Our centres will be Martin and Gleeson, don't think there is much between Gleeson and Gibson who will be up against each other assuming that Watkins plays on the left again, and as for the other two, it will be a toss up whether it is Martin's experience or Watkins's speed and youthful exhuberance that wins that battle IMO, all in all pretty evenly matched I'd say.

Very young but you can only play what you have. It's not like Wakey arent without problems either. Gibson will be a lot stronger defensively than Watkins anyway. It's just wether he can do anything in attack. He doesnt seem to have the same latteral movements any more.

If cry bady McGuire dose not ref the game as is the norm we have a big chance cant say that I am sorry to see no Burrow hes a big loss for Leeds

Watkins out played Martin in December but that is a long time ago now. He also out played Dalle Courte on Friday. I have no problems with his attack anyway as I think he is the most dangerous back on the leeds team. It's just his defence thats a bit shakey but he's only 17/18. That will come.

Pretty much agree with all that.



If Gibson comes through the game uninjured it's a bonus. We need a big year from him. I suspect this is his last chance to make an impression.

Ganson is the ref so that will not be an issue anyway. Even so, McGuire isnt that bad. Sinfield does most of the back chat to the ref but he's captain and is allowed to some degree.

You've never watched brough and drew paly for you lot then

19 man squads for Friday.

Snitch is named Rooney drops out

Blaymire, Blanch, Martin, Atkins, Demetriou, Drew, Snitch, Wiles, Grix, Obst, Stosic, Bibey, Henderson, Gleeson, Halley, Ferguson, Bibb, Pitts, Blake.

No Burrows or Senior but Buderus in

Donald, Smith, Hall, McGuire, Leuluai, Buderus, Peacock, Jones-Buchanan, Lauitiiti, Sinfield, Diskin, Bailey, Kirke, Ablett, Burgess, Gibson, Allan, Watkins, Manning.

Would be good to see Atkins back in the three quarters to add a bit of strength to the attacking line, looking forward to him getting good ball to Halley, and anything is possible but on last weeks form though Tony Martin will take some shifting from the left centre.

And we need Martin's goalkicking.

Atkins won’t play. It will be the same team as last Sunday.

I dont even know what a paly is, sorry.

It's like play but spelt paly

It's ok rhinoms. When someone starts picking up on your spelling it's usually because they've got no other response.

In this instance you placed a very pertinent point and I'm not surpised he had no answer.

I think the main answer is that we know that Drew and Brough have a go at the ref from time to time...but when they do, they tend to be penalised.

When ANY leeds player does it then they tend to get the ref agreeing with them!

Not that i'm paranoid or anything!

I'd love to know where you watch these matches from!!

Saints are worse for it IMO! But McGuire and Sinfield like to moan at the ref...

The day I start to question the referees integrity is the day I stop watching the game.

As a leeds fan that day will not come,

Would be tough for Ryan to get into the side on Friday, shoulder fine now just depend son fitness. He could be on the bench. Offers comething different to the other 2 centres. But Gleeson and Martin both had good games against Wigan

Well no it wont because no matter what goes against us I wont question the referees integrity.

It's too easy to blame referees.

that wasnt the reason,
i wonder what you said at mm gansongate

Are you saying Ganson/Klein purposely messed up to gift Leeds the win?

What do you mean?

It was a complete balls up but I very much doubt it was part of some great plan.

You evidently feel the games officials are corrupt so I wonder why you bother watching at all.

And nor should he until one of the incumbents does something to warrant being replaced. Bringing unfit players back and dropping those that were doing the business was one of the reasons for the season going t!ts up last year IMO.
