Vea has been out injured for a couple of weeks now and won't be playing on Friday. It's also likely that Masoe could be banned after getting sinbinned for a high shot against Hudds. Greenwood is missing too so that'll be a fair bit of size and endeavour missing!

As for the kicking game, Burns and Walsh both made their return today so I don't see it being too bad.

Will be an interesting game, even seeing the lineups will be fairly interesting. Could really do with a win here but I think you will probably take it, we don't really have a specialist fullback playing atm and Sinfield usually has a field day against Wellens so I worry about what he'll do to (probably) Hohaia! Can't wait though.

This is the team i would go with.Show a bit of faith in Golding,if he truly has the talent this game time he is getting now will serve him and us well in the long run,besides i don't see too many better options aside from shuffling players from their settled positions.

I would probably go with this. Goldings errors yesterday came from fullback, not the wing. He really is not ready for fullback, but I don't see the issue in him learning from the wing.

I don't think we get enough out of Delaney, who to be frank is quite pedestrian, and not really the dominant defender he was. However, I am not sure what other options we have, as I don't think much of Yates either.

Agree with that, we've got to accept Golding will make mistakes and I'd rather show some faith in him and give him time. And as you say where else can he learn other than on the wing.

Agree on Delaney too, though I think he does a bit of the unglamorous work of taking a drive against set defences. It was a toss up between him, Achurch and Yates for 2 bench spots and I went with Achurch because of his size and speed plus he's not bad at looking for an offload and then it was just really 50\50 between Delaney and Yates.

If he was available I'd have been tempted to go for Walters ahead of them.

Yates looks nowhere near big enough to me, he's got tiny legs for a prop, I'd give Mulhearn a chance as he looks more capable of holding his at this level physically.

no charges this week so Masoa could face us unless he picks up injury

Can't believe your all scared of Masoe?

Probable line up for Saints

Hohaia
Makinson
Turner
Jones
Swift
Burns
Walsh/Wilkin
Walmsley
Roby
Amor
Thompson
Wilkin/Flanagan
LMS

Mose
Richards
Walsh
Flanagan

Savelio (had a blinder against you last year)
Another

(Injuries to Wello,Greenwood,Lomax,Vea,Percival,Dawson)

How lovely to see two halves in a saints team!

We're missing some strike players but Leeds have absentees too and I think it's going to be a great game.

Interesting to see how Leeds compete in the middle of the field this week. Saints will fancy it in the forwards and will probably run with six props. Big challenge for this Leeds group. Gonna be a great game.

Expect something like.....

Hohaia
Makinson
Jones
Turner
Swift
Burns
Walsh
Amor
Roby
Walmsley
Wilkin
LMS
Thompson

Masoe
Richards
Flanagan
Savelio

I don't think Achurch warrants a place at the moment. Shame Walters is injured. I think the experience of playing at Saints would do Handley & Golding the world of good. Same goes for Sutcliffe & Yates.
