I haven't had chance to see Leeds' team this year so was wondering what your likely line-up is going to be on Friday against us?

We're going to be something like:

Phelps
Roberts Gleeson Carmont Richards
S.Tomkins Leuluai
Fielden Riddell Coley
Hansen J.Tomkins
O'Loughlin

Hard to say really, nobody knows how bad some injuries are

It could be as bad as:

Webb
Coady,Delaney, Senior, Clarkson
McGuire, Burrow
Leuluai, Diskin, Bailey
JJB, Kirke
Pitts

Bench: Ali, McShane, Amor, Burgess

Bailey should be back - only had a virus so should of recovered.

Hopefully we will have Hall, Sinfield and Buderus back - But nobody knows how bad Buderus' and Halls injuries are. Peacock has to be a doubt but you never know he may feature. Ablett, Donald, Eastwood and Watkins definately will not feature.

Hally didn't look good on Saturday night so a friend says, hobbling about a bar.

Tell me it wasnt the staging post.

I can confirm it wasn't.

The lads movin' on up!


unless it was the old red lion

Webb
Hall
Delaney
Senior
Bush/Coady
McGuire
Burrow
Lealuai
Diskin
Bailey
JJB
Kirke
Sinfield

Ali
Buderus
Burgess
Pitts

Whats Sinfields injury? thought it was just a dead leg didnt think he would have been out for this long.

failed a late fitness test last week should be back this week! Missed 3 weeks, that's about right for a dead leg! we arnt talking punched in the leg by your kid brother dead leg are we, more like 2 Melbourne defenders exspose leg while 16 stone 3rd man in mashes it as hard as he can dead leg! not nice at all.

So you reckon the ones that are out will be back on friday then?

They all failed late fitness testes last week so you would think that means they will be back 7 days later! Unless bluey was bluffing?

I'd be happy with that mate much better than i thought,all i've seen mentioned is that Bailey should be back and that they are hopefull on Sinfield.

Bailey should definately be back.

Heard today that they were confident on Hall on Sinfield.

The more the merrier mate we could do with a boost.

Seniors out.

He got ninja tackled on his way out of Nandos this afternoon. No one saw the perpetrator.

Its all the rage at the moment.

So i hear.

Just a dead leg eh!!! - rumour has it he has slept for two weeks that is how painful it is

Chances of him playing this week - slim to none

Well he hadn't even started running by Monday so, yeh, unlikely we'll see him on friday



Gonna be a tough game.

Still winnable though.

have to agree, i,m more of the opinion a few missed out last week due to the wigan game this week would expect to see buderus, hall, bailey even sinfield. being in adversity weaker team wigan may believe its 2 points. i think it will be closer than some think.

If anyone actually believes Leeds rested some players for a tricky home game with Hull KR in order to try and give Wigan a good game the following week then they need a reality check.

I was more of the opinion not risking than resting

Amounts to more or less the same thing doesn't it.

I was more of the opinion that they were unfit to play and Leeds were struggling to cobble together a team.

if we had played wigan last week i think they may have played.

I don't think so,say for instance it was a play-off semi or a CC match they could have played "patched up" it's not unheard of.

There's a strange perception that a dead leg is always a minor injury yet it's deep bruising inside one of the biggest muscles in your body!

I once got kicked full on in the middle of my thigh playing football - classic dead leg - I could barely walk for weeks and after a couple of days I had freakish deep purple bruises on both my hip/ar[is[/ie and the outside of my knee. The bruse on my hip was the size of a dinner plate!
