How do you put Lauaki ahead of Washbrook? None stop performance from him on Friday, conversely Lauaki had a non start performance. I'd go with Washy for his ability to cover a number of positions; mainly hooker and loose man, and it also depends on Little Sams overall fitness.

aint horne out for a month

It is a massive 2 games against leeds, whilst they wont turn our entire season around winning them both would be a great boost for the team and our prospects of silverware or even just performing well in the Play offs

I smell smoke screens here. Maybe Horney's had some kind of a 'strain' but he's able to play through it o.k.
Mind games before these two BIG games perhaps

We won't win the next two, Leeds won't lose 5 in a row. They usually play well against us and I am going for Leeds to win at their place and us to win at ours.

Leeds have not had an "up and coming British coach" for a while either

I think with the bonus of 2 days extra to recover, Leeds travelling to the South of France and their apparent lack of form and confidence, we have everything on our side for a possible Headingley win.

Factor in the 2 or 3 tries that Keith Senior will not be scoring against us etc, I think we have a chance of a win on Friday.

Leeds look poor at the moment and in a bad run of form, that said we never seem to be able to do it against Leeds even if they are not playing well. We should be able to beat them on Friday and then back at the KC but my head says we will struggle to win at Headingley and 50/50 at home in the cup.

I would be ecstatic with that, our only chance of silverware is the C/Cup and beating Leeds at our gaff would take us once step closer.

our best chance to beat L**ds at their pit for years on Friday.

However under Agar our record against them is abysmal, I'm expecting a defeat.

We did win 44-28 in 2006 and 17-6 in 2007, so not too long ago, agree best chance we have had for a while, Leeds are def on the down turn and not the team they where, they wher poor last night,

This explains why horney wasn't kicking much on Friday then. Should never be kicking for touch anyway with the boot that Whiting and Westerman have. Lets hope he's fine, he's been great recently.

And we were 3 tries up in 2008(?) and managed to blow it if I remember rightly.
