Burrow won't be omitted from the bench (IMO good). As others have stated I suspect it will be (rightly or wrongly) Singleton that is left out. JJB def won't be. Nor Delaney. Maybe Garbutt....but yes probably Singleton.

1. Hardaker
2. Briscoe
3. Watkins
4. Moon
5. Hall
13. Sinfield
6. McGuire
8. Leuluai
9. Aiton
10. Peacock
12. Ablett
20. Keinhorst
19. Singleton

7. Burrow
15. Delaney
17. Cuthbertson
30. Garbutt

You really are 'worlds apart' if you think Keinhorst will get selected ahead of JJB (and Ward)

I think and hope we go with
1. Hardaker
2. Briscoe
3. Watkins
4. Moon
5. Hall
13. Sinfield
6. Mcguire
8. Lealuai
9. Aiton
10. Peacock
14. Ward
12. Ablett
17. Cuthbertson

Subs
7. Burrow
11. JJB
19. Singleton
30. Garbutt

what about keinhorst for the squad. has done well recently and gives cover for the backs and forwards. Some big decisions for mc. but the squad certainly looks strong.

if everyones fit keinhorst doesn't get close to the 17

Got to be:

Kylie, Aiton, JP
Ablett, Delaney
Cuthbertson

Garbutt, Singleton, Burrow, JJB/Ward

No point in having Ward and JJB on the bench. We need Burrow on there with two props. Its vital against Saints that the props are incontrol for the full 80 and playing all 5 with Cuthbertson at loose would do that.

theres no way he's leaving delaney out of the 17

Must be

1. Hardaker
2. Briscoe
3. Watkins
4. Moon
5. Hall
13. Sinfield
6. Mcguire
8. Lealuai
9. Aiton
10. Peacock
15. Delaney
12. Ablett
17. Cuthbertson

Subs
7. Burrow
11. JJB
19. Singleton
30. Garbutt

Making sure Ward is fully fit and available for the Super 8s

I'm a big fan of Keinhorst but pairing him with Burrow against Catalans did them both no favours for Friday. Missed tackles galore

It has to be this. When Ward is fit Delaney to the bench and JJB with the kicking tee.

Formidable looking team that, we're really up against it again - particularly on the edges where leeds have made us look very silly at times this year.

I expect Saints will go:

Quinlan
Dawson
Percival
Turner
Swift
Burns
Walsh
Amor
Roby
Walmsley
Vea
Greenwood
LMS

Masoe
Thompson
Jones
Savelio

Fingers crossed Turner continues his obsession with flying up out of the defensive line, although he doesn't have Liam Sutcliffe around to embarrass him this time at least.

We haven't played against Quinlan yet have we? From our point of view, defensively, he is the most dangerous player Saints have IMO. I hope we wrap him up.

[iJJB did ok on his return and needs the game time. In a knock out semi final it would be a bigger risk to play Ward instead of JJB for this game. If we have a back rower with any injury niggle then play Ward but otherwise bring him back for the super 8s. You have a short memory Sal. Burrow still offers more positives for this game as he demonstrated recently when he provided the magic to save us a point against Wigan until Aiton stupidly gave it away again[/i

Still sticking by this Sal... or did Burrow's great impact in this game finally convince you he can still produce the goods against the best?
