Both Leeds and Wakefield victorious by 8 points this weekend.

Wakefield likely to be able to pick a strong team on Friday.

Any players back for Leeds?

Looks like the super 8's now for Trinity.

How do you Loiners think the game will go this week?

Hoping for a big crowd for an important match for both teams.

Wakefield likely team

Jowitt
Johnstone
Arundel/Hall
Tupou/Lyne
BJB
Miller
Finn
England
Moore
Simon
Kirmond
Ashurst
Arona

Sio
Scruton
Anderson
Fifita

This game could go three ways (well they all do TBH).

We will turn up and totally underestimate Leeds and shoot ourselves in the foot gifting them a win - a very typical Wakefield thing.

It will be yet another tight game between two teams trying to find form or in our case re-find form.

Less likely is that we will absolutely batter them. If Fifita is serious and Moore hit's the ground running showing his pre ban form we'll be way to strong for Leeds.

I'd like it to be the latter but I wouldn't bet on it.

Nothing like sitting on the fence and covering all eventualities

IMO the Wildcats will be far too good close to the Rhinos try line and will expose their poor organisation around the ruck area
Wildcats by at least 8 points

Trinity, please

True but we are not an easy club to predict, trust me.

If it's not awful conditions; making it the great leveller it is for Leeds victories these days; i forecast Wakey by plenty

Sutcliffe
Handley Watkins Moon Hall/Briscoe
McGuire Lilley

19 man squad states unchanged line up plus Lilley and Mullally, but then lists Delaney and no Cuthbertson.

Cuthbertson was named in the 19

Is this the strongest side you've had put this year?

no

No he wasn't. That's why rival took him out of their fantasy team for Junior Moors.

Yes he was named in 19 go on rhinos Facebook or YouTube.

So what now? Is Cuthbertson injured again, is McDermott playing silly beggars with this 19 man squad, or is it an admin error that shouldn't have listed Delaney. Somebody stated a week or so ago that for a player in your 25 man squad to play, they have to be named in the 19 man squads, but that must be rubbish.

Is watkins playing? Had his wedding on Saturday

If he plays a blinder maybe we can put his bad form down to some pre wedding nervousness

Probably an admin error. The other week vs Catalans they announced the team lineup before kickoff with Burrow at hooker and no Falloon.....several minutes later they edited it to Falloon starting and no Burrow.

Looks like Hardaker playing tonight.

Great. He'll probably have the game of his life now.

What a strange line up. Sutcliffe at FB, Hardaker on the wing, hall on the bench

nothing should surprise you with our coach

I guess people coming back from injury still aren't 100%

I guess people will still continue to make excuses for our coach right up to the MPG and life in the championship

Not that strange. Looks like Sutcliffe is the new full back. Hardaker is jacking so stick him on the wing. The strangest selection is JJB at 2nd row. Could be a sitting duck on the edge

BMcD taking a leaf out of Roy Hodgson's book and leaving his best players on the bench.
