Having home advantage is also going to be massive too.
When we were under the cosh on Sunday, the Northstanders got loud and I genuinely think we helped the guys through that difficult period and turn the game around. Hopefully we can be the extra man again on Saturday regardless of whether it is needed or not.

It seems that the hardest obstacle to overcome is the semi final. One mistake can change a great season in to a good season.
Now they have overcome that, I am sure we will see a different approach to their game. The chance to showcase their skills rather than not making mistakes is a massive difference. Just remember though that Toulouse will be thinking the same.
They beat us in 36 degrees heat in July. This time it will be 25 degrees colder. I believe that the weather was one of the reasons we lost that night , the supporters where knackered just watching. If we play to our potential i think it could be a 11 to 16 bet on the coupon.

Should be a routine win for you lot provided you bring your A game. Toulouse weren't anything special and we were let down by poor discipline and not taking our chances which has been our downfall in many games this season.

Hopefully so because we only brought our B game last Sunday and needlessly made hard work of it.

Aaron More the ref again for the final, I thought he was very poor on Sunday

Seemed to ignore the laying on, shoulders charges and head shots from York, then pulled us for holding down. Don't think Toulouse will approach the game in the same way, some may be ok

He let way too much ride in that first 30 minutes. I have no issues with a ref letting play run and mostly prefer it but if a teams trying to take advantage of that like York did then the whistle should come out. I get what the refs try to do though in playoff rugby and let it play.

I recall the set that York were repeatedly holding down with Trinigy players fighting to get up and him gesturing them to play ball (with York players still on them). Then the next set gives a very soft holding down for a trinity player having a single hand on a York player.

The crowd got on his back early after he let a lot fly.

To be honest I think we’ve been reffed harsher than championship clubs this season. Countless times we play closer to SL pace and are slowed down but allowances seem to be given to the opposition many cases. Would be interesting to see over season how many penalty counts we have won.

With being on front foot most games you’d expect more than 50% but it feels far less.

Maybe I have it wrong. It’s just the way it comes across.

I’ve nothing against Moore or other refs. It’s a tough job and I respect them going out there to do it. But I don’t always agree with how games are reffed inconsistently that’s all.

Both the North Stand and East Stand only have a few remaining tickets left.
I can see this being a sell out.

Looks like headshots are ok then ?
The big issue vs York was the laying on in the tackle and slowing down the ruck

I think it will be about 6k again. Maybe a bit more.

There’s about half seats left E01, E05 and E06 in east. 2/3/4 are pretty much sold out. So not far off 2000 sold in there.

east stand has plenty looking at the plan this morning

Not sure I agree the one block with plenty of seats is the block reserved for away fans, other than the family block E7 it looks pretty sold out

I doubt there will be many away fans to fill that block, I would be surprised if more than a dozen turn up.

Tickets definitely flying out just a few in the East and the Western Terrace now available great effort in sales since Sunday.

Matt Ellis is with JD on radio Leeds tonight at 6 that could be a good listen
