Leeds seem most vulnerable when teams shift the ball wide rapidly early in the tackle count. Wigan can do this with great effect, when they set up for ''the move'', it's signed, sealed, telegraphed and emailed to the defence in advance, but even though you can see it coming, stopping it is another matter. They always seem to manage to work that overlap for charnley.

To win Leeds have to dominate in the forwards, restrict their quick PTBs and cut off supply to their dangerous runners. If our side were at full strength it would need a top performance on their ground in a semi final, but to perhaps have to start without either JJB or Delaney or both will be a big ask.

Against the Saints JJB went off after about 25 minutes and Delaney followed him before halftime and it was a good job that Kirke and Bailey both stood up to the mark off the bench in the go forward department. Can they repeat this week and can Singleton make up for the lost carries and learn from his defensive mistakes. Can't wait to find out.

really wouldn't like to call this.massive game. a real cracker in store

I dont think Singo would let anyone down if he was called upon. He's a lad that will have a lot of fire in his belly after a poor performance against Wire, infact Im looking forward to him lining up in a revved up pack. I think if we were to lose JJB and Delaney it will only bring out the fire in Bailey and Kirke as it did last week.

News is that Delaney, BJB and McGuire are injury concerns. Sutcliffe in for McGuire if necessary and maybe a recall for McShane. BJB would be the difficult one to replace, I wouldn't want to see Ablett in the centres, we need him in the pack.

Joel Vickery is on stand by.

Behave.

Same 19 as last week

Hey remember, who was the only team Vickery scored a try against

Lets hope he is better than Joe!

Just heard Delaney fit but JJB unlikely

Not likely.

In that case I'd run with the same format as last week with Clarkson coming in for JJB. Lets him get through lots of tackling early doors and possibly bring in Singleton for Achurch.

He was that significant that I forgot his name!

As I left home this morning I'm sure I heard on Radio Leeds that JJB was in the squad.
