I don't think we should make too many changes because we'll no doubt get a beat, maybe a few changes will be alright but still needs a strong team out.

1. Patten
2. Clay ( If fit, was limping badly on Saturday)
3. Nero
4. Ratchford
5. Broughton
6. Sneyd
7. Holdsworth
8. Cashemre
9. Smith
10. Feka
11. Adamson
12. Sidlow
13. Spencer

14. Boyle
15. Jewitt
16. Owen
17. Neal

There's a few changes there. Rest Wild (because he has played in every game so far including friendlies IIRC and runs his blood to water easch time), Godwin (Because he picked up an injury), Gibson (Picked up and injury), Henry ( Still might not be fit), Gleeson (Obvious reasons)

Really? Something tells me we could handle 'fractured metatarsal' or such like. Can you imagine going to see your doctor with a painful arm, for the doctor to 'um' and 'aah' for a moment or two before telling you that you've got an injured arm?

No disrespect to Hunslet and I'm sure it'll be a lot closer than anyone really expects and they haven't done too badly in the Championship this year, but, I think we could win the game with a team something like the following:

1. Patten
2. Broughton
3. Adamson T
4. Nero
5. Clay
6. Ratchford
7. Sneyd
8. Palea'aesina
9. Smith
10. Boyle
11. Adamson L
12. Sidlow
13. Anderson
14. Owen
15. Jewitt
16. Neal
17. Spencer, Marriot or Davidson

Rest
Cashmere (head cut clash week)
Wild (Done a tonne of work since he's been here could do with a rest)
Godwin (Took a know last week)
Holdsworth (Give him a rest, no need to risk him, and I think he's got a ticket to Old Trafford )

Injured
Gibson
Parker
Henry
Gleeson

Bizzarely I expect a bigger attendance at the South Leeds Stadium than last weeks away fixture at the Stoop.

Was that tongue in cheek mate, I believe their biggest crowd at SLS this season is only 1,190 against Dewsbury a few weeks ago, now I'd like to beat that but I'm not overly optimistic.

You'll be made more than welcome at the World Famous 'Stade de South Leeds' !! - providing the infamous South Leeds Mistral doesn't intrude like last Sunday then it should be a good game as we're doing okay this season.

The club has its own bar called the Pheonix Bar situated on the Right Hand side of the stand as you approach and you'll be made more than welcome for a drink in there. Car Parking is plentiful but be careful about parking directly outside the stand as there is a (deliberate) 90 minute parking restriction there and the Council love to book people. The free,large Car Park is right at the mini roundabout as you approach the Complex and only a very short walk away from the Stadium.

There is normally a bar open overlooking the ground and concession stands for the usual food etc.The stadium is generally all-seater with spectacular views from the Upper deck and the fans tend to mix in well.
Leigh came over last year and insisted on standing in the areas where seats have been moved out (for some strange reason!!) and thoroughly enjoyed their time as our guests. Just a warning - it can get a little cool as the sun sits mainly behind the stand during the match so wrap up well if its a cold day!!

It will be great to see as many of you there as possible as I don't think we've ever played you at the Stade. I do remember the replay at The Willows last time we played - I was away for the draw at MacLaren Field !!

Hope Lowey has a good show and Ritchie Barnett can stretch his legs - oh and thanks for Paul Mansson many years ago - what a great player he was for us ! We have a couple of players from your side of the hill in Crusaders loanee Elliott Kear and Andy Yates, a lively prop from St Helens.

See you all on Sunday - listen out for me !!

Yeah but theres only one next to the ground itself. The others may be and probably are private?
