I agree.I certainly miss the Leeds Bradford derby.

It's so long since anyone has been at a game I think it will sound loud more out of relief than anything when we get full crowds back

Apparently, Tom Johnstone is still suffering from concussion issues, and has been made unavailable indefinitely.

That's not good. Hope he's back soon as he's quality. Hopefully not as bad a wards was

Jeez not good news that. Well good that hes not playing against us but not good for the lad. Hope he gets thru it ok.

Unfortunately he tried to get some fitness back and went on a bike ride and was getting migraines so had to stop.
That is really bad news every time he seems to get over one injury he ends up getting another.
Fingers crossed he gets well soon.

Sounds very much like Stevie Ward then. Terrible really. Long term health is the most important thing. Top player, hope he fully recvers but doesnt sound great.

i would rather he play and score a couple of tries and Wakey win , the guy has had nothing but bad luck and is already a Wakey ledgend and could have been an international superstar (hopefully he still will be ) . i hope he is back soon fit and well but you fear for him like we did for Ward .

Thank you and the other Leeds posters on here for the kind words re TJ. It’s a sad situation for a young man. Let’s have a good game Friday.

Have to agree with Dunkirk.
We may support different clubs but we are united is supporting those who play to entertain us.
Look at the support shown back to Rob Burrow by supporters of ALL clubs.
Get well soon Tom!!

2 Tom Briscoe
4 Konrad Hurrell

Fair comment Seth.
I think it would be unfair to leave Walters out and cannot see Martin or any of the subs I`ve mentioned missing out hence me juggling the squad to accommodate them all.
On the other hand he might play Martin at 13 with Walters SR.
