Quote: Marty Grrrrrrrrrr! "If a player who is the 25 man squad named at the start of the season is doubtful for a game he cannot be brought into the matchday 17 if he isnt named in the 19 named 48 hours before the game. Players outside the 25 can be added to the 17.
As an example this week Delaney could be 50/50 today to play Fri but if he isnt named in 19 he cant play if he is passed fit Fri. Therefore coaches tend to name a strong 19.
Think Leeds have abused this a bit this year due to the number of injuries we have had but those are the RFL regulations in place.'"
We abused it last year without a host of injuries.
