JJB, Kylie and Delaney are all doubtful for this game.

I'd like to see Hood, and maybe Baldwinson in the 17 for this week.

With Sutcliffe, Minns, Singleton and Keinhorst already likely to feature, I think you are perhaps being a little bit optimistic. That being said, I wouldn't mind seeing those two either.

At least we still have to go to Salford - we could play JJB's 4 boys and still beat that lot.

I'd like us to line up like this
Hardaker
Minns
Moon
Keinhorst
Hall
Sutcliffe
Burrow
JP
Mcshane
Kylie/Moore
Bailey
Clarkson
Sinfield

Singleton
Moore(if kylie isn't injured if he is Baldwinson)
Kirke
Achurch

As if there's a Mrs Eve.

If Delaney is deemed unfit to play for the Exiles, I'm pretty sure there is an RFL rule that prevents him turning out for Leeds 48 hours later. Likewise Leuluai.

Could be a case of last 17 standing get a game.

I think you see similar things in football with players withdrawn from Internationals only to play for their club a few days later. If the coaching team can provide medical evidence that he's not quite right to play in the Exiles game then shouldn't be no problem (I doubt the RFL will be that strict anyways, certainly not with Exiles players, its part of the reason only a certain amount of players from 1 club are picked, not to put too much of a strain on them).

If he's fit for Monday, which is over 48 hours later so completely possible with a minor knee knock then he'll be ok to be picked for Leeds.

Just gone back and had a read of the Operational Rules, and it explicitly states that a player withdrawn by the team doctor of a representative side can play for his club during the period that he would have otherwise been away on representative duty.

So even if Leeds were playing Sunday, if the Exiles doctor deemed Delaney and Leuluai unfit they would still be allowed to play for Leeds that weekend.

Ludicrous IMO, no wonder nobody gives a monkeys about the international game any more.

Not sure this candy pop game will classify as a rep game.

Yeah it's not classed as an official international

So 'representive duty' reg's are moot.

I was right. YAWN.

RFL confirmed Delaney A-ok to play Monday night regardless of whether he plays or not for Exiles.

Injury updates -

•Delaney is out for 3 weeks
•Kylie is a major doubt for Monday's game especially if he plays for the exiles
•Liam Hood is out for a month

So we could see Jordan Baldwinson on monday
