Garbutt expected to return this week. McGuire still a doubt but we haven't really missed him in recent weeks with Lilley playing well. Expect:

Sutcliffe
Briscoe Watkins Moon Hall
Lilley/McGuire Burrow
Galloway Segeyaro Garbutt
Ablett Ferres
JJB

Cuthbertson Singleton Delaney Keinhorst/Achurch

Except Lilley may be carrying those knocks he sustained vs Wigan

If Moon and Lilley are fit same as last week with Garbutt replacing Achurch.
If Lilley is out I would expect Sutcliffe to SO and Golding to FB.
If Moon is out Keinhorst to LC and Garbutt back in the pack retaining Achurch no doubt.
Just thinking out of the box here.
But maybe Briscoe Tom that is to replace Moon if not fit to play and keep Sutcliffe at FB with Handley on the RW
Keinhorst on the bench and Achurch back at his gym watching the game on Sky.

Fit or not, McGuire can't be selected after the 2 very good wins without him.

He's not playing well and his captaining of the team hasn't looked convincing. stays on the sidelines for me.

If Maggsy is fit he will play 100%.

We've got Hicks again as the referee.

Its a must win.

Win this and Salford lose against Dull (v.likely) and we finish 4th bottom.


(I never thought id be saying that...)

I'd save that line for Middle 8 fixtures

Not exactly must win but would be good to get the 4 home games. Also just to keep our momentum going and after their easy defeat to Hull last week it's a chance to send one of our rivals into the Midfle 8's on shaky form and not a confidence boosting win/performance.

Moon was fine at the children's day and club have confirmed that Lilley given all clear in the changing room.

19 man squad was as predicted above.

I dissagree on that point. Leeds have shown all year that they will struggle to win a must win game, and lets be honest they could be in that million pound game. This Thursday is as near as that, when both teams will be desperate for those four home games, and avoid the embarrassment of possible bottom. A win will give them the confidence they need to show they can win a game when it matters, and for me if they can not get up for Thursday then there would be a problem.

Not exactly what I meant by it's not a must win. Also to even put ourselves in with a chance of 4 home games then the Hull and Wigan games were must wins....and we did, so we have won when we needed to recently.

Lets hope Achurch does not make the 17 with Keinhorst having to drop out.
