| The attendance in itself is meaningless with respect to the performance on field.
Do you win anything at Easter, yes you do, 2/4 points which as part of the system we have in RL means it can potentially be the difference between league leaders and 5th or because you lose in a demoralising way again, even worse which could easily have happened had we lost that Easter Friday game last year.
Do we want to play any player who isn't fit, no, they are either fit or they're not, there's no in between for me. Playing someone who might think they're fit but isn't 100% should not take to the field.
I'd rather we lose a game playing an 18 year old prop who will be sore as buggery and a bit out their depth for a game than bring back one of our mainstays who is very much integral to how we go but could well get a career changing injury that and then also puts pressure on the teamn/coach for the rest of the season.
it's a balncing act for sure, against warrington last year it paid off but to say we don't win anything in Easter is wrong and the wrong mentality to have.
A bit like when people say we have a 'free hit' because we have loads of injuries (a la Warrington again and saints after the CC final), no it isn't, expecting to get beat is totally the wrong attitude by players or fans, think that way and more often than not you will get beat.

| Quote: Dave K. "I have no problems with those decisions, what annoyed me and others is a set or 2 after Leeds twice pushed a player in the face just like Manu did and it was ignored.'"
The time when Manu did it, he did it at the play the ball and then went for a second go. The first time I thought "don't be stupid, we've got momentum!" and was relieved when nothing happened. When he walked forward and went for it again, even I'd have blown the whistle. It was pure idiocy. That killed off any comeback we could have had. It was the end of our pressure and the start of what we're three consecutive penalties in a minute (resulting in our captain getting binned). Game changing moment.

| inot saying it would have affected final result,but when are other clubs going to copy the leeds foreward pass percentage game,they know for every 10 foreward passes you throw,you will only get pulled up once,possibly twice at most.i know every club throws the occasional foreward pass,but leeds have it off to a fine art.

Was just taking before the game how well Manu has started the season and doesn't seem to be giving away as many silly penalties as last year, seemed to lose his head, hopefully this will calm him down again.

To be fair the officials missed two blatant forward passes in the first half.
