I think we will see a similar side to Fridays. I would expect to see sinfield at FE. Would prefer him at 13 but don't think it will happen

Glad to see Bailey being preferred to Leuluai as the starting option. On the evidence of this season (limited in Leuluai's case from the bench) it's appeared the right approach for both players.

It will be interesting to see if Coach McDermott sees it that way.

Delaney, the centre who was signed as a centre who can't play as a centre or doesn't want to play as a centre, who's strengths lie in the second row more effectively?

Stick him at centre. Await the glory.

He could be perfectly capable, but I agree that a cup quater final, away from home is not the place to find out. I'm sure he won't play there.

assuming all fit

1. Webb
27. Hardaker
3. Delaney
5. Hall
23. Jones-Bishop
6. McGuire
7. Burrow
16. Bailey
9. Buderus
10. Peacock
11. Jones-Buchanan
12. Ablett
13. Sinfield

8. Leuluai
17. Kirke
20. Hauraki
24. McShane

As our 19 man squad hasn't been released yet

I can't imagine that we would make too many changes to last weeks side TBH if all are fit for selection, I would definitely keep both Delaney and Ablett in the centre's for this week rather than throw Watkins in at the deep end, surely we can't move too many players about and into different positions can we for this game?

IMO this is our most realistic chance of silverware this season, so If everyone's fit then i think we will go with:

FB: Webb <if not then BJB>
W: BJB <if Webb out, then Hardaker>
C: Delaney
C: Ablett
W: Hall
SO: Sinfield
SH: McGuire
P: Bailey
H: Buderus
P: Peacock
SR: Buchanan
SR: Hauraki
LF: Clarkson
R: Burrow
R: Lauitiiti
R: Kirke
R: Leuluai

Hopefully we'll go with...
Webb
Bjb
Watkins
Delaney
Hall
Mcguire
Burrow
peacock
Buderus
Bailey
Jjb
Ablett
Sinfield

kylie
Hauraki/Mcshane
Clarkson
Ali

I like the above team by rhinoms and usually I would like to see hauraki dropped but I thought he had a good game Friday and probably deserves his spot

Smith and McShane drop out of the 19.
Webb and Leuluai return
1 Brent Webb
3 Brett Delaney
5 Ryan Hall
6 Danny McGuire
7 Rob Burrow
8 Kylie Leuluai
9 Danny Buderus
10 Jamie Peacock
11 Jamie Jones Buchanan
12 Carl Ablett
13 Kevin Sinfield
14 Ali Lauitiiti
16 Ryan Bailey
17 Ian Kirke
20 Weller Hauraki
21 Chris Clarkson
22 Jay Pitts
23 Ben Jones-Bishop
27 Zak Hardaker

Likely to be:

Webb
Hardaker, Ablett, BJB, Hall
McGuire, Burrow
Leuluai, Buderus, Peacock
JJB, Delaney
Sinfield

Bailey, Kirke, Clarkson, Hauraki

Would like:

BJB
Hardaker, Delaney, Ablett, Hall
Webb, Burrow
Bailey, Buderus, Peacock
JJB, Clarkson
Sinfield

Leuluai, Hauraki, Ali, McGuire

Why would anyone put BJB in at centre?

I would prefer:

BJB
Hardaker, Delaney, Ablett, Hall
McGuire, Burrow
Bailey, Buderus, Peacock
JJB, Clarkson
Sinfield

Leuluai, Hauraki, Pitts, Kirke

I can't understand why anyone would want to leave Webb out when he has arguably been our most creative player this year. According to the Opta stats he has 5 tries and 15 assists this year from 18 games. This compares to Sinfield (1 try and 17 assists from 22 games), Burrow (6 tries and 3 assists from 21 games), McGuire (4 tries and 3 assists from 9 games).

For me:

Webb
BJB, Delaney, Ablett, Hall
Sinfield, Burrow
Bailey, Buderus, Peacock
JJB, Clarkson,
Ablett

Leuleuai, Lauititi, Kirke, McGuire - although I wouldn't be too disapponinted to see Pitts for Kirke
