It's gonna be fun when Jon Wilkin and Ryan Bailey meet up!!!

If Leeds got knocked out by Hull or Huddersfield in the play-offs, do you think half of those players... Bailey, Ablett & BJB, would have been selected?



In fairness, I selected 6 when asked last week - Sinfield, Peacock, Burrow, Hall, JJB & Clarkson.

4 weeks ago, I selected 3 - Sinfield, Peacock & Hall

JJB and Clarkson in through injuries & Tomkins off to union. Burrow on form.

The kiwis have a ruck of injuries



A total of 12 players have been ruled out of consideration due to injury - Josh Hoffman (Brisbane), Lance Hohaia (Warriors), Sam Rapira (Warriors), Matt Duffie (Melbourne), Sam Perrett (Sydney Roosters), Shaun Kenny-Dowall (Sydney Roosters), Frank-Paul Nuuausala (Sydney Roosters), Greg Eastwood (Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs) and Bronson Harrison (Canberra) plus Vatuvei, Matai and Johnson. In addition, Bulldogs second rower Frank Pritchard was unavailable after committing himself to Toa Samoa and now Inu has withdrawn.

Can somebody post the squad. Blocked in work that link.

Maybe we're all being a little myopic here, about our own pllayers.

Let's face it, Atkins came up well short 12 months ago. Despite his excellent season for us this year, last year's letdown will have gone against him

Myler, not good enough yet, v Aussies/Kiwis. Maybe in a year or so's time.



As for some of the others, Ablett...RL's equivalent of Blackpool Rock, he's got 'AVERAGE' running right the way through him.

Bailey. Is this some kind of joke. The Aussies will pinpoint him, not for just being poor, but for his notorious short fuse. An accident waiting to happen.

Sinfield. His decent games of Test rugby can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Great SL player though.

McIlorum. This IS a joke, right?

Congratulations McBanana. You've now just elevated yourself to the position of Britains Top Funnyman. More jokes in an hour than TimVine, and making us laugh for more time than the duration of a Ken Dodd gig. DIRE. Last one out, turn the lights off.



At least Atkins will now have a full pre-season to prepare for next year

I guess Roby is doing the full 80 then. Using a squad place for water carrier is a bit daft.

I thought Wilkin was due to have ankle surgery?

Lefty, from a Wire point of view, only Atkins I think has been unfairly left out. IMO Myler & Harrison have not been good enough in their respective positions for a jersey this time round.

Atkins not even named in Knights squad? seems strange.

So with that I'd go;



Tomkins



Hall

Reed

Yeaman

Briscoe



Chase

Lomax



Graham

Roby

Peacock



Ellis

Westwood

Sinfield



Subs

Morley

Carvell

Heighington

Widdop

As much as i've said Atkins isn't good enough for England, he's a heck of a lot better than Carl Ablett!



I also don't understand how Ryan Bailey is in, aside from him being a complete tool, he's a very average player. I'd have had Mossop in ahead of him every time.
