U'19's are listed as playing on Saturday vs Hull so doesn't look like they'll play before.

I would like to see Keinhorst stay in but last two games McDermott has really downplayed his showings in the post match interviews whilst bigging Delaney up massive after the Hull win so I have a feeling it Cuthbertson is fit then Keinhorst will be the forward to miss out (along with Yates).

Very much depends on who you play at Loose, recently has been Ablett but wouldn't be surprised if he went with another prop their vs Saints. He did away and usually does vs Catalans.

If fit I guess Mac will start Cuthbo at 13 if not perhaps Singo. Saints have been playing LMS in the 2nd row and 3 props on the bench so we need to counter that. As I said their big guys looked tired last week so I would be inclined to try and move them around a lot in the heat. Our best kicking game is required.

Swift has been in speedy form and Handley (despite a much improved showing last week) has shown a positional weakness in defending his opposite number recently which Saints may well have noted hence I would plump for the Keinhorst/Watkins combination on our right. I agree Mac did downplay Keinhorst's recent MOM performance but that maybe done for a reason we don't know about. I am sure he is well aware of JK's contributions recently

keinhorst, for me, is to small. he struggled to make an impact at hull. he has undoubted skill, such as setting up the try, but lacks a physical presence

I'm naively hopeful someone tomorrow will have a brainwave and move it forward 18 hours to Friday night! Thanks



I think re. Keinhorst he is smaller and you lose something from bigger places, yes but for what he is and what he can provide I like him. I'd rather have a Keinhorst with less overall physical presence performing at 90% than a Delaney with more overall physical presence, but performing at 60%...

I have always regarded setting up a try (or three) as making an impact. He is big enough at centre and has not been shown up when called upon to play in the back row where his ball playing skills made up for any lack of grunt in taking the ball up in thick traffic. In the two games against Hull he scored a try and played a major part in creating 3 others not to mention 34 tackles in the first of these games.

Your spot on Tad. Two weeks ago he was very good, last week other than the brilliant hands at the end for the try, he was far too lightweight. Think people get too carried away based on the one moment of quality, and not surprised McDermot was down playing.

We will need more than one moment from all the players this week, and personally if it came down to choice, size would be the better bet for this weeks match.

Greenwood is available for them, found to have no case to answer.

I'm about there.

Enough to be intrigued by him at 2nd row but not carried away. Wouldn't mind if he makes the 17 this week, wouldn't be disappointed if he missed out if everyone fit. Shown plenty of promise for future years, should we beef him up in the off-season? Worked for Ward.

Word on the street is that McGuire and Garbutt are playing, but Cuthbertson late test.

Disgraceful, pro-Leeds institutional bias

McGuire, Garbutt and Cuthbertson are all available by the sounds of it:

The weather looks like being great, just what summer rugby was supposed to be.
Can't wait.
