1. Brent Webb 2. Ben Jones-Bishop 3. Kallum Watkins 4. Zak Hardaker 5. Ryan Hall

7. Rob Burrow 8. Kylie Leuluai 10. Jamie Peacock 11. Jamie Jones-Buchanan 13. Kevin Sinfield (c) 15. Brett Delaney 16. Ryan Bailey 17. Ian Kirke 18. Chris Clarkson 19. Weller Hauraki 20. Darrell Griffin 21. Richard Moore 25. Stevie Ward 31. Shaun Lunt

Id leave Delaney and Hauraki out and play Webb at 7.

If Delaney is as doubtful as McDermott said he was a few days ago then we have no choice but to put Hardaker back to left centre with Webb at FB.



Webb

BJB, Watkins, Hardaker, Hall

Sinfield, Burrow

Leuluai, Lunt, Peacock

JJB, Ward

Bailey



Griffin, Kirke, Clarkson, Hauraki



Tempted to put Ward on the bench actually and promote Clarkson. With both Lunt and Burrow starting we have no pivot player on the bench and if Lunt needs a breather then Ward can slot in fresh in the halves with Burrow switching to hooker.

Same old tried and tested.

I would play Chisholm and rest BJB or Hall

I would go one further and play Keinhorst and rest Hardaker.

With Ablett out and Delaney an unnecessary risk to take I think giving Keinhorst a game should of happened but he's not in the 19 and with a top 4 finish in touching distance I can't see any of the U20's getting a shot for the remaining games of this season with the exception of the week after Wembley if we are a bit walking wounded or one of the wingers get an injury.

No choice ? ....There was every opportunity to trial Keinhorst at LC and keep Hardaker in his proven better poistion at FB.



Suffice to say I also agree with Chapylad......it would have been further ideal to see Chisholm outside his

u-20's centre partner and given Hall a well earned week off.





It seems to me a contrived move to get Webb established back at FB for the run up to Wembley.

Ok clarification, no choice given the 19 man squad announced (which doesn't include Keinhorst which is why I didn't either), so sorry for picking a team from the guys listed for the game, how wrong of me. If you read my 2nd post I actually said I think it's a good game for Keinhorst, however I do disagree with the idea of giving him and Chisholm their debuts together on the same side of the pitch, the word UNNECESSARY again springs to mind. As for contrived moves I don't believe it was McDermott who injured Delaney's thumb or Ablett's hamstring which has led to the likely reintroduction of Webb at FB.

Hang on, wingers are the last in the team who need resting. If anyone is going to be rested it should be Peacock or Leuluai or at least a forward.

With Ablett out and Delaney currently in for an MOT I'd go with:

1. Webb

2. Jones-Bishop

3. Watkins

4. Hardaker

5. Hall

6. Sinfield

7. Ward

8. Leuluai

9. Burrow

10. Griffin

11. JJB

12. Clarkson

13. Bailey



14. Lunt

15. Moore

16. Kirke

17. Hauraki



I'm loathe to move Hardaker away from full back but needs must with Ablett out and Delaney apparently doubtful, plus a rest to Delaney and Peacock can't do any harm.

I think frog will play



Hardaker

Bishop

Watkins

Delaney

Peacock

Ward

Subs griffin, Moore, kirke, Webb

I think most on here would agree. Hardaker has introduced a new concept to a Leeds Full Backs play and that is an ability to tackle when a player has broken the line. He made a couple in the Semi that had Webb been @ FB instead of him would have been certain Wigan Tries.

Glad you're not the Leeds coach.

Hardaker should [unot[/u be displaced from FB.......and Ward should not be used as jack of all trades, this time at SH. If a place cannot be found for him at SO or LF then he should start on the bench as somebody to come on as a game changer in one of those two pivot positions.

Absolutelty.
