I'm concerned that if Wheeler gets a ring, he might dislocate his finger.

Leeds squad........

1. Brent Webb, 3. Brett Delaney, 5. Ryan Hall, 6. Danny McGuire, 7. Rob Burrow, 8 Kylie Leuluai, 9. Danny Buderus, 10. Jamie Peacock,11. Jamie Jones-Buchanan, 12. Carl Ablett, 13. Kevin Sinfield, 14. Ali Lauitiiti, 16. Ryan Bailey, 17. Ian Kirke, 19. Kallum Watkins, 20. Weller Hauraki, 21. Chris Clarkson, 23. Ben Jones-Bishop, 27. Zak Hardaker.

Subs:
7. Rob Burrow
16. Ryan Bailey
17. Ian Kirke
20. Weller Hauraki

Missing out: Ablett/Hardaker and Lauititi

Nah, I reckon Watkins will miss out with Ablett in the centres. Watkins has been out for 6 weeks hasn't he?

I can also see them picking Lauititi given how well he plays against us.

I just thought that Hardaker may be dropped because of his inexperience, but may keep his place due to his performances.
And people on the Leeds board have said that Hauraki (if you would drop him) has improved alot this season and deserves his place and that that Lauititi isn't up to speed. But I can see why you would play Lauititi, due to problems he causes!

To be honest I think the most likely lineup is the one that faced Warrington. I can't see them bringing Watkins back for the same reason we've not brought Leon back. Ali L was left out last weekend so he might well be left out, but I can just see him getting picked, particularly if they have been watching the previous Grand Finals.

Big shock that pryce not named in the squad as he was back in training yesterday and was fine.

aint a shock to me that he aint in the squad

I think not played enough was the verdict. So h may have trained but not enough shown to get picked ahead of Wheeler.

A shame too, but if Royce doesnt think he's ready then I guess Wheeler is the man to get splinters in his ar$e for 80 minutes

We could alway put KC on the bench, I'm sure he would do a radlinski and warm the bench for free.

Not sure how Wheeler passes the 'played enough' test if Pryce hasn't?

I don't think Gary wheeler has played more rugby than pryce.

Leon was named on the bench last week but dropped out yet the following week is dropped due to lack of rugby.

Personally, and i said the same last week, i'd have wheeler in before Pryce anyway

Wheeler has played in more games this season than has Pryce.

And I would have had Wheeler in ahead of Pryce anyway, not least because Wheeler can kick (whereas Pryce cannot) as well as being a very good player.

I'd have thought pryce was royces ideal bench warmer. If Royce had to use him he covers every position in the backs and can slot in at 13.

Leon also has the ability to cause trouble if we need a try. I bet Leeds are more than happy to here pryce isn't playing.

Shame we won't see pryce in saints shirt again as he's been a good player for us.

Neither have given any game time of note.

How has Pryce played less game time than he had last week, when he was due a bench spot?

I'd have had Pryce, been there, done it and won the Harry Sunderland. Not to be, though, and I do like Wheeler a lot so I'm not disappointed.

Not that it matters, he'll get no game time anyway.

He has been great, but lets not forget he has a tendancy to disappear if the going gets tough

You say that, but he's been MOM in the two major RL Finals.

Wheeler gets carried off when it gets tough.

indeed, and as i said, he has been great for us

I Think its a mistake and the reason being used don't wash either.
