Sinfield picks up 'hand injury'

Burrow will be fresh at least.

Kev did well at 9 first half.

Out for the rest of the [size=1exiles[/size season!

Burrow will be fresh at least.

Sinfield with a dodgy thumb. Surely not another one?

Hardaker
Minns
Moon
Keinhorst
Hall
Sutcliffe
Burrow
Peacock
Mcshane
Kirke
Achurch
Clarkson
Jjb


Moore
Singleton
Kylie or one of the 19s baldwinson perhaps.
Bjb


Something like that are they all fit??

Christ, we are down to roots here aren't we?!


Still, looks as though we could still beat Bradford with that team...

Is Keef fit yet???

I wouldn't have a winger on the bench, I'd either play BJB from the start or not at all.
I also think Sinfield will play.

I'd go with:

1. Hardaker
2. Jones-Bishop
3. Keinhorst
4. Moon
5. Hall
6. Sinfield (or Sutcliffe if Sinfield is injured)
7. Burrow
8. Leuluai
9. McShane
10. Peacock
11. Achurch
12. Jones-Buchanan
13. Clarkson

14. Sutcliffe (Baldwinson if Sinfield is injured)
15. Moore
16. Singleton
17. Kirke

I just think minns deserves to keep his spot and bjb could do with easing back in, minns is mainly a centre back row as far as I am aware so could spell in the pack.

It's not looking good for sinfield according interview on radio.

Minns doesn't really deserve to lose his place but it looks like Bjb will definately play so i'd put Baldwinson on the bench who imo would be better in the BR than Minns.

Very unlikely I would suggest given the nature of the job these guys do - they are not office workers like us. If you need an op caused by the job you do logically is very likely that continuing to do that same job is going to aggravate the problem. Also the player will not be playing at his optimum physically, is that what you want in your toughest set of fixtures?

We still go back to the point I raised in response to your devil's advocate point - the strength of the squad is what counts, you need to be able to interchange players with minimal disruption. To do that all squad members need to feel confident they can contribute when selected - how can this be achieved if the depth of the squad is rarely called upon? The coach would rather play tried and tested squad members capable of 70-80% physical capability than a young emerging player capable of 100%.

Or you for that matter

At the moment Leeds are missing,

Watkins
McGuire
Leuluai
Ablett
Sinfield
Ward
Delaney
Bailey

And have the possibility of,

Moon
Hall
Hardaker
JJB

All backing up.

The team may look something like this:

Hardaker
Jones-Bishop
Keinhorst
Moon
Hall
Sutcliffe
Burrow
Kirke
McShane
Peacock
Clarkson
Achurch
Jones-Buchanan

Singleton
Moore
Baldwinson
Minns (literally because there is no one else!)

It should be an interesting game anyway.

JJB is going to be knackered. He seemed to be involved in every tackle last night.

Hardaker

Speaking of Hardaker, to accommodate Minns, can anyone see him playing 6 with Sutcliffe at 13? He pretty much played as half for most of the 2nd half last week. It means we could have 4 forwards on the bench too.

According to Wikipedia, Brett Delaney was a goal kicker for Gold Coast & Parramatta at some point. Maybe an option if he's kept on practicing.
