Leeds 22 London 10

“It was a good tough contest, I thought. The game, the performance reflected what we’re about as a group, as human beings, as a club”.

Been told Smith has made a couple of rotations to his team tonight, Handley is expected to play, Sinfield starts in halves with Frawley dropped from team and O'Connor starts with Ackers on the bench tonight.

Whilst I would totally agree with the dropping of Frawley today ,I would hope that Sinfield is not put in against Cats and Saints , where our pack will get murdered and so will Sinfield.

26-0

" We always knew the wins were there and we have been close in every game so far. This proves everything is gravy"

I hope frawley is dropped, otherwise what does a player have to do to lose their placem any talk of him needing this game to build confidence isn't right l, he had that last week and blew it and has consistently been average to poor. If sinfield plays tonight and does a good job he should keep that place too.

Kind of puts things in perspective when on other platforms London see this as their best chance of a win i doubt it but......

decent team, bench looks a bit light for me, but should be a good test to see how depth is this year, good to see frawley dropped, not just for his performance but just for the way he acted with Edgell last week, shocking from a veteran!

That’s an interesting selection.

RS is looking at a few “players for the future” here I think. Roberts at centre will be a big game for him, he’s not going to stay at Leeds as a winger.

Ackers to bench is a surprise; possibly carrying a knock or maybe RS unhappy with his form.

Let's be right, London will fancy this.
But there is no way we should lose this game.
Good on RS for dropping Frawley, hopefully Jack can take his chance.
Bench is very light and Ruan will only get 5 minutes.
We should still have enough.
More about the performance / reaction for me tonight.

Roberts played a couple of games at centre last year and he looked far more comfortable there than wing. Not a world beater but better there for sure.

I’ve jinxed it and he’ll have a howler tonight.

Ruan will get game time tonight.’

What a cracking pre-match and atmosphere for this game, claps for the club.

Deary me, if we don't win this by at least 40 then we really are in the brown stuff. With all due respect, London are ill equipped for SL (not their fault) and we should be clattering them. The performance is key.

Bench of one Prop, one BR, one hooker,one academy FB?.

Guessing Goudemand will do a stint at prop too after 20mins of backrow. I'm sure that will Improve our go forward

Really don't like carrying an outside back on the bench even if Martin is at centre. Hope Ruan gets more than 7 minutes this week

Unless we have injury worries over Miller/ Sinfield I can't see why you'd pick Edgell over TNW who really needs game time in these type of games
