Totally agree with this and will now hopefully put Riddell under pressure.

Also the new regime seem to think the same as me about feka - He just ain't good enough.

Goulding and Bailey to miss out for me.

The main game-changing moment I remember from him last year was when he came on against Warrington in the semi, and left a gap in the middle for them to run through (more than once).

You're certainly right about the momentum switching at that moment. It switched from us to them.

I know it wasn't totally Feka's fault. It memory serves, Phil Bailey was injured at roughly the same moment, so Fielden went off and Bailey went off - two tacklers - and in return we got the non-tackling Feka. Another cracking interchange from Nobby. So no, it wasn't entirely Feka's fault, but bearing that in mind, if the new coaches want a Feka to be a soldier capable of putting his body on the line, rather than a 10-minute luxury, then I'm inclined to go along with them.

Eastwood, Peacock, Donald, Ablett and Watkins all out so we have got a few excuses



But yeah, better team than expected, although Sinfield, Buderus and Hall are all 50/50 by the sounds of things. Which would of course change the Leeds line up immensely. Fingers crossed though.

Does anyone else remember a cracking comeback from Vicki on this forum a few years back when during the same discussion as this she retorted that Leeds had more players in prison than on the physio's bench - and that was the truth

Word on the street is delaney pulled up in training yesterday! And limped off not to be seen again. We might have what looks like a good squad but more than a few are playing with injuries.

I still fancy a Leeds win if delaney rumours turn out to be just that and hall, beds and sini are good to go!

Last season burrow, Webb, buderus, kirke, mcshane and donald had long term injuries. in 08 Leeds had long term injuries to mcguire, kirke, ablett, jjb, toopie and Brent webb. plus disco played with injections in the play offs and gf with a broken hand. 07 Ashley Gibson, scruton, Ali, sinfield and toopie.

Leeds have had their fair share of injuries! Leeds just seem to be pretty good at getting a team in top gear come the play offs which is the real trick.

I don't say this to troll at all, it's ok having all guns blazing now and picking up points like you are helps your chances in the play offs but it's no good
playing awesome now and limping out of the play offs having shot your load too early.

I'd go:

FB 2 Roberts
RW 22 Ainscough
RC 3 Gleeson
LC 24 Goulding
LW 5 Richards
SO 6 Sam
SH 7 Leuluai
P 8 Fielden
H 9 Riddell
P 19 Prescott
SR 11 Hansen
SR 12 Joel
LF 13 O'Loughlin

S 1 Phelps
S 10 Coley
S 21 O'Carroll
S 23 Mossop

but as Ainscough's not been recalled I'd put McIllorum on the bench with Phelps at centre and Goulding out wide.

7 Years ago!

Carmont & Bailey to miss out for me.

As am I.
