We picked up a few injuries against Hull FC, Webb Ablett and Delaney all didnt come back on after getting injured, but the players all did brilliant to keep the win in their hands. If they are all out, I would like to think that Ryan Bailey and Ali Lauitiiti are both back, I would like us to give a chance to Paul McShane against Harlequins. I would go:



Ben Jones Bishop

Lee Smith

Kallum Watkins

Keith Senior

Ryan Hall

Kevin Sinfield

Rob Burrow

Kylie Leuluai

Danny Buderus

Luke Burgess

Jamie Jones-Buchanan

Ali Lauitiiti/Jay Pitts

Chris Clarkson



Weller Hauraki

Ben Cross

Ryan Bailey/Ian Kirke

Paul McShane



Jay Pitts/Ali Lauitiiti

Ian Kirke/Ryan Bailey

Got to say Kirke certainly doesn't deserve to be Dropped.

i may be tempted to give buderus a rest. two 80 min games and warrington next week. give mcshane a go as we also have burrow and sinfield to drop in for a while

Its just what I think will happen when Bailey returns from injury. Unfortunate, but likely.

Good to see three teams from the right side of the pennines topping the table (Castleford, Leeds and Harlequins), making Headingley's season opener mega.



Come on Leeds let's have some cracking publicity for this top of the table grudge match.

Tempting I agree but the wrong call IMO. I think it would have the opposite effect. You can do all the training in the world but the only thing that will get you "match fit" is a match. I think he needs to get used to playing 80 minutes, and the team need to get used to having him on for 80 minutes.

Delaney & Ablett confirmed out.



Webb & Ali not ruled out as yet.

Can't wait fro Fri. Bad news about Delaney and Ablett.



Would keep with Buderus for full 80

Hopefully then Webb and Ali will be fit.

Webb/BjB

Hall

Senior

Watkins

Bjb/Smith

Sinfield

Burrow

Leuleui

Buderus

Burgess

Jjb

Hauraki

Clarkson



Cross

Kirke

Ali

Pitts/Smith.

makes sense. Would need to say what McShane and Hood were doing in training though.



I think it is more important to go with a big bench. Id want plenty of Game time for Pitts, Clarkson, Maybe give a shot to singleton or Stewart.



Kylie, JJb, Kirke, Burgess all put in huge stints last week, need them fresh for next week especially with the injury worries we have

Assuming Ali and Cross are fit, and that Webb, Ablett and Delaney are missing:



BJB

Smith

Watkins

Senior

Hall

Sinfield

Burrow

Leuluai

McShane

Burgess

Lauitiiti

Clarkson

JJB



Kirke

Cross

Hauraki

Pitts
