from nrl.com.au

"In team news, Melbourne prop Jeff Lima has erased any doubts over hamstring and foot injuries by training fully in London before the Storm travelled to Leeds by train late on Tuesday.  Rory Kostjysn and Gareth Widdop are believed to be fighting it out for one Melbourne bench spot."

That pretty much confirms Smith to play in the halfs and Hinchcliffe at hooker..

I know this is a bit off topic, but does anyone remember in 1999, Dane Morgan debuted in the WCC against St Helens and never played another game?

I think this is a sign that Widdop will be playing..  Also, the jersey looks great except for the green ME logo..

Kelly has been sent back to play a trial on the Sunshine Coast...

I still want to see Finch at 7 with Widdop at 6.  Kostyagen on the bench for cover if required.

Side named Friday UK time, so overnight tonight...
Storming our way to glory!

Youd think it will be Widdop or Kostajyn but not both. Personally Id go with Kostajyn at 7, only because I want to leave Finch at 6.

Bench:

During the game Smith will go to hooker and Widdop will play 5/8th.

GILLETTE WORLD CLUB CHALLENGE
Venue: Elland Road Date: Sunday, 28 February Kick-off: 1830 GMT
Coverage: Full match commentary on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra, BBC Radio Leeds 92.4 FM, DAB & the BBC Sport website. Also live on Sky Sports 1

Delaney ran in tries in both Leeds' first two games in Super League XV
Leeds Rhinos centre Brett Delaney is in Brian McClennan's 19-man squad despite missing two games with a knee injury.

But Leeds are without Delaney's fellow Aussie Scott Donald, who faces three months out due to a shoulder operation.

Leeds have 11 players who were on duty for their last meeting with Melbourne Storm, the 11-4 win in this same fixture at Elland Road back in 2008.

Melbourne are without forwards Brett White and Sika Manu, new signing Chase Stanley and scrum-half Cooper Cronk.

Storm coach Craig Bellamy has considered switching captain Cameron Smith from hooker to fill the half-back vacancy.

Smith is one of three former recipients of Australia's coveted Golden Boot, having won the award in 2007, prior to Billy Slater (2008) and Greg Inglis (2009).

He is one of 11 players left from the Storm team which won last year's Premiership, which earned them the right to contest Sunday's meeting with Leeds.

Storm warmed up for the clash with Super League champions Leeds with a strong 34-10 win over Harlequins RL at The Stoop on Sunday.

Leeds put behind them defeats in their previous two matches by beating Salford 22-10.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leeds (from): Webb, Delaney, Senior, Hall, McGuire, Burrow, Leuluai, Buderus, Peacock, Jones Buchanan, Lauiititi, Sinfield, Diskin, Eastwood, Bailey, Kirke, Burgess, Pitts, Watkins.

Melbourne (from): Slater, Widdop, MacDougall, Nielsen, Quinn, Inglis, Finch, Tolman, Lima, Bromwich, Blair, Tandy, Smith, Hinchcliffe, Hoffman, Proctor, Lowrie, Kostjasyn, Cahill
