The 20 man squad in full:
1. Brent Webb
2. Scott Donald
3. Clinton Toopi
4. Keith Senior
5. Lee Smith
6. Danny McGuire
7. Rob Burrow
8. Kylie Leuluai
9. Matt Diskin
10. Jamie Peacock
11. Jamie Jones-Buchanan
12. Gareth Ellis
13. Kevin Sinfield (C)
14. Ali Lauitiiti
15. Jamie Thackray
16. Ryan Bailey
18. Ian Kirke
22. Carl Ablett
23. Jordan Tansey
25. Ryan Hall

It will be interesting to see who drops out of that come Thursday. If Hall is fit I'd expect Smith to be dropped, but other than there's some interesting decisions to be made.

tansey for kirke.hopefully

can't see lee been dropped this week. it'll more then likely be the same team as last week, with maybe albett/kirke out for tansey. (hopefully kirke)

i can see smith out for hall. for once i hope smith agree's with me

rlBoth Squadsrl

according to smith in the y.e.p thackery is 'not selected' and bailey is injured

Then that would give us a ridiculously light weight 17, if all the players are coming from that 20.

nothing shocks me with smiths tactics nowadays

Rhinos will be without props Jamie Thackray and Ryan Bailey for tomorrow's game.

Coach Tony Smith said Thackray is "not selected", while Bailey has a groin injury.

"It is something Ryan has been carrying for a little while and he aggravated it against Hull last week," said Smith.

Winger Ryan Hall is included in Rhinos' 18 man squad after missing three games due to a dead leg.

Forward Ali Lauitiiti, who was sidelined by a shin problem last week, is also back in contention, along with utility-player Jordan Tansey, who was left out against Hull.

So a ridiculously light weight squad then. When we are fully fit we fail to punch our weight, now he makes it worse. For what reason could our number 1 prop for the season, be "not selected". Whats up with replacing with Haley, or recalling Burgess.

The sooner Smith is away from this club the better.

Thackray has made a couple of costly errors in the last 2 games (although 1 looked like the ball could have been stolen) but to drop him seems harsh. He has rarely not had a positive impact when introduced off the bench this season.
The Wakey game has the importance of a play off game and we should have our best 17 playing. Thackray is in that 17 IMO.

A bizarre thing to do I'll concede, although if the presence/absence of Thacks determines whether or not we're good enough to beat Wakey then we're f*cked once we meet the top teams in the playoffs in any case.

Fair point, but with Bailey and Scruton injured it means we have only Leuluai and Peacock as props.That is a gamble against a team that has alreadt won at Headingley a few weeks ago.
This will also probably mean that he is sticking with Burrow at SH and not partnering McGuire and Sinny again at half back.

Then why not give Luke Burgess a go now that Doncaster have finished their season
