“This is embarrassing, but over two years I’ve probably trained no more than 50 times. Bear in mind we train every day, but I just couldn’t physically train, so I was sitting on a bike. It’s about getting my body right and the rugby will then come.”

Thankfully, things are now looking up for Ferres, who is aiming for a return to the field in March.

It probably explains why is 2 stone overweight.
On team selection I too would have Keinhorst in the 17 but can see why he will most likely go for Delaney due to his experience.
I am also in the minority by going for Golding at FB as I think his defensive skills are much better than Walkers.
And we have enough attacking players in other parts of the team in order to do without him.

We have certainly still to see the best of Ferres for us that's for sure.he hasn't had much luck regards fitness since arriving.at 31 he could still have a few good seasons left in him but you get the feeling this is a make or break year for him. He needs a good run from march and to shed the excess flab which i assume is still present.

Personally id go
Walker
Briscoe
Watkins
Sutty
Hall
Moon
Myler
Garbutt
Parcell
Singo
Jjb
Keinhorst
Cuthbo

Dwyer
Mullally
Abbo
Petaru

I too would pick Golding.

Dwyer was meant to be be playing in the friendly vs Fev tonight but not risked to a groin strain.

If that's still an issue in a weeks time it might see Lilley make the bench.

Garbutt come off the field with an injury now also. With Dwyer & Oledzki missing the game through injury, we are down a few already. Ferres, Galloway & then maybe Ward, Dwyer, Garbutt & Oledzki.

i heard that dwyer will be fine for the opener and simply wasn't risked at fev,if so he will be on the bench
i would also give jack walker the start at full back as it is his position to lose
i hope that garbutt is ok as he is our big meter maker up front

Two more sleeps! I can't wait.

I for one am really looking forward to seeing this match. Should be a well fought contest and for me personally, it feels like the end of an era at Leeds. Very must like ourselves post-2005. Looking forward to seeing you rebuild over the next few years! See what other young talent comes through your ranks and hopefully keep consistent on the field too.

Indeed, touch wood we can manage the transition smoothly, while still remaining competitive.

yes , but we have been said to have been in transition since 2010
