Feka doesn't even make the 19 man squad now, replaced by Mcilorum.

I'm struggling to see what's supposedly so weak about that Leeds side. Bar the notable absence of Peacock they look very impressive to me.

McIlorum in for Deacon, though doubt he'll get a game this week.

Leeds have named Buderus, Sinfield and Hall in their 19. None have played for four weeks or so. They look good on paper, how they'll go on the field we shall see Friday night.

No excuses for Leeds really!
Bailey and Goulding would miss out for me.

Still a Pretty Good team, but would look even better with Donald, Watkins, Peacock, Ablett, Eastwood available.

Plus bear in Mind Hall/Delaney/Buderus/Sinfield have all missed quite a lot of Games recently so may be under cooked?

Truth is, They're still an impressive unit with 4/5 Very Good players missing However we won't get a better chance than this.

Their starting 13 looks pretty useful, but it's on the bench where we look to have a big advantage.

It's no worse than any other team have had to deal with. I have always thought leeds have been lucky with injuries.

We have had plenty of injuries over the past 3 years an some long term ones, nothing like what we have right now but the myth of no Leeds injuries is just that.

Glad you cleared that up with those well chosen facts to back up your argument!

I don't think MM will get a game this week, though I could be wrong. It's good to have him coming back with Easter almost upon us. Things don't look good for Feka at all, do they?

Goulding and McIlorum to miss out for me.

looks like were at full strength. we need to do a professional job come friday. hope we can turn them over. I am still extremely curious as to what has happened to fekka. It will be interesting to see the final 17 with everyone available for selection.

Buderus and Hall only missed last week, as did Bailey. Sinfield hasn't played since the WCC. Like one of the others said, we look okay with the first 13. Eastwood is the big dissapointment for me, he was beginning to look a real threat out wide for us, improving with each game. Albeit only 3 or 4 games but there were some good signs there.

What's happened with Feka, just not producing the goods? The couple of times I've seen him this season the weight he's lost seems to have taken away his impact?
