A little bit of good news then......Ablett would have been a bigger miss than BF.

James Child will be the referee.
So anything could happen.

Why does he keep getting Leeds/Warrington games? Will have played Wire 12 times since the start of 2013 and he's been ref 7 times.

James Child reffing a Leeds game, what could go wrong?

he's crap for everyone not just us. his games are a lottery

Exactly.
I see that Thaler has been demoted for this week, obviously Lenegan not GH now controls the RFL.

Brown will be missing for the Wolves.
Chance to recall Patton who'll no doubt then have a blinder.

Most on the wire foroum seem to prefer Patton. They are certainly not happy with brown, i have never been a big fan of brown, although in defence of the lad the whole team has been poor this season. So to single him out maybe a bit harsh.

He should have been demoted the week before after he sin-binned Ablett for being punched.

PS This is a joke, I like Thaler as a ref generally.
They are only human & make mistakes just like the players & all the fans.

Hopefully we can start the game how we finished the hull game and it will be a good game, start how we have started the previous games this season and it could be over within 20-30min

Watched the Leeds Wigan game and was a good watch an arm wrestle in the forwards which is what's making we fear the worst for Friday our pack just don't seem up for the fight to get on top in the forwards so far this season.

It's an interesting game for sure and both teams will be taking some confidance from the previous weeks performance into the game so maybe not as easy to call than had we lost last week but I don't think one 30min spell means we've turned the corner a win on Friday and we're just hitting the apex!

Should be a good game. Have gone for Wire to nick it through sheer desperation. Apart from THAT win we got in the 2011 play offs i dont recall too many happy times for us at your place in recent years.

June 2010 was the last regular rounds win for Rhinos at HJ.

Aye, its a shocker.

Always enjoyed the tussles but it would be nice to finally get a W in this chuffing fixture.

Child would be the best ref in SL if he could get out of his own way. He does well for most of a game but always seems to make a huge mistake and then feel the need to prove himself by compounding it with a series of decisions against that side. Every time I watch him I always feel he has had far too much of an effect on the game. Even if it's just a 5-10minute spell

Think he's VR for Pies v Cas. Thaler, that is, not Lenegan.
