GAME ON : Leeds Rhinos v Wakefield Trinity - 19:45:00

GENERAL CHAT ABOUT THE GAME, BUILD UP, THE ACTION AS IT HAPPENS AND AFTERMATH BELOW.

Its the hasbeens against the wannabes.

I think it will be a back and forth affair with Wakefield just pinching it.

Wakefield by 4

Looking forward to this one, hopefully there's a decent crowd to help show off the new stadium.
I think Leeds will have too much for Wakefield, I'll go Leeds by 10.

Wonder if wakey fans can tell us before the game why it wont be fair if they lose it?

Wonder when Shudds fans will be able to come on here before or after a game and tell us why they actually won a one?

There will already be a thread on the Leeds forum blaming the ref before a ball is even kicked

Why not, they are already blaming the ref on the wakey board. So we may aswell get one in as well.

Leeds by 16 setting a marker down at home.

I think ruuBron is on about the Wakey fans not yours.

I wasnt! I was talking about the Leeds fans. They are easily the worst fans for blaming a ref EVERY time they lose. Funnily enough, they never once moaned about the ref when Sinfield was reffing, I mean playing.

Or, actually went and saw a game (other than on TV)

Seriously though, it should be a decent match up.
A big night for Leeds, with the South Stand finished (and it looks superb) and likely to be a big crowd.
6-8 points in it and it really could go either way.

Actually they aren't, they are discussing Kendal and the fact that some prefer other refs to him - a totally legitimate debate to have but don't let that stop you.

Wakefield are +8 on the handicap and I'd probably take that. Wakefield has the stronger pack and if they can pin Leeds back and make the likes of Hurrell spend a lot of time carting Leeds out of their own half, they'll do alright.

You see, this is what keeps the punters coming back to RLFANS - fresh, original content.

Wakefield aren’t great and Leeds were much better last week so I’ll go for Leeds by 8. At the same time though when Hurrell was dealt with Leeds looked pretty clueless in attack and I think that has to be a concern. Should still have too much and Hurrell will probably grab a couple.
