(well it seems no-one else wanted to start it off)

expecting a valiant defeat and some pride restored after our previous two encounters this year

Whilst they are not unbeatable on current form, I think we've put a lot of energy into the last 2 games and have some busted bodies. I am happy that whoever we put out will put up a fight - but it's a big ask!

Better than the last time we played them at home would be a start. We looked to have a couple of guys carrying knocks in the second half of sundays game (Kirmond & Ryan spring to mind) so it depends who is fit after a short turnaround. With Widnes at home the following thursday i wouldn't risk anyone who isn't 100% in this one and risk making their injuries worse. Either way i expect a decent effort again but i think they'll just have a bit too much for us in the end.

To paraphrase Kevin Keegan
I would love it if we can stuff it up Leeds, it's been a while since we beat them so we may be due a win but, 24-16 to Leeds.
We need to put all f our efforts in to beating Widnes next week, who may just have one eye on the semi final against Cas.

Let's hope for a pleasant surprise.

Come on Trin !

Wasn't he referring to Ferguson and Man Utd?

Sounded like Leeds had a Tough time of it Last time out and not at their best lately. Wouldnt be shocked either way so long as effort is put in.

Think we (Leeds) are trying to time a peak for the CC Semi in 6 weeks time so think we'll still be scratchy this week tbh. If you come out out of the blocks quickly you might get yourself a couple of scores ahead after 30 mins if we're as un-alert in defence as we were against Catalans. Think we just expected them to tussle and grind away with them being away from home but they actually threw the ball about and played a bit and that's what you need to copy.

We've still managed to rack up 30+ points the last few weeks though and the Moon/Hall side is looking in good nick. So you could score a few but your defence is still going to have to be pretty good to stop us getting to 30+ again.

Could be a close game IF you start brightly and enthusiastically. If you're level or behind after 30 then can't see anything but a Leeds win.

Would like to see more of the same, have really enjoyed watching the team over the last two weeks. Great to see the desire, effort, determination etc, great to see us have some structure, great to see us defend like it matters, great to see us have a game plan that the players understand and that the fans have been screaming out for all season ie simple no mistakes rugby in our own half, good kick chase, hunt the mistake, structured attack in opponents third, respect possession, no risk patient rugby.Great to see players selected in correct positions. If we get the same effort and the same game plan against Leeds and the same level of performance I will be happy, the result is secondary. The only change I would like to see is Wildie, Molloy, Walshaw, Raleigh and Sammiut get a game, it would give some of our players more time to get over knocks before the very important Widnes game and would give those players a chance to show that they have bought into the new style and create competition for places.

Its great to see a bit of positivity coming from your good self as well

I am always positive when I get what I want.
