Quote: Birkbygiant "If it was Wigan you'd still expect them to win, same with Leeds, we have to be top of our game to beat either, Rhino's clear favourites, our half backs scrum half can't even get in the England team !'"
If you are going to be one of the top teams, which you are aspiring to be, you need to be able to cope with the tag of favourites. The fact you are trying to claim leeds are ''clear favourites'' despite absolutley everything being weighted in hudds favour, suggests you, not leeds, are trying to get excuses in early.
Let's examine the evidence
Leeds have half the first choice 17 missing
Hudds have had more rest
hudds are above leeds in the table
hudds have won the last 4 meetings, comfortably
Hudds are therefore clear favourites. You also have to take into account that this is a run of the mill league game, without anything riding on it, something which huddersfield thrive on.
