Austin`s not named in the squad. Is it my imagination but when we had McGuire/Burrow at HB I don`t recall them missing as many games as our current hb pairings.

McGuire missed plenty
Burrow not as many as he was tough as they come, as is shown with his current plight.
I think when Burrow and McGuire got injured, it was normally 10-12 week injuries. From memory, they didn't have many niggles that ruled them out for a short period.

Must be me as I don`t recall them missing many apart from the really serious injuries as the previous poster has said. Austin/Sezer seem to miss more with the odd niggle type injury.

I remember him getting a serious leg/knee injury when Phil Clake said it was the work of the rugby gods that resulted in McGuire’s injury as he had committed some form of foul play (I think pulling a player back off the ball). I can’t recall many other injuries from McGuire, I’m sure he had more injuries but as he played in over 400 games for us he must have been available most of the time.
This one should be a good game that can go either way, if we can pick up back to back wins against Wigan and Catalans I’ll confident say we’ll make the playoffs, and from the playoffs we’ve seen before anything can happen.
No decent radio coverage of the game. BBC Radio Humberside send Richard Stead over to Toulouse and Perpignan to cover Hull and KR games, nothing from Leeds though as ever.
