Maybe a bit over confident, although our record against you recently is terrible, that's makes me think we are due a win, think a lot depends on the squads today and who we both have out.

Don't think either team has been amazing this year, but two results apart (Cas for you and Salford for us) have been pretty solid.

Except if we run out of refs we'll all be out of the kitchen

Jimmy Keinhorst will have an operation on a hand ligament injury and is expected to be out for 10 to 12 weeks whilst Carl Ablett has a knee injury that may require surgery and will sideline him for at least eight weeks. The Rhinos will give a fitness test to Ashton Golding after the shoulder injury he suffered at Warrington.

I notice that Lilley is back with Leeds. He’s done well for us. I hope he kicks on for you lot. I’ve been impressed with his kicking game and his defence. He’s got more confident as time has gone on for us.

Good to see Oledzki in the squad too. Hopefully this means he won’t be turning out for Fev against us on Monday too.

Bloody hell, kept those injuries quite. Back to a distinct lack at half back again. Only turned it around with the change of Moon to the halfs. Him back to centre again, likely to see us with early rounds problems again.

Rhinos 19 announced


Some doubts surrounding the fitness of Golding, He certainly looked to be in agony last week, also has Sutty passed his Concussion test?
I think Oledzki will miss out and also Lilley If Golding and Sutty are both declared fit

I have a feeling both Galloway and Golding will miss out this one.
Pity both Ablett and Keinhorst are out as both were playing well.
As long as Ward stays fit that should compensate for Ablett.
Lilley to SH with Burrow on the bench Friday.

Burrow will start, Lilley on the bench.

I personally would sit Golding out for this week and have him back in on Monday. I would also give Ward the nod this week and have Galloway back in on Monday, two games in four days for Galloway would be too much after so long out.

Sutcliffe. Briscoe Watkins Moon Hall. McGuire Lilley. Garbutt Parcell Baldwinson. JJB Delaney. Cuthbertson.

Burrow Ward Oledzki Mullally.

Still confused on this as I had him down for one more game at Bradford before he could return to Leeds.

Don't see Sutcliffe playing tbh. I'd be very surprised if he wasn't concussed last week.

He wouldn't be allowed to be named in the 19 man squad if he would have failed the concussion test.

Don't they have a second test nearer the game?

Think they will do the concussion test as late as possible to give him the best chance of passing.

I also thought if he failed a concussion test in a game, he automatically has a week off (looks like I'm wrong on that one though?)

Our squad is pretty strong with Taylor, Ellis and Kelly back.

Only two players missing in Houghton and Green.

48 hours before I believe so would have been done before naming 19? Either that or he's done a Joel Moon and told him to man up and play.

6 days I think is the earliest return time

Pretty much what I have said.
No point risking them at this stage.
If a player is concussed I understood it was 6 days before their next game as Smokey has said.

So moon back to centre?

A Return To Play test is undertaken only after 120 hors (5 days) has elapsed since the injury. So it can't have been done when the 19 was named by my reckoning.

So has possibly just had one about ten minutes ago then? Hopefully he passed.
