If i've read it right
Galloway,Ferres -Injured.
Moon ,Segeyaro Hall Watkins & Ward are all missing due to extended breaks/International call ups.
That should give us a reasonable squad for Boxing day looking something like..
Golding
Handley
Keinhorst
Suttcliffe
Briscoe
Mags
Lilley
Cuthbo
Burrow/Hallas
Garbutt
Ablett
Delaney
Jjb
Subs-Oledski Smith Jjr Singleton Aston Hallas/Burrow Bsldwinson Ormanroyd.

JJB is banned for two friendlies so he won't be playing boxing day. Don't think Burrow will be available think he was ruled out for 3 month with his injury wasn't he.

Golding
Briscoe Keinhorst Sutcliffe Handley
Mcguire Lilley

Baldwinson Ormondroyd Smith Aston JJR Oledzki

Watkins moon hall burrow Galloway segeyaro jjb ferres missing to my knowledge. But once new away shirts are released Friday the next money making focus will be rolled out with (strongest boxing day squad ever) to represent the south stands last ever boxing day game!

who cares?

People who arnt so frigging negative all the time?

Careful now. Sal is a bigger Leeds fan than 90% of the lazy good for nothings who use this forum.

He should try enjoying it once in a while.

He turns up because he's a bigger fan....or because he doesn't have any other plans or priorities on a Friday night.

I've no idea, ask Gotcha. It was him who said it this morning.


Probably the latter though if I had to guess.

omg sal?


for someone who spends as long on here as you do sal and someone who likes to voice his opinion,id say that you do care

perhaps you could do with an off season to reinvigorate your enthusiasm

Meaningless friendly - do I care who plays - no I don't, will I attend the game no I wont

Maybe it wouldn't fit thru the turnstile? Bit like the fat lass at Cas a few years back.

Anyway, Boxing Day....

I'll be there this year, regardless of who's fit or who's on holiday.
My first BD game in a few years and the first step to hopefully getting into the top 10% of Leeds fans next season.

Given how dreadful the 2016 season was, the pre-season friendly phase of the RL year could actually matter a lot more this time around than it has for Leeds in the recent past.

In previous years the impression one gets is that these games are largely for the commercial well-being of the club, with most front-line players needing time off due to extended campaigns in the Challenge Cup, Play-Offs, internationals and sometimes WCC preparations. We've had the luxury of a lot of continuity in good form and playing staff in key positions. All this is gone now. The first team needs to hit the ground running this year, so there is more impetus to do more than give youngsters/fringe signings a run out and let regulars blow-off a few cobwebs... It will be interesting to see if the club take the friendlies a bit more seriously.

Look I know we are in the off season, but can you stop ruining every thread with pointless spatting?

You can private message each other you know...

Also, heads up, if you don't want want to talk about a topic, or don't care, you don't have to post on that thread

Hear hear!!
It is so tedious that every thread disintegrates into a boring & useless"you said, I said" slanging match between a small number of posters.
No wonder so many regulars have given up on this forum.
I am sorely tempted to join them.
Debate & disagreement is fine but not the sort of tosh we've been reading above.
Give us all a break.

My dad's harder than all of yours.

Kinky.

not as bad as the Hull Muppets that turn nearly every thread on the VT into a fish fight

Golding
Briscoe
Ablett
Keinhorst
Handley
Sutcliffe
Aston
Singleton
Lilley
Garbutt
Jordan-Roberts
Delaney
Cuthbertson

Subs
Hallas
Mullalley
Walters
Ormondroyd
Baldwinson
Cameron Smith

So Lilley may be plan B.

Not a bad squad but I think we fielded a similar squad last year if not stronger and our performance was poor, i hope Jordan Lilley isn't plan B he should be allowed to progress to be a half back which is his position. Hopefully we have a good game on boxing day though and start as we mean too go on.

I doubt it. Probably Wanting to give the likes of Aston a game and get them all on the field, this allows that to happen.
