I would make Jammer and Peacock evens, apart from that i pretty much agree, hence why you're favourites!

Have you REALLY put Lee Smith on a par with Matt Gidley? Really

One eyedism to a point!

He makes up for it though by having Gardner on a par with Donald .

That choice confused me slightly.

I'd have Jammer over Peacock, Gidley over Smith and Donald over Gardner - agree with everything else.

As for the squad - no changes from last week. Dixon and Ashurst to miss out - same 13 and same 17.

If we are talking last 2 gf's then you can see why he's gone for smith.

Donald hasnt been in the best of form this season, I would think thats due to him and Hall swapping wings, and having Lee Smith on the side of him and not Keith Senior. Thats why I have put them on a par.

Regarding Lee Smith and Matt Gidley, I feel that they both are on a par, because Lee Smith has had a good final season for Leeds and I think that he will play as good as he did last season in the Grand Final.
