Remember Matt Sing scoring a try right in front of me at Headingley one year when a kick that looked all set for the front row of the terrace stopped dead in a pool of water and he just fell on it

lets be fair, with it being on sky, they will do anything for the game to be on, remmber saints away in the fog??? if a match was scheduled for chenobyl it would still be on no matter what, if sky had there way that is

Yeah, those not in Leeds, don't seem to realise just how bad it is.

The Headingley pitch is way behind some of the football pitches in terms of technology and drainage, even with more advanced pitches football games get called off due to waterlogged pitches all the time.

Given the weather and the state of the roads, there could be a sub 10k attendance tonight (assuming the game goes ahead).

Its starting to brighten here in Leeds.

Its only belting it down now!!

If this level of rain continues I'd assume the pitch will have standing water on it.

Well this is the cricket ground, doesn't look good if it carries on, which it's forecasted to do.

Another 10 hours to kick off - you reserving your spot?

Don't worry guys. Club official twitter feed (Rhinos) says game definately on and no problems expected. Bring your brollies though

Leeds use covers to prevent frost don't they? Might have been wise to have covered the pitch, with the predicted rainfall.

Hope the Groundsman dosen't decide to water the pitch

Going from this to 34c heat next weekend

doesn't need to be on sky for a game at headingley to be on.
Rovers played there at start of season when the pitch was fozen solid.

With yorkshire not playing at home today surely thay can use the equipment that they use the cricket ground to remove water from the outfield?

I would suspect the ground staff are working in it constantly throughout the day. I would suspect the biggest risk to the game will be any water on the walkways and any pooling near emergency exits. A soft wet pitch rarely gets a RL game called off.

Definitely on according to the Rhinos Twitter feed.

Make sure you all wear your Wade McKinnons tonight.

Knee deep in some places in Leeds.

Just seen the lord mayor padding past the corn exchange in a canoe.

I know....I told you all that a few posts above

Hopefully he hasn't. He's in the wrong ground!
