The choice of referee has, ontop of the poor start and injuries, all but sealed Leeds' fate.

Why? Has an Australian referee been selected?

No, a much worse choice.

Pete Smith on Twitter said Ablett is the least serious (although still a major doubt for this weekend) and Golding has a "possible" broken bone in his foot.

Ablett and Briscoe are in protective boots. Mullally is playing this weekend, and they are pushing JJB to be right if possible.

Any news on Falloon? How about Keinhorst to hooker?

This has been suggested before.....and I have to agree it is surely better than starting with Burrow with all the additional defensive, detrimental repercussions that entails against a side like NQ.
McDermott once surprised us all by starting Clarkson at DH with good success; Keinhorst would go even better I believe. He's a similar tenacious tackler who can hold his own in the middle, but who could probably do more offensively. Burrow (as is best) could come on from the bench to mix it up a little in attack.
Fingers crossed though that Faloon makes it

Hardaker
Briscoe (Handley)
Watkins
Moon
Hall
Golding (Sutcliffe)
Lilley

Galloway
Faloon (Keinhorst)
Cuthbertson
Ablett (Keinhorst) (Delaney)
Ferres
Delaney (Singleton)

Burrow
Garbutt
Singleton (Keinhorst)
Mullaley

Achurch and Handley not in the Featherstone squad shows to me that they'll be playing on Sunday. Baldwinson included for them. Squad announced tomorrow at 10am, but expecting.

If that was the team i would be quietly confident of us giving it a good go.Its obviously 6,7 and 9 where the question marks are but if we can keep it simple and man up we will be ok. We are clearly not favourites now and have been written off by most so again, i think that works in our favour. Current forecast for sunday is wet afternoon so a low scoring forward battle would also be another good thing, last thing we need is a dry track for Thurston to rip us apart on! (yes i know, he still may do so ) .

Imagine flying all that way just to ref a meaningless friendly though.

Think it's probably me who keeps suggesting Keinhorst to hooker mate for all the things you mention. Would also agree with the team you have put. Don't think Briscoe, Golding or Ablett will make it.
