Mr Ganson is the man in the middle this week, which means we have had every ref this season fwir?

Could be a very in-expeirenced backline this week if Hall and Delaney are out, especially with the news about Watkins today.

Delaney should be fine to play this week, and Sinfield back would be a huge boost.

Just pray that Webb and Hall are fit otherwise you're right, our back line will look a tad inexperienced.

I am actually pleased that we have Ganson... can't believe I am saying it but I am genuinely pleased!

Didn't go to the match on Sunday. What happened with Delaney?

Will have enough to count us out!

You were also happy to see James Child at Belle Vue this season, that worked out well.

It's interesting to me that Leeds have seen each of the 7 so called 'full time referees' in the first seven games, I wonder if that's a coincidence or a policy replicated elsewhere in SL this season?

He seemed to be in some discomfort but i can honestly say it didn't look too bad to me although others say he was hobbling at the end but i didn't notice and stayed to clap the players off.
FWIW Hall looked a lot worse and even more so yesterday morning when he and Buderus looked as though they were auditioning for Treaure island.

Same here,i just hope the whistle blowers find their consistency this season.

If Hall, Delaney, Webb are all out for Fridays game highly doubt and we recalled Ben Jones Bishop id have:
FB: BJB RW: Coady RC: Jones-Buchanan LC: Senior LW: Bush

I'd like to see Ryan Bailey in the Centres if we havnt got any real ones, seem to recall him making some big runs out wide at Hull KR last year

Well, errr, yes... but I take that back now!



I think I am pleased to see him ref because I do think he makes decisions, too many often in games, but he does always seem to follow through on warnings, even if they can appear harsh. I can't help thinking how different the WCC game might have been (and I use the might) had he ref'ed it!

If it's come to bailey in the centres then amor must be infront of bailey as amor was actually a centre before he moved info the pack and played there for Wigan.

The best thing about Ganson is when a player points out he got a call wrong, it's always the touch judges fault and he's usually stood about fifty yards further away from the incident in question.



It's coincidence, isn't everything at the RFL.

Bradford - No Smith or Sliverwood
Castleford - No Ganson
Catalans - No Child
Crusaders - No Silverwood
Harlequins - No Child
Huddersfield - No Child
Hull - No Child or Silverwood
Hull KR - No Alibert
Salford - No Alibert or Smith
St Helens - No Child
Wakefield - No Ganson or Silverwood
Warrington - No Bentham
Wigan - No Ganson

I think Delaney will be available at the weekend. That at least will ease the injury woes a touch

If Bailey is still carrying what appeared to be a back problem mate Amor could well end up in his position at Prop anyway.

I wouldn't hesitate in giving Amor his SL debut this weekend

This kid could be this seasons bolter IMO given the chance

I agree

I am not sure tvoc we have reached any level of statistical significance as yet, but I think when we get to the half way point I think a similar table might make interesting reading!

tvoc - PS - I thought Child had a good game on Sky on Friday though, I don't like agree with the bald one, but I thought he was good!

I unusually did not go to Huddersfield on Sunday (you leave the country for 5 days to go skiing and your wife rearranges your whole diary and, given you have left her 'holding the baby', you have no choice but to comply!) but in watching Boot n all the Tries I did think that Silverwood's call on Diskin for flopping (because he didn't really) on Grix was a shocking call... this of course gave them field position to then score. It was the only ref call I did see in the highlights, but watched and thought it was poor judgement on Silverwood's part.

even now there are plenty of teams which have had 6 different refs in 7 games which appears pretty balanced to me.

The squad in full is:

1 Brent Webb
3 Brett Delaney
4 Keith Senior
5 Ryan Hall
6 Danny McGuire
7 Rob Burrow
8 Kylie Leuluai
9 Danny Buderus
10 Jamie Peacock
11 Jamie Jones Buchanan
12 Ali Lauitiiti
13 Kevin Sinfield
14 Matt Diskin
16 Ryan Bailey
17 Ian Kirke
19 Luke Burgess
20 Jay Pitts
22 Michael Coady
26 Tom Bush

19 Luke Burgess
22 Michael Coady

IMO

I'd have Burgess in for Kirke, and maybe Coady in for Delaney, but I don't know how bad his fitness is

I'd go along with that if playing Delaney is risking further injury.

I would play Coady in for Kallum and leave bush out. I know that Coady is a centre but he is bigger and stronger and is in the first team squad already. BJB is clearly staying at Quins... for at least another week.
