Where's that been confirmed? Nothing on either the club website or the YEP one.
With another back-rower biting the dust, that leaves JJB, Ablett and Achurch as the only fit senior ones at the club and one of those will be playing centre. One more knock and we're into the realms of either playing Sutcliffe at loose - despite his game not suiting the way Leeds use their loose forward - or promoting either Cam Smith or Josh Jordan Roberts from the 19s.
Someone else is going to have to come in anyway you would imagine, as that leaves us with a fit 17 including four half-backs and a hooker.

This has been the story of our season. It has been suggested by some that the coaches has been over working them in training yet Mac has consistently said most of the squad has been unable to train between matches and he has been unable to put out a totally fit squad with many carrying niggles so has had no option to name unfit players in the hope they will be fit in time for the next match.

The line about not training is a complete lie though. Certain players with long term injuries, have not taken part in certain sessions. They have not all missed training full stop. That was a spun lie. And before you ask, I know this from speaking with a few players, and the under 19's who train with them at the beginning of each week.

Can see Sutcliffe being named at centre. What I think McDermott will name the lineup as....
Golding Hardaker (although he and Golding might be the other way around) Watkins Sutcliffe Handley McGuire Burrow Galloway Falloon Singleton Ablett Achurch JJB
Mullally Baldwinson Garbutt Lilley (although I'd prefer to start him over Burrow)

Nobody said all have missed training but each week there has been additions to the long term list. eg this week Ward, Briscoe, Hall, Keinhorst, Ferres, Moon, Cuthbertson, Delaney, Walters. Before we have also had McGuire, Golding, Ablett, Falloon, JJB, Sutcliffe plus suspensions. But I guess you will still say apart from that 'what have the Romans ever done for us '
Others may not have missed training but you cannot train 100% if you are carrying a niggles. So a bit strong to call "it a complete lie" if you did not witness all the complete training sessions yourself you do not know how injuries/niggles had a negative effect. You should know by now that the form of the "in the loop" and "horses mouth" type moles is as bad as the bad form of the first team .

I would go with that but start Lilley with Mags at halfback and bring on Burrow from the bench at 9
