Looks like we will be without Achurch, Ablett, Aiton, Burrow, JJB & Yates for this match. Give a rest to Leuluai & McGuire.

Hardaker
Briscoe Watkins Moon Hall
Sinfield Sutcliffe

Bailey Kirke Mulhern Minchella

How bad is Achurch`s injury?
Does anyone know?

Ablett banned for 2 games

Right call, like I said before I don't think he went for Monaghan but you can't try to do that because of the potential of injuring the ball carrier.

With Ablett & Achurch out and Hardaker available I'd go with:

1. Jones-Bishop
2. Briscoe
3. Handley
4. Moon
5. Hall
6. Hardaker
7. Sutcliffe
8. Singleton
9. Ward, R
10. Kirke
11. Clarkson
12. Minchella
13. Ward, S

14. McGuire
15. Delaney
16. Bailey
17. Mulhern

Rest Watkins, Sinfield, Leuluai & Peacock. I'd have Hardaker or Moon as captain. See what Hardaker can do at stand off. Gives Sutcliffe most of the game at half back but got McGuire on the bench if a bit of experience is needed.

Oh can you imagine the sh*t storm on here if they gave Hardaker the captaincy this week of all weeks.

Picking Peacock for a CC game against a Championship side when he's knackered and we have to play the biggest pack in SL on a short turnaround.

Has a squad been named anywhere yet?

According to our Twitter, looks like you've gone with Hardaker, Jones Bishop, Watkins, Moon, Hall, Maguire, Leuluai, Peacock, Sinfield, Ward, Delaney, Bailey, kirke, clarkson, Briscoe, sutcliffe, singleton, walters, Ward.

Sigh.

On the injury front it looks like Yates is very close. Leeds Rhinos twitter has a picture of him wearing this years Hunslet top so I'm guessing he's started to head over there for match fitness.

McDermott did say a few weeks back that he'll need a few games at Hunslet first due to the long layoff.

I think we will get the better of you up front and on the terraces but will get torn apart out wide...... lets have it

You really think you have a better pack than us?

We've borrowed 3 DR from Souths, all called Burgess.

C U tomorrow - be gentle on the scoreboard

Keep thinking that way....
you know nothing of our team do you...

lol...lol...lol...lol

cant wait....you show no respect pal in your comment

The difference between Leigh and Keighley is just like Leeds and Widnes.

Anyone who watched that last night, with an under strength Widnes can see exactly why we should be giving more opportunities in this game.

The difference between Super League and below is huge.

Oh I hope we pull off as big a shock as in 71
Cocky lot
No team beats every other team in their league and is rubbish as you are implying
Show some respect

Grow up, and get that chip of your shoulder. I have not said anyone is rubbish. You are doing a good job in the championship. I said there was a massive difference between super league and below.

How many times have their being massive scores between bottom dweller teams in super league and championship teams? that is all you need to look at.

Most Leigh fans themselves have said they would be happy to be within 30 tonight.

Think this is a dangerous game for Leeds. We are in poor form, the performances in the last 2 games have been shocking.

I think we will win, but it will be a tight contest. Interesting to see how Brierley goes, I'm sure Gawy will be keeping tabs on him.

Yes you've beat themselves in super league with. 30 so I would be happy not to conced more then 30
Think we will come out flying and let's see what happens

I was at Wembley in 1971 when Leigh certainly surprised us ! can't remember many of the Leigh team from that day. I'm sure the Leythers will remind me . Obviously Murph,Jimmy Fiddler,who I watched at Bramley, Geoff Clarkson,Kev Ashcroft

There It goes again. What is dangerous about it FFS? We are not playing Wigan, Warrington, Castleford, that would be dangerous. Leeds got the draw they wanted, finally got luck in the draw. Had we got the others, but for Keighley, then you start to be cautious.

I am sure Leeds would love to play Leigh at home everyday of the week. If they are not disposing of any championship team, especially at home, by 35-40 points plus then they will have had a dissappointing day at the office.

David Eckersley, Stuart Ferguson, Stan Dorrington, Mick Collins, Joe Walsh, Tony Barrow, Alex Murphy, Derek Watts, Kevin Ashcroft, Jim Fiddler, Paul Grimes, Geoff Clarkson, Peter Smethurst, Les Chisnall, Roy Lester.

Hope tonight's team can pull off a bigger shock than these guys did. Unfortunately can't see it happening.

Just the attitude McDermott will be hoping the players avoid. Well done.

I ask again, what is dangerous about it?

It is no good keep telling us it is, unless you have something to back it up.

The evidence would suggest completely the opposite to your pessimistic view. Indeed just looking at the bookies, and Leigh have a 38 point start on the handicap. I bet there has never been a surprise result with an handicap that big. Goes along with what my post said, not above a 35-40 winning margin for Leeds is not a good night.
