Ablett's back and the only way Hardaker will keep his place is if Delaney gets moved back to the pack and he goes to the right. This would mean either dropping Hauraki or Lauitiiti though who are both in very good form at the moment. Hardaker is good, but defensively as a centre, he is not yet up to scratch. Ablett and Delaney are the safer choices against you lot.
Agree with that, he was very good at Hudds. Delaney in the pack with Ablett in at centre. Either Lauitiiti or Hauraki to miss out I would have thought.

No room for sentiment in SL, even more so at this stage of the season. Hardaker has done a job very well for Leeds, same as Riley has for Warrington but I suspect they may both be sat in the stands tomorrow.
Having said that I wouldn't be surprised if Benny Westwood misses out tomorrow. TS does make mistakes, one of his all time biggest being playing an unfit Senior in a cup final (v Hull). He's always struck me as the type of guy who learns from his mistakes.

Good Luck and all the best, we can't win it so hope you guys do

Correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't Grix played at hooker before? I'm not saying we should have him as the bench option but with some people naming a team with no hooker on the bench surely Grix is an option. I don't think I'd leave Riley out, he's been on cracking form and really does add some extra pace on the wing, not that Joel's a slouch but Riley's very, very quick.

Also I think our backline will shape up to suit how TS wants to play them. You have 2 very different wingers in Hall & Jones Bishop. Do you go to match them with similar players (Joel & Riley) to nutralise them or do you go the opposite way so their weaknesses can be exploited ? Grix is better to deal with Clarkson than Bridge.
Hardaker, Hall, Jones B & Delaney are all dangerous so I'd see Riley missing out for a place in the outside backs as we'd need a stronger defensive left edge than Myler/Atkins/Riley.
On the plus side I can see us targetting their 2nd row like we did against hudds and having a lot of success through Benny.
