& it's going to be warm at last.
So that means we'll probably get a thunderstorm.

Garbutt might not get long minutes, but I'm guessing he'll get more than the token 10-15 at the end of the game that the likes of Yates/Walters/Robbie Ward usually get.

He'll need to as well. If it's going to be in the mid-70s at kick-off time, there's no chance of getting long minutes out of the likes of Leuluai and Delaney who are going to be gassed after ten minutes. The coach might even consider it necessary to substitute Peacock in a big game, although only with JP's agreement obviously.

If Cuthbertson is fit then they might not be room for Garbutt in the 17. Forwards/subs could be

Cuthbertson
Aiton
Peacock
Ward
Delaney
Ablett

Burrow/R.Ward
Singleton
Leuluai
Keinhorst

Who do you drop? Leuluai has done well tbf since his return and Singleton has still been ok if not great. Do you drop him for someone still learning our plays and defence? It's not like he has a good amount of big game experience either to drop him straight into this one.

I thought Briscoe was targeting this game for his return - any news?

I reckon Garbutt'll be sitting this one out (and not as a non-playing sub). I might be tempted to start Keinhorst and bench Delaney if it's hot n humid.

There was something mentioned a couple of weeks ago saying he was actually going to be out slightly longer - injury not healing as well as it should or something...

New target I believe is the final game before the league split.

He was targeting the Hull cup game but a set back in his recovery set him back 2-3 weeks

Saints looked tired yesterday, plus they only have a few days turn around before Friday game. So everything points at Leeds to do the business. So expect a Saints win!

If Garbutt is fit and ready then think we could see:

Peacock
Aiton
Leuluai
Ward
Ablett
Cuthbertson

Burrow
Delaney
Singleton
Garbutt

With Keinhorst dropping out even though he's played well. That's if McGuire's fit. If he's not then we'd start Burrow and run Keinhorst on a 4 forward bench because I couldn't see Robbie Ward getting much game time.
