I wouldn't call it dropping Ablett, but he has played in every single match this year (with very little time spent on the bench) so if we have enough of our other forwards passed fit for this one then I'd be tempted to give him a week off.

I'd go with
Hardaker
Briscoe
Watkins
Moon
Hall
Sinfield
Mcguire
Garbutt
Aiton
Kylie
Keinhorst
Delaney
Cuthbertson

Burrow
Singleton
Jjb
Ablett

I think if we can rest Peacock and ablett we should.

backs are pretty much set with Zak and Tom back, for forwards I would go with

Leuluai
Aiton
Cuthbertson
Delaney
Keinhorst
Jjb

Singleton
Burrow
Garbutt
Yates/Mulhern /Walters .

Should be enough for Salford . Getting Briscoe match fit for super 8 and resting two forwards for one game seems good sense.I'm betting we go with a full though

Hardaker
Briscoe Watkins Moon Hall
Sinfield McGuire
Leuluai Aiton Cuthbertson
Delaney Keinhorst
Singleton

Burrow JJB Peacock Garbutt.

Ablett Yates

Salford and Catalan both going to be very tough games. Salford are hitting form now and a loss on Friday would mean they cannot get into the eight. And Catalan will be tough because if they lose this week and next, they could potentially lose their top eight spot.

Handley has done very well for himself and got a lot more game time than he hoped he would get.
That said I think it's a good time to have Briscoe back and to rest Handley.
Next season he can push both wingers for a spot and continue his development.

Peacock will not accept being rested in his last season, he will be savouring every minute.You're a long time retired and going off Thursdays performance he still looks as fresh and good as ever

Isn't Handley injured? Regardless, Briscoe needs a run out. Keinhorst deserves to keep his place too. Rest Delaney. We need to finish 1st leading into the Super 8's. Having Saints and Wigan at home is vital. I'd go:
Hardaker
Briscoe
Watkins
Moon
Hall
Sinfield
McGuire
Leuluai
Aiton
Peacock
Keinhorst
Ablett
Cuthbertson
Subs:
Singleton
Burrow
JJB

The whole 'JP getting flogged' debate has itself been flogged to death over years. entering the winter of his final season who'd begrudge him a second.

he coul;d still make the dream team not at his peak

JJB and Briscoe don't make the 19, no Peacock included too.

Hardaker
Handley
Watkins
Moon
Hall
Sinfield
McGuire
Leuluai
Aiton
Cuthbertson
Delaney
Keinhorst
Ablett

Burrow (personally would like to see R.Ward but doubt it unless he planning on resting one of the pivots at 6/7/9)
Singleton
Garbutt
Yates

Walters and R.Ward the two missing out.

Happy to be proved wrong

A strong squad selected still regardless.Shame Briscoe is not included would be nice to see him get some match fitness over the next couple of weeks.

I'd suggest that shouldn't be Peacock's call.

If the club think he would benefit from having a week off ahead of the Super 8s and playoffs, then that's what should happen. If he doesn't like it, tough.

Leeds have no duty to keep Jamie Peacock happy. What's he going to do, put in a transfer request?

You have to consider the fixtures to come. Peacock might not really need the rest this week but might in 4/5 weeks time, but after this week what other opportunities are they? After Salford every game we play is going to be against top 8 sides plus cup and playoff games. Unless we find ourselves unable to move places going into the last round then they isn't really a good chance to rest someone like Peacock.

Aye that was my thinking. Obviously if we don't make the cup final he will have a week off there.
