if we had played wigan last week i think they may have played.

I don't think so,say for instance it was a play-off semi or a CC match they could have played "patched up" it's not unheard of.

There's a strange perception that a dead leg is always a minor injury yet it's deep bruising inside one of the biggest muscles in your body!

I once got kicked full on in the middle of my thigh playing football - classic dead leg - I could barely walk for weeks and after a couple of days I had freakish deep purple bruises on both my hip/ar[is[/ie and the outside of my knee. The bruse on my hip was the size of a dinner plate!

Thank god for that, I thought his leg had actually died.

Happened to me that, it aint ideal.

rl19 Man Squads hererl Who do you will think will miss out from yours? Still looks like a very strong Leeds team, should be a cracking match,

our 17 will probably be:

Phelps
Roberts
Gleeson
Carmont
Richards
Tomkins
Leuluai
Fielden
Riddell
Coley
Hansen
Joel
O'Loughlin

Mossop
Prescott
O'Carroll
Bailey

Well I’m ‘in the know’ and have it on very good authority that we’ll have a fully fit squad plus Lee Smith, Henry Fa'afili and Lesley Vainikolo come Friday night.

i dont think this game is anyway near the foregone conclusion that alot of leeds fans have predicted on the threads ive read this week. That 19 is a strong team. I think we will edge you by 6-8 points but its gonna be one hell of an arm wrestle. Leeds wont want to be 8 points adrift of us after friday and i feel you will be fired up to hell and determined. Cant wait. Its gonna be a cracker !!!!

If everyone named in the 19 is fit i would expect Ambler and Bush or Coady to miss out.
Last week though i think 4 players named in the 19 were unfit when the team was announced.

Bailey was ill. So 3, hall beds and sir kev!

As i stated in a previous thread, the game will be closer than some think especially now with a strong 17. play coady on the wing as he is a more aggressive defender rather than bush. contrary to what other fans think of sinfield his return is a massive boost and i predict a win by 1 -4 points

How do you know we are going to have a strong 17? I would have said last week we had a strong 17 before the team was announced b4 kick off - it then turned out to be the weakest since Cas a year or 2 ago.

Sinfield still may not play.

Hall is 50/50

Buderus is 50/50

Kylie was reported on here to have taken a knock too. They might be keeping quiet about that one like the Buderus/Hall injuries which were kept quite by Bluey and Co.

The only certainty is Bailey.

I hope all the above are fit, but there is still a chance last weeks squad may appear again - minus JP and pos Kylie.

Don't mean to worry anyone further but Delaney pulled out of training yesterday complaining of an problem with his leg - unfortunately this is all i know so don't know the extent of this.

If anyone knows more, would be reassuring to hear it was nothing and is now fine after a good sleep ....

Hopefully it was just precaution. With the current state of injuries anyone that feels a muscle tighten up or twitch in training should be urged to go home and watch loose women, but ffs Brett your taking it a bit too far now!!
