I would be tempted to pick Jimmy for his mobility in defence (especially if we don't have Ward), otherwise I think we will be too slow to deal with Clarke out of dummy half.

I think the Melbourne game coming up will have some baring on team selection, he'll want to pick players who'll be in his 17 for that game to get them game time and can't see him picking Keinhorst over the experience of Delaney for that one (if Ward is back then Delaney possibly misses out then)

Good point, I suppose I havent seen too much of Peteru, but if they play JJB and Delaney there is probably no need for 5 props so they may well play Delaney and Ward for the Melbourne game.

When is Ferres back by the way?

“This is embarrassing, but over two years I’ve probably trained no more than 50 times. Bear in mind we train every day, but I just couldn’t physically train, so I was sitting on a bike. It’s about getting my body right and the rugby will then come.”

Thankfully, things are now looking up for Ferres, who is aiming for a return to the field in March.

It probably explains why is 2 stone overweight.
On team selection I too would have Keinhorst in the 17 but can see why he will most likely go for Delaney due to his experience.
I am also in the minority by going for Golding at FB as I think his defensive skills are much better than Walkers.
And we have enough attacking players in other parts of the team in order to do without him.

We have certainly still to see the best of Ferres for us that's for sure.he hasn't had much luck regards fitness since arriving.at 31 he could still have a few good seasons left in him but you get the feeling this is a make or break year for him. He needs a good run from march and to shed the excess flab which i assume is still present.

Re: RD 1 | Warrington Wolves v Leeds Rhinos : Fri Jan 26, 2018 5:01 pm

Walker
Briscoe
Watkins
Sutty
Hall

Dwyer was meant to be be playing in the friendly vs Fev tonight but not risked to a groin strain.

If that's still an issue in a weeks time it might see Lilley make the bench.

Garbutt come off the field with an injury now also. With Dwyer & Oledzki missing the game through injury, we are down a few already. Ferres, Galloway & then maybe Ward, Dwyer, Garbutt & Oledzki.

i heard that dwyer will be fine for the opener and simply wasn't risked at fev,if so he will be on the bench
i would also give jack walker the start at full back as it is his position to lose
i hope that garbutt is ok as he is our big meter maker up front
