Bollox.

Guess this will force Watkins back to centre and A.N.Other on the wing.

I'd like to see Chisholm given a run out.

The next few games will be a real test for the squad, I hope peacocks long term knee injury was not a result of him playing with an injured knee from the game previous to the giants game.
Sometimes these situations enforce changes which may benefit the team, Watkins to centre springs to mind. Or moving burrow back to scrum half.

That never happens.

Regards, Delaney.

Does that mean we now qualify to be the "plucky, injury-hit underdogs" that the Sky commentary team fawn over for being "brave"?

Not on Monday. Thats well and truely Saints tag for the forseeable!

WRT to Peacock are chickens coming hom to roost following little or not rest so far and prolonged minutes on the pitch?

Is it still innovative to flog him and leave Moore and others sat on the bench unused or given 8 minute spells at the end of the game.

This can hardly have come as a shock.

With Ablett injured I'd like to see Watkins in the centre and Chisolm on the wing but expect to see Keinhorst or, god forbid, Vickery.

Doesn't say what Peacock's "knee injury" is. Could just as easily be a contact injury that could have occured in minute one of the first game of the season as anything "wear and tear" related.

I think we will probably see Vickery come back in so Mcdoughnut can save his blushes. If he doesnt come in and perform this time I expect it will be curtains for him.

Only other choices are Keinhorst and Watson.
Chisolm has no chance as he is out of favour and not playing very well at the moment.
Watson is playing extremely well but out of favour too.

Before anyone comments, no U19s will be picked either.

Spot on G1. I just can't fathom why Peacock has done so many minutes in so many games, whilst others are sat on the bench or up in the stands. It just seems common sense at this stage in the legend that is JPs career to try to preserve his fitness and energy level so that he can make his usual massive contribution for shorter spells through out the season. It's sacrilege, like having a classic Lambo and thrashing it to work every day on the motorway, using it to nip to the tip and do the shopping, when you have a van and a Mondeo on the drive doing nowt.

Looks like Leeds could be getting down to the bare bones of their 'quality rich, numerically poor' 1st grade squad for 2013.

Griffin released, Jones-Bishop yet to play in 2013, Ward, Peacock, Ablett out medium term, Delaney (?)

If those 5 are all missing from the original 25 (now 24 post Griffin's departure) man squad - once described as 'the most exciting and talented squad in the club’s history' by the Leeds CEO - that leaves a total of 19 names only including Keinhorst, Singleton, Vickery and Hood (who is yet to feature in 2013) before having to hand a debut out.

Just lately (2009 onwards) Leeds have been introducing two Academy produced players a season with varying success, lets see which two (or more, or less) McDermott will try out this year.

I suspect Peacock's injury is not so much wear and tear, more not recovering from the previous weeks knee injury. Similar to Watkins stupidly playing in the 2011 CC final with a knee injury and not being seen again that season. When Peacock went down at Odsal I thought it was potentially season ending. I was shocked to see him play at Huddersfield. We really do need to place a bit of faith in some of the back-up players at times.
