i agree, all this relegation talk from some fans is almost like they are willing us to fail so they can go "i told you so" the middle 8's are a new competition now, previous form can be somewhat disregarded our season now restarts Sunday with the semis, and the players, club coaching staff all no this.
we will win 5-6 games minimun in the 8's people are massively over estimated the other sides, Hull Kr are the biggest threat to us winning the middle 8's but cannot see anything else other than a few close calls, it wont be easy we will get some battles, but the club is primed and ready to go, watch us fly.
and it will be very close on Sunday and i think we will sneak it, and that will give us a big confidence boost.

It's pathetic.

Fully agree.

At the very least we have to put in a performance full of commitment against Warrington to try and build some much needed momentum and regain some confidence and self respect. It is our last chance this season for silverware and much needed income from a Wembley appearance.

Interesting to read that as part of its' facilities the stadium has a Quiet Room

"There is a quiet room available should anyone wish to use this space for practising multi-faith or quiet reflection. If you need to use this room, please alert your nearest steward who will direct you to this room."

Think Sinny and GH will be in their pre-match, with 6000 Rhinos Fans queueing to get in after them.

To be fair, meditation should be a regular part of everyone's routine

I truly hope the team and coaches aren't assuming we'll walk through the M8s in the same way as some fans. Even if on paper that's true, the games are played on the field, and like it or not there's zero evidence we'll beat KR or Salford on form. One or two injuries in key positions at the wrong time and we'll be right up against it regardless of the opposition (e.g. Myler being out given he's our only halfback), and we certainly can't afford any kind of Challenge Cup distraction causing us to throw away even one game.

I see the semi final as a really interesting gauge as to how much of our problems are down to lack of quality, and how much down to players taking the proverbial. Either way a big shake up is required, but whilst attitude can be fixed with the right leadership, not being good enough can't.

Pretty sad position to be in but I will be happy with no injuries.

If ablett and garbutt miss out, we are hoping on playing mullally, Delaney and JJB. Can't remember when the 2 old stagers last played and we don't know why mullally has not been playing.

If Some of those miss out or breakdown in the game we will be in a right state. Can you throw all 3 into a SF having not played in ages?

I can't see us holding their pack if they get 1 sent off.

Mullally was out with head injuries

Thanks. Let's hope he is now OK. He has had a very disjointed season with injuries and the 2 weird suspensions.

I see the bookies are giving Cats 10 start and Leeds 8.

8 only, I really hope we win, but my head is saying it's going to be one sided !. Please no repeat of Wigan 70 London Zero

Leeds by 9

Golding
Briscoe
Sutcliffe
Hall
Moon
Myler
Cuthbertson
Parcell
Singleton
JJB
Ablett
Dwyer
Mullally
Ferres
Peteru
Handley
Walker
Oledzki
Walters

It would be a tough game with Ward, Watkins, Garbutt (Thompson, Crosby) in the squad. Without them it looks really tough.

Fingers crossed we step up this week - there's still enough talent in that team regardless.

This squad just shows how reliant we are on Myler. He’s played well for most of this season, but can’t do it on his own.
