3 Kallum Watkins
4 Joel Moon
5 Ryan Hall
6 Danny McGuire
7 Rob Burrow
8 Kylie Leuluai
9 Paul Aiton
10 Jamie Peacock

14 Stevie Ward
15 Brett Delaney
16 Ryan Bailey
18 Chris Clarkson
20 Tom Briscoe
21 Liam Sutcliffe
23 Brad Singleton

Both squads relatively close to full strength, which is nice to see. I assume the bookies will give us a start, but we should give them a good game at least I reckon/hope.

Assuming everyone is fit I would guess.
1-Eden, 2-Cockayne, 3-Salter,4-Welham, 5-Hodgson, 6-Burns, 7-Keating, 8-Walker(J), 9-Hodgson, 10-Weyman, 11-Larroyer, 12-Poore, 13-Langley, 14-Walker(A), 15-Costigan, 16-Carlile, 17-Green.

So, by my reckoning looks like were going to with:

Eden
Cockayne
Welham
Hall
Hodgeson
Burns
Keating
Weyman
Hodgeson
Poore
Larroyer
Costigan
Langley

Subs:
A Walker
J Walker
Green
Carlile

With Horne and Salter missing out.

That's the only real decision to make with that squad for me, no Hall, who kicks?

Burns, but is he up to it? I don't think he is.

Disco Dave kicked for Salford.

I think Horne will be on the bench ahead of one of the props.

If Burns is fit and we want to play Hall for his goal-kicking (and tbf, attacking threat), I can see Salter missing out. Which would be tough on him, but I'm sure Cox, Lovegrove and a couple of others will be disappointed.

His goal kicking will put him into the centre spot.

Typo?

I can't see Horne playing.
If you were looking at having a SR on the Bench you would pick Cox surely?

Why not put him in the 19 in that case though?

I think Horne is greatly underestimated. Lovegrove and Cox do more eye-catching stuff, but Horne works really hard and if injury strikes in the backs, he can do a fill-in job at centre at a pinch.

Good to see Green in the squad. Think he'll have a big year, and become a first team regular this season.

No I was looking at the squad and taking into account that Langley will no doubt play 13 and that if you were going to put another SR on the pitch you would pick Cox over Horne IMHO then its a case of Costigan starts or you carry 3 props at the start.
I couldn't see Costigan starting so I stuck a prop in SR.

I also think with that squad CS is looking to mince Leeds down the middle. Starting with Weyman, Walker, Poore, Larroyer and Langley will do that IMHO.

It's a strange one but my thinking is that Horne gives you more options 'pre-game' but on game day you play your best 17, Now I see that Horne works hard but that 19 has 'mince em down the middle' written all over it and Horne doesn't fit into that picture.
