In fairness it’s horrible luck only a week in to the new season. It’s a credit to Leeds the 17’s I’ve seen people putting about the place look as strong as they do.

I do fancy you guys to be Saints closest challengers this season if you can keep everyone fit.

I know just when Agar was saying we have our strongest squad for a long time before the Wire game.
Well we can now see how strong that squad is.
I predicted us 3rd this season with Catalans winning the league.
Not sure that was a wise choice after Saints hammered them!
Let`s hope we can keep it 13 a side tomorrow.

I really don’t think we look that strong, and I think people are overrating us this season. Sezer is class, but Austin is up in the air. let’s see…..
Our back line is very weak without Newman and Fusitua.

A lot will depend on the halves but on paper and with everyone fit, there aren’t many better 17’s IMO. You need the Austin and Sezer of their first seasons at Wire and Huddersfield but get that and I can’t see you finishing below 2nd or 3rd.

Hope so, Sezer will be great if he stays fit. Agree Austin could to, but was terrible last two years at Wire….

If Wigan can’t beat a Leeds side with 7 first choice players missing you lot are in a bad place.

Nice to get the excuses in. Do you write for the Yorkshire Post?

The Leeds team will look really strong on paper tonight and if we get beat it won’t be the end of the world.

If we lose though I’m blaming the wind.

Hardaker on the wing, Partington onto the bench.

I would have put a forward on the bench too but it wouldn't have been Partington....but..... New coach, new coaching, clean slate. See how he goes.

yada, yada, yada.

We hear it all the time. Wigan can have a full team injured (and pretty much have for the past 3 seasons) but are still a scalp for anyone that beats us but if our opponents have some injuries we are lucky and should have won anyway. Glad people still see us as the benchmark.

Totally outplayed in the first 10.

And the second 10

Much better last 15 minutes.

We improved a lot in the last 15, how many points is that wind worth? If we make yards like we did in the first 20 Leeds will be starting sets in our half.

What a great spot by Liam Moore for the Powell try. Brilliant.

Currently on 50 mins. First 20, awful but superb response. This team is only going to get better the more the pitches dry up. We clearly want to move the ball around and offload. Im loving it. It's just chalk and cheese to what we have been used to.

Errrrrrr. Where does French come in ha ha. Has to go on the wing surely, and no bad thing either.
