Can't remember the last time delaney played and he didn't look like he was on one leg.

But he always puts up his hand to play and McDermott respects that more than anything - apart from Peacock's insistence in defiantlly staying on the field even when blowing out of his arris.

not sure he will. Mcdermott said at the start of the season that he learned lessons from lay season, and the squad has been better rotated this season, though sometimes to the detriment of the late position

Pointless game against Hull.

May as well play the fringes, re-group, have one last big push in the playoffs.

Thought we wanted to go into this game with some sort of momentum?
Either way I suppose the coach is going to cop sopme flak.
I would rest the likes of Sinfield, JP, Aiton and Delaney and possibly Watkins who is either playing with an injury or can`t be ar$ed.

Momentum vs fatigue is a good angle. We have no momentum, so a morale boosting win against Hull, with a few tries could be what the doctor ordered. Or we could lose a couple injured and mess oursleves up. Who knows?

A win over Hull FC isn't big news, so cant see morale being boosted much either way.

Leeds in a way have a week off, their Playoff Plan starts now.

We got battered away to Hudds on the last day of 2012 when we had a pretty much as full strength team as we had available to us at the time, and we confidently beat Wigan on the last day of 2013 so I don't really buy the need for momentum.....we didn't have it going into the CC semi and Final.

Simple, if anyone is carrying an issue don't play them. Can't see Burrow or McGuire being brought back in. If we rest a load of starters and lose, the club will only be accused of short changing the fans who travelled to "watch that s**t"

As long as the club state the position - fans can then make their own mind up as to what to do.

Well they did name the 19 for London with all those key names missing.....obviously the problem with that one is that people plan and book for that away game well in advance. Friday night in Hull isn't exactly the same as a weekend away in London.

People should be able to tell on Wednesday whether they think the line-up will be worth travelling to see.

I hope they give Lilley a go this week. Playing really well in under 19's, and for me a better long term option than Sutcliffe.

But I guess play offs for under 19's start on Saturday also, and they may actually not want to play those players in first team Friday night.

True, I'd forgotten about that last point. Should then in the circumstances not expect to see the likes of Walters, Mulhern, R.Ward, Handley etc. to be named for the first team.
