You are definitely favourites and will probably give 10-14 points on the handicap i would imagine. I'm going to Headingley with the firm belief that we can win though (and so will the team)

Unless we get spanked... which we won't!

Think Warrington were the last team to knock Leeds out of the playoffs at Headingley. I am tipping us to do this. If it comes down to fitness think we might have a bit more left in the tank towards the end of the game. Our forwards are playing better at moment and and think this will be a key in this game.

Could easily get torn apart in the backs though. Just hope we maintain composure in defence and for goodness sake watch the Sinfield kicks!!!

The Rhinos home record counts for nothing !
Its a one off game, winner takes all and although Leeds will be the bookies favourites, we will turn up and give them a damn good go and who knows what will happen.
The one sure thing is that our boys will be relishing the task and Leeds, who have everything to lose, wont be wanting to play the Mighty Trin.

Come on Trin !

Have we? you would be hard pushed to find many Leeds fans who expect an easy game on saturday never mind a GF this year





he's shocking, apparently cas bound, can't go soon enough for me


Here's looking forward to Saturday

Fair comment - I probably extrapolated some of the more 'eccentric' comments on your board as a more general consensus.

Nevertheless, we will be considered massive underdogs - just the way we like it!

I think the general consensus on the Leeds board is that Wakefield are going to be tough, given our form and yours, but equally I think most Leeds fans think the team have in them to beat you... in the same way I think you feel the same.

No one is under any illusions about this game or getting near another GF at the moment, it is going to be very tough to beat you, never mind go further.

Equally, I think you will struggle to find many Rhinos who would disagree with you about Weller Hauraki!

I was looking through the format of playoffs

If we beat Leeds our next two games would be 2 of Wigan, Warrington and Sts and then probably the other one of the three in the final
The only plus is we will never play Catalan away.

The only way we play anyone but these three is if one of the lower clubs gets through to the final.

If we beat Leeds we either play
Wigan if they lose their game against Catalan
or the loser of Warrington v Sts.

It would be a hell of a ride but if we make it through we will have beaten the top teams to get there.
That's why we are 125/1........don't seem so great odds now.

I thought you had this wrong but you are right... sorry!

You would get Wigan, if they win, if they lose to Catalan, then you would indeed get the winner or the Warrington v Saints game, so you are right, no trip to France

If Leeds win then they will get the lowest place losers from the top 4, so we will never get Wigan in week 2, but can get Catalan, Saints or Warrington away.

The difference for you is that the top team may not pick you as the Club Call pick but they will always pick us.

I know I'm taking it more seriously than necessary at this stage but I like to know the shirts I'm going to dream about us beating

Warrington regretted picking the Rhinos last year as the lowest placed side... so you might be right!
