Which player?

Why should he tell you?

Look my POV about Eastwood is quite clear.

I don't have an agenda etc, I have just made a decision based on his Leeds career to date.

But I'll go on record here,

I have never booed him or never will. The TEAM will always get my support.

It's pure dissapointment.

When he plays well I call it and when he has a turkey the same goes. Simple.

So out of the squad announced he is the least deserving of a spot IMO. But on the other hand fortune will favour him.

IF Eastwood scores the winning try and will go as crazy as the next Loiner beacuse Leeds will have won. Simple.

I just hope he gets his head down and puts in a shift. A few have requested he keeps the fancy stuff low key. But I would encourage him to look for it, if its on and make sure his execution is spot on. We shouldn't curb our natural game.

Come on Leeds!!!!!!!

How can Ali be left out for this one? Only thing I can think of is Leeds must be looking to rip the ruck apart, ala Semi final style. We cannot be planning on having an expansive attacking style if Ali has been left out. On his day he is lethal when running out wide. Leeds msu be looking for Ablett and Clarkson to be hitting the inside lines.

Because I'm nosey

Like you I think Diskin has looked much sharper since his return ...and now I would find it harder to leave him out than Donald ( I concede Smith has earned his right wing spot - where he always looks most comfortable ).
The first 16 are nailed on (inc Clarkson to start and Ablett on the bench) and it's only the choice for 17th between Diskin and Kirke that is the difficulty. I still believe Kirke is the better option as we are 'light' in the forwards. Buderus can easily be spelled by Sinfield/Burrow.

If what I read elsewhere is true and Ali is def not playing (a big blow for our expansive game) then it looks like it will only be Scotty that misses out.

I hope Eastwood plays like we know he can and does the team proud. Another nice off load for another McGuire 'special' to win the game would be the proverbial icing on the cake.

Cant really say(man of steel 07)as got Told that if it came out that the player was giving out team selections then his name would be mud.But im not a troll nor up for making things up.The last post i put on here about a player selection/activity was a couple of years ago when i heard a few weeks before it was announced that Brent Webb had signed for 3 more years,that info came from his next door neighbour.Lets just say the player concerned Is playing tomorrow and was abit relived to hear that ali was dropped..but i stress not in a vindictive way just a bit of self presavation.

Well you've just narrowed it down to one of the back rowers in that case, well done

Kirke, Clarkson or Ablett?

If it's a player who was relieved from a "self preservation" point of view then that's how I would read it.

that was the point of the post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i dont sit all day wondering how to make up rumours,but as i said not allowed to say exactly who it is..Knowing my luck Ali plays ,the source doesnt and i look a right idiot...Its not the first time that the team has been changed the day /morning of a big game recently

There is another backrower who lives around Burley.

This new "rumour" cant be true about Peacock can it?!

Gawd no

my exact thoughts mate

It's Keef all over again.

Really??

We hope not mate.

Wonder if Leeds have been a little mischievious with the diagnosis of a certain players injury........or knock?????

Will be interesting come 2.30pm but would of thought he would be in the 19 if he had a chance unless its to catch Smith out.

If the injury is what they said it is then definitely not. If it isn't, who knows.....

But it's probably BS.

Wire announce their team

Rhinos....well *tick tock*

This thing about JP really is laughable.The lad's lucky he'll ever play again,never mind tomorrow.
