Really 
I said Bradford 22-14 Leeds two weeks ago but I really feel now that with no Herbert we'll be really up against it with 10 new faces in the starting line up.
If ever there was a game where performance matters over the result it's this one. I still think it'll be close run game mind and a victory is not beyond us but I feel it's going to be too fast too soon for us.

We need ideally need Kearney at full back as the Wakefield pre-season game showed just how effective he is at this role. |

Kearney is IMO world class at FB. At stand off he is a waste. he is one of our most dangerous attacking players so FB is defo a must for him sunday. I wouldnt be confident with royston at full back in a big game at a big stage so soon. Kearney at full back. My team would be
Kearney
Ainscough
Walker
Platt
Raynor
Ah Van
Briggs
Lynch
Lestrange
Lynch
Whitehead
Elima
Langley
Bench: Diskin, Scruton, Royston, Kopzack

its a case of getting the best balance in the squad. if kearney stays at full back ( which is his strongest position) then we have to compromise the halves by bringing ah van in. Whilst he can do a job at standoff think he's much better utilised out wide at wing/. Think kearney is player in available squad who can do the best job in halves so I'd move him there. Roystons natural position is fullback so he slots in at fullback and we dont have any further disruption to squad with people out of position.
Sibbit or Sykes for bench spot is only question mark for me really.

He wouldn't make the bench for me because I prefer having the 2 props on there with a replacement hooker (who can also play in the halves) and a back (who can play anywhere in the backs).'"
cant say I really consider whitehead as a youngster anymore. For my money he's a full member of the senior squad now and should be used accordingly. |

You just laughed at playing Platt at full back then you put Ah Van into the Halves? Ah Van is not a stand off and that was clear to see when he actually played there we lost a lot of creativity! Kearney has to come into the halves to give us a little experience at least with Briggs.
Have to go with cibaman on the selection with a tough choice between platt and royston for full back!

Agreed and mat to answer your question it would be sibbit. Hes impressed all pre season. Sykes is not good enough at the moment to be included in this match

Whitehead was referenced directly as one of those who suffered from being thrown in at the deep end. He might still be rotated to help him last the season. |

I've no doubt he will be rotated at some point but I'd let him play a couple of competitive games before I started thinking about it tbh. Wouldnt leave sibbit out either though. I'd have sibbit on bench and gamble on not needing a replacement back. |

For me L'Estrange to scrum half is the least disruptive option. As has been said before, I thought Kearney in the Wakefield game at FB looked class.
Kearney
Ah Van
Platt
Walker
Ainscough/Rayner
Briggs
L'Estrange
Langley
Whitehead
Elima
Hargreaves
Diskin
Lynch
Kopczak
Scruton
Sibbit
Royston
If it doesn't workout we can still then bring on Royston to FB and move Kearney into the halves.
Sods law, an injury in one position we aren't comfortable covering elsewhere!
