I agree with Bang get it sorted now whilst we have a 4pt cushion and confidence throughout the squad also doing it now it will be much easier for a youngster to come in imo.

Is this worth a visit? Having moved to LS27 I can't make half of the 8pm away games anymore, so looking at this one to use the 'free' travel voucher for with it being on Sunday lunchtime. Has anyone been before? I am at work in Leeds at 6.30pm Sunday night so presume should be back on the coaches to HQ by about 4.30pm?

Thanks for any info / advice.

His wrist doesn't seem to trouble his big fend or grip of the ball.

But if it needs sorting, sort it. simple.

Depend if he can play in meantime. A big part of our play is the metres made by Hardaker, Briscoe, and Hall. With Briscoe still out for a long time, to take another third of that trio out might cause us bigger problems than people realise.

Losing Hall on top of losing Briscoe would be a huge blow. Handley has done well but he's no Briscoe, and having 2 wingers who are likely to lose the majority of their collusions puts an immense amount of pressure on our forwards.

We are likely to be without Chase, Hauraki, Paterson and Lee who have all been in good form recently. Josh Griffin who has been outstanding since his switch to centre, also left the stadium on crutches so is another possible absentee.

Shame both teams will have players missing, would have been good to see both teams go at it with full strength teams.

Also, just on the attendance the majority are amazed only 6.5k announced at the Wigan game. Looked more like an 8k crowd as no chance you could have fit another 5.5k inside - I would be disappointed if we didn't at least match, if not surpass this given the huge support Leeds traditionally bring over.

Of course Griffin is injured Ive just put him in my fantasy team! I swear I'm cursed.

Isn't Stevie Ward banned too, or can he wriggle out of it with an early guilty plea?

Am 3rd in the monthly, but going to need to blow a couple of transfers to take out Bateman & Josh Griffin though. They don't pay out with the prizes though as I came 2nd in Feb and they're ducking me.

Grade A charge, so can submit an EGP if he needs to and make it go away.

Unless it looks bad on the DVD, I'd be tempted to take a punt on getting away with a fine/warning and save the EGP for when you might need it. Worst case scenario is that he misses the Salford game.

Yes he can avoid a ban with an EGP.

Reckon we'll line up:

1. Hardaker
27. Handley
3. Watkins
20. Keinhorst
26. Golding
18. Sutcliffe
6. McGuire
17. Cuthbertson
9. Aiton
10. Peacock
12. Ablett
14. Ward
13. Sinfield

7. Burrow
16. Achurch
19. Singleton
22. Yates

Interesting to see Keinhorst playing in the second row for Hunslet at the weekend. Going the Liam Botham route, a mediocre back converting into a mediocre second-rower.
