With the week off I'd hope McGuire, Ablett and Kirke will be fit so I'd go:

1. Webb
2. Donald
3. Smith
4. Senior
5. Hall
6. McGuire
7. Burrow
8. Leulaui
14. Diskin
10. Peacock
11. JJB
12. Lauitiiti
13. Sinfield

16. Bailey
17. Kirke
18. Ablett
19. Burgess

im not that fussed...

swap ablett for Ali !! Ali is more of a threat coming off the bench for me !! His impact of the bench can really hurt teams when they start to fade

I usually think that but as Ablett was injured I wouldn't throw him in from the start.

If he's not 100% he shouldn't play!! If he plays he starts IMO

I agree,his upturn in form and consistency has been great.
I still reckon this will be a very hard match and other than ourselves saints are a team i'd never write off!!

bang on!!

I think it'll be very close tbh.

Not as close as yesterday at Goodison?



Depends if a week off (finally, we got one!) has given Saints a chance to rest....we really looked shattered at that Hudds game and badly needed some feet rested.

Hopefully we're fresh and it should be a cracker to decide who goes into the end of season party as the top dogs

Don't forget that the team will be doing their walkabout after the final whistle as it is the last regular round home game this year.

Poke in the eye given him blurred vision at the Celtic game, thats why he didnt come back on in the second half.

Course not, you get to see Jen

He sees her everynight on a picture he secretly took

Thought the game would be all-ticket because of the importance of the game itself.
Havent heard out about ticket sales or anything tbh.

Anyone else know?

Can’t see any game at Headingley been a sell out for a very long time unfortunately!

If we beat saints on friday, and suceed againts Salford away on the week afterwards.. when will we be given the hub cap. Would it be first round of the play offs or do you think that they will give it too us at Salford?

Couldnt they give it to us at the game against Saints if we beat them by say 20 points - couldnt they give us it then with the points difference being about 71 above, and being 2 points clear.

It won't be awarded whilst it's mathematically possible for more than 1 outcome.

So what about Salford, do you think they'd hand it too us at The Willows, or the next home game n the Play offs?

I'd hope they wouldnt award it (if won) at the home play-off. the team's focus needs to be totally on that game!

IMO I would like them to give it too us (if won) at Salford, because the players will need to be focused for the play off match in hand, and not picking up a shield at the end of a play off game.

IIRR, They were in a helicopter in the middle of Leeds and St Helens with the shield in their waiting to know who won it. Then flying to the place were the winners were. Salford much closer.

I do think they will give it too us at Salford.

Exactly. And if they were to be awarded it at the play-off, theres a chance the presentation might happen before the game, and if that doesnt take the focus off the job in hand, i don't know what would...

present it, if won, at salford, that way it stays with the regular season where it belongs. Cos at the end of the day its nice to win, but come play-off time, pretty unimportant IMO

IF it happens it will be at our first home games in the play-offs which IMO creates a strange atmosphere in that if its presented before the game (which I think might have happened with Saints before one of our Q play of games the last 2 seasons??) there's a danger of it being a hinderence to the players taking their minds off the job in hand and if its after the game you run the risk of a false/deflated celebtation following a loss.A kind of no win situation for me

I thought we'd blown it with the 5 on 2.

Hense why I think it would be right to present this at Salford, after the final regular game of the season.

Man United got the Premier League title given to them at Wigan the other year, so why is this any different? (well yeah, they dont have a play off series to go through).
