I guess big doubts with Delaney who perhaps is named in the squad to give him a few days more to get fit because he is such an important member of the pack especially as we have lost JJB. If he makes it then Walters and Achurch to drop out. We need Keinhorst as backs cover and he could also do a job at 9.

hopefully we play well enough to mean Silverwoods not a factor but he could be the difference as usual

not sure keinhorst could play 9. sure sinfield could though with keinhorst left centre and moon moving to 6. I thought Robbie ward may have got a run out. if Delaney is fit i'd play him then rest him next week

why are people obsessed with silverwood? he missed a slight knock on last game. big deal. we've won lots of big games with him reffing before. if we play well it won't matter who is reffing

Too much upheaval to re jig our smooth running backs. Too big a game to risk RWard. Keinhorst has a good rugby brain and good hands so if Burrow were injured he could cover at 9. Sinfield usually swops with Burrow at different times in a game to add variety to the attack.

I like the idea, but I just don't think Keinhorst is hard enough to play at hooker. McIlorum would rip us open like a tin of sardines.

I imagine they've not included Robbie Ward as they see it as too much of a risk vs this opposition.....which would kind of rule out making a risky move like Keinhorst at 9 very unlikely IMO.

It'll be Burrow at 9 for 80 minutes. If Burrow needs to go off for injury then Sinfield to hooker with Moon to 6 with Ablett (or Keinhorst if on the bench) to left centre.

yes the ideas sound enough but I just can't see him at 9. think burrow will play most, if not all game, and sinfield may step in and share it with him

I reckon that we'll line up as this:
1. Zak Hardaker
2. Tom Briscoe
3. Kallum Watkins
4. Joel Moon
5. Ryan Hall
13. Kevin Sinfield (c)
6. Danny McGuire
8. Kylie Leuluai
7. Rob Burrow
10. Jamie Peacock
12. Carl Ablett
14. Stevie Ward
17. Adam Cuthbertson

20. Jimmy Keinhorst
16. Mitch Achurch
19. Brad Singleton
30. Mitch Garbutt

I'm sure that'll be the17 but perhaps with Garbutt starting and Kylie off the bench. I hope there is a plan to alternate Burrow away from being an 80 minute hooker with at least Sinfield figuring regularly at dummy half.

Let's not forget McDermott surprised us all once by starting Clarkson at dummy half, which I seem to remember went quite well??!!! Maybe Keinhorst at dummy half might not be quite such a surprise ....
