Mcguire has been one of if not the best player for us this year.

So we will be most weakened out of anyone else, great.

£10 for a ticket is a bargain. I know that the RFL will be emailing me shortly now that the squad has been announced, just a shame they havent been letting me know for the last few weeks that tickets were so well priced.

Never thought about that

. We play Harlequins that weekend. Not sure if that will make any difference with a weakened squad though.

The loss of 4 players for the London trip is all that concerns me. What will we learn from this meaningless game

It will make a difference guaranteed. We will look very light without Mcguire, Sinfeild, peacock and Hall. With also possible injuries still like Lauitiiti. For a start, who would play in the halfs?

No he won't the Castleford - Catalans game has been moved to the Tuesday night!

Apologies, went by Superleague site fixtures.

'Miss Catalans Dragons'

When I read that, why did I think of you?

Yours
Curious from Lincoln.

How's Lynch not got in? Is McBanana protecting the Bulls by any chance? Can't see Widdop being allowed to travel over though.

Gareth Widdop (Storm)
Ryan Hall (Leeds)
Michael Shenton (Castleford)
Chris Bridge (Warrington)
Tom Briscoe (Hull FC)
Kyle Eastmond (St Helens)
Danny McGuire (Leeds)
James Graham (St Helens)
Kevin Sinfield (Leeds)
Jamie Peacock (Leeds)
Sam Burgess (Souths)
Gareth Ellis (Wests)
Sean O’Loughlin (Wigan)

Joel Tomkins (Wigan)
Nick Scruton (Bradford)
Adrian Morley (Warrington)
James Roby (St Helens)

That's what I would roll with.

Yes, definite conflict of interest although Scruton probably also deserves his selection.

What's the problem with Widdop being released by Melbourne? It's not as if they've got anything but pride to play for this season.

Leeds have a option to postpone the Harlequins RL game due to having 4 players chosen, wont take it though.

I should hope not either people have spent a lot of money to go see this game already

Exactly. Would be very unfair to fans, also for the planned double header.

Lynch is carrying an injury.
