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

14 Ali Lauitiiti
16 Ryan Bailey
17 Ian Kirke
20 Weller Hauraki

27 Zak Hardaker

Likely to be:

Webb
Hardaker, Ablett, BJB, Hall
McGuire, Burrow
Leuluai, Buderus, Peacock

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?

JJB, Clarkson
Sinfield

Leuluai, Hauraki, Pitts, Kirke

Sorry, going to have to disagree with you on this one. If you watch Webb when the opposition make a break you will notice how aware he is. Not only is he lining up his man but he directs the cover defence as to which support runners to take.

I would take Lauititi over Kirke / Pitts any day of the week. You can criticise him for being injury prone, however IMO you can't fault his commitment when he does get on the pitch. Some things may not come off for him but I'd rather have him offering the potential of something rather than Kirke offering very little. Ali has played half the game Kirke has and has made more tackle busts, more offloads and scored more tries than Kirke has. I would also guess that despite his declien over recent years, opposition teams are still more fearful of Ali than they ever have been of Kirke which helps create space for others.

I know Ablett is playing extremely well, but to expect him to play in 2 positions in the starting 13 is a bit much to ask

Your "hopefully" includes Hauraki ? and Delaney in the threequarters at the expense of Hardaker ?

If Webb's fit he plays then it's a toss up between Hardaker and Bjb with the latter shading it on the experience front and the fact it's a CC quarter final.
delaney will do a job on Yeaman on our right edge and with Ali coming on as a prop imo Hauraki could add the extra threat and tbf he did well imo last week although i would'nt mind Mcshane taking the bench spot.
CC QF no time for experiments kylie walks back in because we know he can help smash the Hull pack which he and Bailey have done well over the last 3 yrs or so.
it's a straight forward selection and maybe harsh on Hardaker and tbf i would'nt be gitted to see Zak selected ahead of Bjb but like i said i went for the one with more SL games.

Hardaker & Pitts drop out of the 19 and play in the 20s - meaning our 17 is the above?

Since when has greater experience being a better guarantee of success ? Senior ? Hauraki has far greater experience than Hardaker for example, but I know who I would have greater confidence in.

Composure and confidence are better attributes over experience. I would suggest Hardaker has oodles ... And does not deserve to be dropped.

Nah ... Make it 16 ....and girls....in short skirts instead of shorts...That will make it much more interesting to watch. Better season ticket value than our current shambles.
