanding lead early on. This is far preferable to risking a team full of kids and players out of position.
