Well, providing no further injuries and no on back we'd probably stay relatively unchanged from Bradford so...

(just for reference, the bold names didn't play against you earlier in season)

Smith
Donald
Delaney
Senior
Hall
Sinfield
McGuire
Leuluai
Buderus
Bailey
Ablett
Kirke
JJB

Diskin
Beastwood
Burgess
Pitts/Ambler

But we'll see.

Think we may go with similar team to last week also, with O'Carrol drafted onto the bench. Should be a cracker and could go either way:

Pat Richards
Darrell Goulding
Martin Gleeson
George Carmont
Karl Pryce
Sam Tomkins
Thomas Leuluai
Stuart Fielden
Mark Riddell
Andy Coley
Phil Bailey
Joel Tomkins
Sean O'Loughlin

Mike McIlorum
Iafeta Paleaaesina
Liam Farrell
Eamon O’Carroll

Ali Lauitiiti could be back this week if this is anything to go by as he isnt mentioned in the injuries or doubts. www.skysports.com/story/0,19528, ... 27,00.html

He's finished more grand finals than your entire squad.

If our defence performs up to our usual standards, then I think we may just edge this one. We have the speed and guile in attack to trouble Wigan from anywhere on the pitch, and I reckon it's going to be very close.

Sinny will need to have his kicking boots on though, but hopefully we'll just have our noses in front at full time by 4 points or so.

Not true, however I see you don't disagree with my statement.

If only you'd have added 'while at Wigan' you'd have been on to a monster.

Ali Lauitiiti - 5

Wigan's current squad:

Paul Deacon - 6
Stuart Fielden - 6
Martin Gleeson - 1
Sean O'Loughlin - 1

True but him being a Wigan fan that's how I meant it.

He's usually wrapped games up well before the end so takes a breather. Like his stint in the 2007 grand Final. Did you watch that......as a neutral obviously?

How can Peacock be fit?, thought he was out for another 4 weeks?

I dunno wt to think about JP been back - Mind games? He was meant to be out for 4-6 weeks - would be a miracle if fit imo.

Id go:

Smith
Donald
Delaney
Senior
Hall
McGuire
Sinfield
Kylie
Buderus
JP
Ablett
Kirke
JJB

Diskin
Ali
Bailey
Eastwood

Very strong 17. Even if one of : JP, Ali, JJB, Kirke (the possible doubts) don't make it im confident Pitts will step in and do a good job like he did against Dulls.

What a bizarre comment to make.

Fortunately your opinion means diddly squat unless you're on the Leeds medical staff.

What a silly comment to make.

Fortunately everyone's opinion on this forum means diddly squat as none of us are in the Leeds coaching staff - Does that mean I and everyone else should no longer express their opinion?




From the Guardian [iThe Rhinos issued a statement confirming that the 32-year-old will not need surgery because the ligaments were strained rather than ruptured, but their head of physiotherapy, Meirion Jones, said he would be out for four to six weeks.

Even on the most optimistic recovery schedule, that would deny Peacock the chance to prove his fitness to McNamara before he names his team to face France on 1 June.[/i

By that I stand by my comment

Your worthless opinion that it would need 'a miracle' for Peacock to be fit (after he has been named in the squad for Saturday) is the bizarre part.

It wouldn't need a miracle so much as a quicker than originally anticipated recovery.

That tends to happen much more frequently than miracles do.

Donald two weeks ago was said by the same medical staff at Leeds to be four weeks away from a return, he played last Sunday - Another miracle?

Eastwood also returned earlier than anticipated - Another miracle?

What if someone isnt on the Leeds coaching staff but knows someone on it very well?

What did they say?

Let's hope it's not the same someone who advised Tony Smith about Keith Senior's medical condition just prior to the CC Final down at Cardiff a few seasons back.......

What if my mates uncles step son knew a lad that once knew somebody that knew the uncle of Bluey?



Was it two weeks ago? The media source posted an article that was out of date, it was pointed out by a couple of posters.



Long term injury - harder to asses the date of return.


When a player is recovery is estimated 4-6 out but two weeks later he is playing rugby again its rather a miraculous recovery or bad judgement from the medic.

Anyway everyone knows just because JP is in the squad it means FA! Sinfield could hardly walk and he was named in the squad for 3 weeks running and didn't appear.

Was that the time when Kear backed out of his deal to play right centre for Hull?
