Friday we play Hull FC, without Briscoe, Moon, Hall, Cuthbertson, Ward, Keinhorst, Achurch, Walters, Ferres. Delaney has an outside chance but it doesn't sound too likely he will play.

Hardaker
Handley Watkins Sutcliffe Golding
McGuire Lilley
Garbutt Falloon Galloway
Ablett JJB
Singleton

Burrow Baldwinson Mullally Hallas/Smith/Delaney

So it's looking like:

Briscoe - 8 weeks
Moon - 2/3 weeks
Hall - 4 weeks
Cuthbertson - 1/2 weeks
Ward - 12 weeks
Delaney - 1/2 weeks
Keinhorst - 3/4 weeks
Achurch - in a boot (4 weeks estimated)
Walters - 4 weeks
Ferres - 3 weeks

Time to cut your losses on Briscoe.

He's like Jonny Lomax at saints. Constantly injured so it means that you are effectively operating on a lower salary cap than other super league clubs.

Cuthbertson and Moon have A CHANCE for next week. So does Delaney but with him that has to be taken with a pinch of salt.

Thanks for your great insight. Time you stuck your head into another pie and dealt with something of greater intelligence.

FWIW, McDermott said in his post game interview that Delaney was the only one even slightly likelt to be back next week.

Burrow will start again, Falloon will start again.... Yawn

McDermott stated that Moon a few weeks and cuthbertson has a torn bicep so a few weeks. Only Delaney has a chance to return on Friday.

He will play Cuthbertson and Delaney regardless. He is a desperate man.

I would agree - he will play players that should not be playing because the next three games decide the season lose all three and the top 8 is out reach and with it his job.

We are planning now for the middle eights and a run in the Challenge Cup.
Retaining the cup at Wembley will save the season and cover some enormous cracks that really need addressing.

They need a lucky draw - an away game at either Wigan or Warrington and the season is over

We need a few lucky draws to be honest, being paired with any SL team home or away will be a mountain to climb on current performances. Can you get to Wembley without facing SL opposition?

Unlikely - probably get to the semi - Wigan seem to be to do that

We are pretty good on the injury front. Against Hudds we were without Ellis, Minichiello, Pryce, Washbrook and Tuimavave. I've not heard any news yet but I would expect a couple of those to return.

We still aren't firing on all cylinders yet. We have spells were we drift out of games, and then we flick a switch and are unstoppable for 20 minutes. Shaul is tearing it up, the pack are making yards for fun and Sneyd is starting to show why we forked out to get him here. Everything points to a Hull win, and yet I just cant allow myself to be confident. Its only a matter of time before you start to click.

Leeds are yet to even clunk in 2016 let alone click.
