going by the squad, i would keep the same 17 with Leeming in for Robbo.

question is would he be brave enough to start Kruise and leave Ellis on the bench or would you rather see Ellis start and leeming on the bench?

yeh prob same 17 with johnson and broughton dropping out unless he swaps mullally for johnson.

leeming to come on from the bench

I think Kruise could be an asset to us on Thursday by coming off the bench against Leeds' slow and ageing forwards, don't think i'd risk him from the start though as it's been a while since he played Super League.

Agree with Daz, when he came on against Cas last year he caused problems against the 'chubby' team the tigers were.

Leeming or ellis off the bench??? Either sounds good to me!!!
Ellis gives us something extra in terms of kicking-so utilise that early on to tire out Leeds tgen let kruise do his stuff!

He'll be tested against a winning slow and aged pack who have been slow and aged for years. They still do there business and win trophies.
I think he'll do a great job coming off the bench against them.

i wouldnt expect too much from leeming, not really played much SL and only thrown passes out from hooker when on the field for 10mins here and there, got a try too though

been an amendment to the 19, cox comes in for johnson... not sure whats gone on there, maybe johnson pulled up injured in training

Well the best side drew...

Ukuma lifted the whole side second half when he came on. Best I've seen him play.

Thought Leeming was excellent. Speed of the play the ball was much quicker when he was on and he played big minutes.

Yes, his passing was excellent as well. Bruno looks more mobile and dangerous ball in hand for trimming down a little.

I was really impressed with the way they fought back into it tonight. They never gave up and their heads didn't go down. First half we made opportunities and, once again, failed to take them and Leeds were clinical combined with the odd bit of sloppiness from ourselves. Second half, after the first ten mins and when Ukuma came back on along with Huby, we were faster, ran harder and looked generally really potent.

A fair result and a great game.

Looked at the key refereeing decisions and the penalty on the line and leeds man into touch were correct.

Rob Burrow's comedy fall was classic. A bit like Aiton in the first game but at the wrong moment.

Could have gone either way.
