On Friday night Leeds looked like what they are, a very well schooled superleague team with class down their spine.
We have to remember this was only our second game together under a new coach with a new game plan. The real test is on Sunday week.
My only concern from Friday was how easily Burrows wrong footed Abdul and Ellis, and the lack of inventiveness when running at the line.
As I say early days and lots to working on , but T.S. will hopefully have things in hand and be working on all issues this week in the sun.

I think if they avoid key injuries, which is stating the obvious, Rovers will be better in the Middle 8's going into the game with a winning mentality, than a demoralised SL team, whose fans will be downbeat and expecting their team to perform badly. Add to that Sheens' experience and coaching ability and I see them back in SL at the first attempt. I'd say their squad is better than Widnes and possibly Huddersfield already.

We have a lot of unknowns or 'potential' especially in the 3 quarters, but their potential is there for all to see. Staying injury free is key (can't be as unlucky as last season). The sheens factor will be huge come the middles 8s (whose available, contacts, draw of playing under him) not sure our squad is better then hudds but I am sure Stone came with a pretty terrible record at his previous club (Newcastle?) and they haven't really improved their squad in the off season so I imagine they will be down there along with Widnes.... the other 2 is anyone's guess I imagine wakey will be down there as I believe Chester got found out last season.... Salford haven't really improved but I guess that will depend on what they get out of carney....

I know a guy who got banned from most of the major bookies for this very reason, he took them to the cleaners! They banned him as he knew more than them!!!

He ended up getting employed doing the handicap coupons for Northern independent bookies!

The big hurdle to overcome is that those seven games come thick and fast. The quality of refereeing in the Championship each week varies wildly from ok to almost laughably poor, if you think SL is inconsistent...Though I guess it isn't so long ago since you were out of SL so your fans will perhaps have a better idea of what to expect.

I know my club certainly struggled to adapt, but Leigh showed last year that if you throw enough money at it you might have a chance. We had a clown in Ferres who threw money at the wrong players and that ended in disaster! Barring any meltdowns, KR should have top spot wrapped up already though and especially given your extra game at the bash is against a young Bradford side. What a joke concept that is!

I like the magic week end/summer bash but not as an extra fixture. We suffered last year by being in poor form & hitting FC in red hot form. Would be better playing a couple of rounds of the cup at one ground. But in 8 days we will be reading the reports & may have an idea how we will fare. I am looking forward to this years matches & the chance to visit some grounds I have not seen in a while.
