Have you considered the fact that he's a local lad and that these "trips" were part of the deal when we agreed to sign him?
Of course injuries permitting the 13/14 names for the 1st 17 are pretty nailed on but i still would'nt rule out a couple of surprises breaking through.

Maybe McD has a visior Leeds only playing with 3 props. Reason being that we have ample talented back rowers all contending for places.

That could well be what happens, and to be honest perfectly understandable from a 17. But on Friday we are going with 19 are we not? and that been the case, the additional prop would seem worthwhile, especially considering that had Bailey been fit he probably would have been there in stead of one of the non props.

Wasting time?


Last year all the players seemed to be loving it up there, locals loved seeing them up there

will be a good bonding trip

Maybe so, but is that not what the army camp is all about?

Anyway crusaders look to be hammering the Rhinos line with some good defence keep them out. Still 0-0 after 13 mins, Burrow off for Blood bin with BJB replacing him. Webb to Scrum half BJB to full back - What a lot of southstanders have been calling for - well it now has its chance!

Anyone looking for updates follow the Rhinos on Twitter, good stuff so far. twitter.com/#!/leedsrhinos

Leeds start 2nd half with Delaney in the back row with BJB and Watkins as a centre wing partnership, good to see Brian Mac exploring all options, bound to please remarkable rhinos that one

Any scores?

14-0 to Leeds as far as I'm aware.

would you believe it Leeds give away back to back pens for dissent, I hope McD gives the them a right blasting.

20-0 after 70 minutes.

Scorers:
Hall x 2
Senior
BJB

Sinfield 2/4

32-0 now. BJB and Ablett with the tries - both converted.

FT 32-0

plus a good old ding dong at the end with Cross.

Cracking result that. 32-0 and Leeds bombed a lot of chances! Ben Cross having a bit of biff at the end. This years SL in going to be won on defence and the signs are good so far.
So have we still got to be worried? After we got 'tonked' by Featherstone we we're going to get smashed by Bulls at Cardiff...ya know the team that getting 'tonked' by the average Keighley Cougars.

Same here mate we were awful in that department under Bluey tbh.
