This one is going to be interesting especially after today's win v Salford, especially with injuries tolling up... Golding, Watkins, Burrow, Sutcliffe, Delaney, Keinhorst, Ferres, Walters. Handley all could be missing (guessing Golding & Keinhorst will be due back)

Tough game to call. On our day we are probably the best team in the league. At our worst, we are abysmal and can have big scores put on us. It is this disparity in performance that will mean that we won't win the Grand Final. I think you will beat us on Friday but we will win the Semi

If Golding and Keinhorst fit. Jimmy advised last week that he was hoping to return this week.

Interesting one this, the suggested injuries are largely to players who are rumoured to retire (Burrow) or to those who are likely fit to play (Golding and Keinhorst) or those deemed not good enough anyway by many (Handley and Walters) so we're not as handicapped by injury as it might appear. Of the above list, only Watkins and Ferres are likely to be missing but would play if they were fit.

Can anyone tell us the last time Delaney played 6 consecutive games? Seems like he's always injured these days.

Burrow is retiring t he end of season, this is fact not rumour, we look a better side without the very disappointing ferres

I think we need Keinhorst back most (Watkins is just a one week protocol thing). That left centre position has been a nuisance for a while now and would really help it he can return this week and then stay fit. Ward did very good there yesterday but should be back in the forwards ideally.

Do you have a link to the confirmation, think i missed the announcement

If Burrow, Sutcliffe and Delaney were fit they would be in the mix along with Watkins, Ferris, Golding and Keinhorst. So not sure of your point as that makes 7 regulars injured.

I know Burrow out for long period...if he does retire after this season I hope we keep him on as a coach as he has done excellent work with U16s..maybe give him bigger role in academy coaches. Would also like to see him do one on one coaching with some of younger backs.

I suppose much of my point is actually about next year, when a number of those players probably won't be here. If McGuire is also moving on, there is a big chunk of salary cap coming free even after signing Myler. It's all well and good saying Delaney would be in the 17 if fit, problem is he hardly ever is. I'd be looking to find a way to release him if we could.

I just don't think that we are going to be missing much as Golding and Keinhorst will likely play.

you could play your u19s on friday night and still beat us due to our record at headingley in superleague!

I wouldn't be surprised to see Moon back at 4 in this one because of Watkins' injury. Can't realistically see Keinhorst coming straight into the centres against Fonua and co after not using his hand for 12 weeks.

This is my thinking also, but giving Golding the wing spot with Hall moving into centre. Keinhorst has to be on the bench.
