Ward's had terrible luck. The injuries that are worrying are the recurring ones, like his shoulder (David Creasser anyone?) and potentially the concussions. The bigger problem with the niggling ones is that they stop him getting proper runs of games. When he does (like 2015 and 2017) he goes very well. I'd rather get rid of all our over 30s before him.

I'd hope that as a club we're professional enough to review what injuries he's had and look for common causes and whether he needs to change some things to minimise risk. Sam Burgess knackered his shoulder when young due to shoulder charges (as did SBW) - once they stopped doing them he hasn't had a problem since.

Official car parking spaces at the stadium are as rare as rocking horse poop and it is highly unlikely that you will be able to just turn up and find one, if you have one as part of your corporate entertainment package then you will find the official car parks on St Michaels Lane (see streetmap above)

The streets around the stadium are residential but are mostly unrestricted for on street parking other than the few streets off St Michaels Lane behind the southstand (The Newports and Broomfields) and the street off Kirkstall Lane marked "the Tur" on Streetmap (actually called The Turnways), if you want to upset lots of local people who can't understand why you'd want to park outside their house or what on earth goes on every second Friday behind that wall at the back of their garden then by all means use their street, otherwise don't.

The good news is that the rest of the streets off Kirkstall Lane are all unrestricted for parking - you are in deep studentsville here and so are unlikely to find any resident who gives a flying one about you parking in front of their dosshole, parking around the Beechwoods and St Annes are also unrestricted but Police are always warning about theft from and of cars in these streets, this is also where your visiting coaches park (tee-hee).

Agreed

A must win game if we are to guarantee our Super League place before the final game of the season

For the first time int this middle 8s I'm actually looking forward to the game, total heart over head but I can see us putting in a good performance tonight.

This means come 10pm tonight I will be travelling home fully disappointed I'm sure.

We really are getting to crunch time now, if they don't stand up to be counted tonight, it doesn't bode well for the next few weeks. I'm confident it will go OK, but probably not much more than that given the mental fragility around the squad these days.

Let's not forget that they beat us at Salford playing with 12 men for a large part of the match. I do think we'll win but we will have to be far better than we have been.

people read far too much into what side beats who and when, does not work like that, a side can hammer a side one week and 3-4 weeks later the reverse happens. it was that type of logic the had Cas fans (and team) Convinced that all they had to do was turn up at old trafford last year to collect the trophy.

That was a terrible performance but I don't see how it has any bearing on tonights game.

Salford were invigorated by a recent NRL signing looking to impress, we had a Semi Final the week after and absolutely nothing to play for.

I do think we have a decent performance in us before this awful season ends .If it's not tonight I fear the players will lose what little confidence they had left

Confidence is so fragile it won't take much to go wrong for us to fall apart. Hope I'm wrong but I think we will struggle tonight, even though Salford are missing Hastings.

It was everyone except the Cas players & Cas fans who assumed that.

I never said that it has any bearing on tonights game. My comments are more in response to those who think that we'll win because Hastings and Burgess are out. I totally agree, on the night, it's 17 against 17.

it really was not, cas fans the vast majority genuinely believed it was going to be procession, and as my whole family most of friends are cas fans and i live in that area, i can say that for a fact. maybe the players did not but psychologically maybe they were not as switched on and did not believe Leeds had a big performance in them, and when it came did not handle it.
