Too brutal for me I'm afraid.

Not a fan of it, but can kind of see why some people are.

I have man flu. Dial 999. Tell them it's man flu they might send the air ambulance

Send in the marines

Having watched one of my team give a seminar on TBI, particularly from sports injuries and seeing the NFL looking to avoid multiple law suits and rugby trying to reduce head contact to zero I find it comical that one of the fastest growing "sports" has the major objective of giving your opponent brain damage.

Another win in the kitty, third and eight points clear of seventh. Really something this Leeds team this season.

yes they look very good. young viera was outstanding. mates a Newcastle regular and he reckons we are better than them at this moment. they are rubbish without shelvey

Well considering Leeds only picked up 4 points from their first 6 games then over the next 20 matches we've probably picked up more points than anybody else. I thought Newcastle & Brighton would be too far ahead to catch and was happy with a playoff place but for the first time I think we might be able to get top 2. More likely catching Newcastle than Brighton who still look strong. If we can keep close to Newcastle for a while they then have a tough run of fixtures at the start of March - away to Hudds & Reading (midweek the latter) and home to Fulham in the space of 7 days. Could be the period that we can catch/overtake them if they don't fair well in that week.

15th April Newcastle vs Leeds, 5th game from the end of the season, could be massive.

Could the return of interest and enthusiasm for the soccer team impact on Rhinos attendances I wonder?

It didn't when Yorkshire started winning again. It would be great to see LUFC in the top flight again.

There's little cross-over between YCCC and Leeds Rhinos even when one or the other is successful.

You wouldn't swap one for the other.

Entirely different demographics which do not mix.

Cricket = A,B,C1
Rugby League = C2,D,E

Not even T20 bash which appeals to some C2's and a sprinking of D's (if they obtain a free ticket) would see anyone switching from Leeds Rhinos to Yorkshire Vikings.

Pretty much the same for RL and football.

Soccer used to be the same demographic as RL but not nearly as much these days. Not since ABC1's occupied most of the seats which only they can afford. C2DE's get most of their soccer fix off TV as they can just about afford that.

All elite sports fans are in the same boat.
