In terms of Hardaker. Golding is only just making his return today for the u19's after a long period out after his back injury so I'm not sure he'd get thrown into a SL game so soon after. Handley is an option but would mean the starting three quarters all play (can't drop Keinhorst back there if Delaney isn't fit and other forwards are rested).

Personally wouldn't go for big changes (just put some starters on the bench and hopefully use them sparingly depending on how the match goes) as I'd prefer to get the LLS as quickly as possible and then rest players in the final league games for the playoffs. Yes they might get injured before Wembley, but if we have to go strongest for the last one or two league games then they might get injured for the playoffs.

Hardaker
Briscoe
Watkins
Moon
Hall
McGuire
Burrow
Garbutt
R.Ward
Leuluai
S.Ward
Ablett
Singleton

Sinfield
Cuthbertson
Keinhorst
Achurch/Mulhern

Cuthbertson was holding his right hand/wrist towards the end last night so he may be forced into missing a game.
Garbutt gets better each game he plays which means that Kylie is not needed as much.
On his return Ward's efforts in defence were immense.
Achurch's injury meant Ward had to play longer minutes than were planned I'm sure.

Lol, no Gilder, even I wouldn't be so stupid to listen if that was the case.

Well like I said I previously didn't have any concerns, whether its a case he's held back for them in games, trying to not do himself any harm due to the fact he will have been waiting for a first team opportunity and maybe needing to grasp it with both hands given I believe he is out of contract at the end of the season? May be part of the reason why if the opinion is correct he's 'bottled it' on occasions. On the flip side though, if you waiting for a first team opportunity, you don't really want to be seen giving away easy yards do you? Soooooooooooo it's a bit inconclusive, again as said previous I haven't seen much of Hunslet, so I will wait to pass judgement, but it just doesn't fill me with great confidence.

On the contrary...it would be quite devastating for the two of them to miss out on their final ever appearance at wembley for the sake of one not now so critical must win match....!!!

i would rest both of them; Cuthbertson; Hardaker and possibly McGuire too (on bench). Give Handley a shot at FB with Robbie Ward; Lilley and Mulhern all brought in.

Looking at the remaining fixtures if Hudds win at Saints next week then I think they'll go on to get 3rd spot and Saints will have to fight it out with Cas (who they play away) for 4th spot.

Think Cuthbo dislocated a finger. He went off holding his paw, and seemed fine when he came back on minutes later.

Changed squad after Delaney is a doubt, seen that Cuthbertson was holding his wrist near the end of the game so would rest him too.

Handley
Briscoe, Watkins, Moon, Hall
Lilley Burrow
Lleulai, R.Ward, Garbutt
S.Ward, Keinhorst
Singleton

McGuire, Ablett, Achurch, Mulhern

Looks good enough to beat Hull (but doesn't matter too greatly if not). Burrow can take the place kicks.

Better IMO to ensure the fitness of Hardaker, Sinfield, Peacock, Cuthbertson (and McGuire) for wembley, whilst at the same time giving some valuable worthwhile blooding for the 'fringe' players.

Doubt Achurch will be allowed to play under the concussion protocols and does anyone fear Kylie might get a trip to Red Hall over 'the trip'

Actually think you might be right on both counts.....who else have we got to come in? Anyone other than Walters? Maybe Peacock and Cuthbo won't get that week off after all

He should have done, but since the precedent was set the week before, where two Warrington players did it in 30 seconds, it appears it is no longer such a bad offence, as they just got cautions.

Just in case anyone cannot make the game, it's going to be on the sky sports xtra channel.

I hope Leeds play a full strength side, we,ll be fired up for this after our last 2 meetings so it should be a good hard fought match and maybe just take enough out of you to make the wembley game more interesting
