[quote="Khlav Kalash":f5gapivv]Trueman, Jowitt or Johnston is my guess.[/quote:f5gapivv] Hope it is just a wind up but if it is Trueman or Johnston ,and it turns out to be 8 week Question have got to be asked ,you buy marquee players to play ever week and win matches not to be out for a 3rd of a season . They both were a gamble with there injury record. .If it is Max and is shoulder and is the same injury that he got at end of last season .,why was it not put right in close season .As said could just be a wind up as Powell said after Cup game it was a good work out .for the team and just a few small knocks

Heard its Rodwell, but hope I'm wrong

[quote="Eastern Wildcat":gnqx9nnf]Heard its Rodwell, but hope I'm wrong[/quote:gnqx9nnf] I feel if it is rodwell we would cope a lot better than if it was Max or Truman. Time for big Isaac to step up and earn his stripes, I think he’s been decent in preseason also.

[quote="Eastern Wildcat":3km3w8v9]Heard its Rodwell, but hope I'm wrong[/quote:3km3w8v9] He’s looking in awesome shape so that would be a blow. If Atoni or Vagana is back though we can cope but that’s a big engine.

[quote="Trojan Horse":21e1v1fq]He’s looking in awesome shape so that would be a blow. If Atoni or Vagana is back though we can cope but that’s a big engine.[/quote:21e1v1fq] It is, and we can certainly do with them back. Would be good to have an injury free run from now

also heard Rodwell, but heard it was only a knock and not out for too long

[quote="upthetrin92":1dv6ulvk]also heard Rodwell, but heard it was only a knock and not out for too long[/quote:1dv6ulvk] Let’s hope, injury is part of the game but I’m quite confident as the players fighting for a shirt have a lot to offer too. It’s an opportunity for them to shine.

Possibly had a relapse of shoulder.

Don't know who you thought was missing god. That team looks fine to me apart from Cam, Seth and Renouf which we already knew.

[quote="PopTart":3bmpylhz]Don't know who you thought was missing god. That team looks fine to me apart from Cam, Seth and Renouf which we already knew.[/quote:3bmpylhz] It’s a 21 man squad. Be interesting to see who starts the 17.

[quote="Trojan Horse":36d9oqmf]Unless it’s Doyle who was full time training and fit last week. Possibly had a relapse of shoulder.[/quote:36d9oqmf] I was speaking to Tommy last week at the gym. I’m sure he said he wouldn’t be back for a couple of week.

[quote="PopTart":1xqxvx3y]Don't know who you thought was missing god. That team looks fine to me apart from Cam, Seth and Renouf which we already knew.[/quote:1xqxvx3y] Whoever it is is included in the 21, been told this morning, I assume Max but not 100%

If it is Max, I understand why he’s listed in the 21 as he’s pivotal in our spine and a lot more difficult to prepare for than a front rower. We will find out sure enough come Saturday. We have Rourke who is a very capable replacement

Would like to see: Jowitt Walmsley Pratt Hall Johnstone Trueman Lino McMeeken Hood Rodwell Storton Vagana Pitts Doyle Uele Atoni Croft If it is Max, then straight swap for Rourke. If Rodwell, then move Atoni to start and put Faatili on the bench. I’d still be confident with either of those changes.

Atoni isn't in the squad, still not fully fit

Powell mentions in his pre match presser with JD from bbc radio leeds, that Rodwell has trained today, after being asked about him potentially being out....

If we were light in the pack it would be odd to leave out Shaw.

[quote="PopTart":pt44zl96]Don't know who you thought was missing god. That team looks fine to me apart from Cam, Seth and Renouf which we already knew.[/quote:pt44zl96] I really do hope Im wrong! guess we will after wait till saturday.

How come? For me seems a shoot out between Shaw and Faatili, and I’d rather see Faatili spell. Also think Croft can spell with Vagana if needed (just returning from injury and tired easily last year), and cover if we need to reshuffle our back line. With Atoni out, I’d like to see: Jowitt Walmsley Pratt Hall Johnstone Trueman Lino McMeeken Hood Rodwell Storton Vagana Pitts Doyle (Russell if not fit) Uele Faatili Croft

Doesn't matter now. We go with what we have. I'd rather have 17 fit players than risk anyone.

Leeds are at full strength apart from Sivo. It's just a case of whether they play the new centre with Handley on the wing or play tge kid on the wing.
