15. Brett Delaney
17. Ian Kirke
18. Chris Clarkson
20. Darrell Griffin
21. Richard Moore
22. Jay Pitts
24. Liam Hood

i would drop kirke and pitts

From that 19, which ever 17 get on the park this Friday, should be too good for our hillbillie inbreed neighbours from Cas Vegas.

I want Hood to get a first team game but not sure if we should have Burrow, Mcshane & Hood in the 17

Ordinarily I would have seen no problem with it, but as Sinfield seems to be defending wide as a half back I think we are probably too light defensively with those three, plus McGuire and Sinfield.

Grow up FFS.

From that 19 i reckon we'll go with..
Webb
Bjb
Watkins
Hardaker
Hall
Mcguire
Burrow
JP
Mcshane
Leuleui
Delaney
Ablett
Sinfield

Hood
Griffin
Clarkson
Moore.

I would like to see Clarkson start with Delaney coming off the bench but i think Brian Mc will go with how i've listed.

I would agree with all you have stated team wise ...it will be exciting to see Burrow , McShane and Hood all alternating from dummy half....but do you really see McDermot sticking Sinfield at LF ??

Personally I think Kirke wil get in at Hood's expense. I also forecast Pitts will miss out.

Personally I think it will be Kirke who misses out with Peacock returning. I think the belief is there that Kirke can fill a gap while Peacock is off, the amount of time Peacock is actually off the field is increasing, and I don't think he is necessarily up to the job, hence why Griffin was signed.

Pitts should keep his place, and Clarkson will probably be in as a straight swap for Hauraki.

Hood being on the fringes is good to see, though I think unless there is an injury to another pivot I doubt we'll see him. IMO 6 pivots in a 17 man squad is too many.

Is Bailey injured or rested again?

From last week I think JP, Clarkson and Hood will come in for Kirke, Hauraki and McShane!

I have a feeling Kirke will retain her place.

No place for Hood but a day out with the 1st team for the experience.

could be a tough game for hood if things are tight we can hope he may be on the bench in hope we have another blow out is there a u20 game before hand??

Id love to see Hood get a game. He looked awesome in preseason and impressed in the 20's last week. Maybe give McShane a week off to see how he goes? It wouldn't affect us any more than having McShane play for 10 minutes like he did against Hull KR. Id also play Pitts too.

Kirke and McShane would miss out for me.

Ian kirke, kirke, kirke....

You're banned from going any where near them this week

Kirke played well last deserves to keep his place

dont expect a close game. same as last year at our place id say. McGuire to have a stormer against us again and your pack to be on top from the first tackle.

That wasn't you was it??

Whenever we are expected to walk over a team, we usually don't. I expect us to win but it won't be a walkover, I think you will give a much improved showing against us than you did with Wigan, but we could run away with it in the last 15 which may exaggerate the scoreline.

Think it might be a close game, hopefully as sibbs says we will run away in last 15 but it could be close

BTW did you hear a voice in the distance calling your name as the players ran out? I saw you look in every direction apart from the one I was in

The irony of you not being able to spell hillbilly and inbred would probably be lost on you so I won't bother.

Leeds by 20.
Our front row is lacking in size and power and the powers that be have decided to not play Walker.
