Thats great news! No Tuson will be on bench, he should have played last week but there was a cock up with the paperwork!!

I don't think he'll play, unfortunately

Tuson and Roberts to miss out.

Pryce over Goulding for me.

Purely on Pryce's defensive record so far, as they have both done well going forward.

Pat back on the wing!!!



Hopfully....

Certainly didn't expect a Jamie Peacock return for Leeds.

Can't see him playing to be fair! Could be a week too early for him.

Get in!

Hope he plays

I'm sure Madge wouldn't name him in the 19 unless he was 100% fit and raring to go. Madge has spoken for weeks about not rushing Amos back, so why would he name him in this week's 19 were he not ready to take to the field. He's been back in full training for a couple of weeks at least.

I said earlier in the week I had a feeling Amos would play, we'll he's in the 19 so well on his way to playing on Saturday.

I'd start him but on the wing.

Keep the match fit Richards at FB as it’s a key position.

They could possibly swap around as the game goes on anyway with Roberts returning some kicks etc.

Let’s hope he plays as a big games like this need big players.

FB 2 Roberts
RW 20 Pryce
RC 3 Gleeson
LC 4 Carmont
LW 5 Richards
SO 6 Sam
SH 7 Leuluai
P 8 Fielden
H 15 McIllorum
P 10 Coley
SR 25 Farrell
SR 12 Joel
LF 13 O'Loughlin

S 9 Riddell
S 14 Prescott
S 17 Paleaaesina
S 29 Tuson

That would be the team I'd like to see (assuming Roberts is 100% good to go, if not Richards at FB with Goulding on the wing). I think it's the team he'll play as well except Bailey will probably clinch a bench spot instead of Tuson/Feka.

Bailey will start, experience in these games is crucial.

Bailey will start and Farrell on the bench.

Roberts and Tuson to miss out, unless Prescott fails a fitness test.

What's up with O'Carroll?

Pulled his Groin Madge says in the interview on the website

Groin injury.

Not think he might rest Farrell this week as he has played a few on the bounce now.
I would think he will play Roberts and leave out Farrell and Goulding

this is actually true, I got laughed at last week when I said he was on the bench. RFL changed the rules on paperwork and this caused a delay. Honestly!!!

Not sure he will be on the bench this week and thats not with any inside knowledge , I just think if Prescot is back he will replace him.

so excited he's back, i recon it'll be :-

Any news on famous?

This is true, I just worry about what happens if there's a bit too much space between Carmont and Bailey, a nippy player like Danny McGuire would be through in an instant.

To be honest Madge doesn't seem the type to go for the smoke and mirrors approach like Saints used to do with KFC. I don't think he'd use up a place in the squad for a player if he doesn't think he's capable of playing at 100%.

If Amos does play I just worry if he'll be a little rusty because if anyone can pick out a weak link with a kick, it's Kevin Sinfield

Or he could pick up where he left off for his place in the squad?

Jamie Peacock, Ali Lauitiiti and Chris Clarkson back for Leeds. Shocked that Jamie Peacock is included though. Will only play if one of JJB or Ian Kirke is out.
