Ok Bren, we get your point. But try to keep this one about Leeds and Cas mate, not Wakey!

I was trying to lift my good friend Fully out of the doldrums, by offering him an inspirational tale of triumph over adversity!

More obviously on-topic, it looks on paper that the Whinos will have too much for Cas to handle - Leeds by 12.

Isn't Johnson the second best performing prop in Superleague at the moment..?

King is a much improved player since we took from Hull as well.

But our first graders are kids! And bloody good they are too, but when they get injured we have the junior kids! Unless we get the growth hormones out this aft we are very short on players. I hope Massey has a blinder but unfortunately I can't see anything other than a Leeds win which is a shame because you were shocking a month ago.

I have loved watching your "kids" this season TBF (hang on, that doesn't sound right). I'm actually gutted Daz Clark's injured. I wanted to see him live as I think he's been the find of the season from any club. As for us been pants a month ago, yes we were. But it had a lot to do with us having between 6 and 10 players out for most of the season. We only have 2 missing from this squad (3 if you count Ali but we've learned to live without him) and hopefully they can gel. Danny McGuire made a good comeback last week which IMO is ominous for you guys as you, probably more than any other team, know how good he can be.

Up until a few days back I'd only banned 2. Then everyone decided to turn the NRL board into a toilet so I had to prove a point

Aint that the truth....heart sank when I saw he would be back to face us.

Losing Huby was bad enough but the absence of Fozzard appears to have had the knock on effect of Clark being left out because the equally inexperienced Massey is more urgently needed to provide prop cover.

We don't look anywhere near strong enough in the front row and for once this season Leeds will fancy their chances of bossing that area and getting on the front foot. If that happens it's a Rhinos win for me and by a distance.

Got to agree with you there smoking monkey.
We look very weak in the front row compared to leeds.
This could be our biggest lose this season.
Hope i'm wrong, but with youngquest/isa/fozzard/walker/huby and clarke all out i dont hold out for us getting anything from this game.

Na mate its Cas Leeds! You can't call it.

And we are proper crap still mate don't let a few wins against 2 crap teams fool ya.

The bookies are giving Cas an 8 pt start against Leeds!

Seems very generous...

I only hope we put in a better performance against them than we did down t'lane last year.

Time will tell, they are back mid afternoon tomorrow. Sadly, Im expecting the board to be a toilet again when I get back from the game. Bloody Aussies
