You didnt have no props though did you?

Had it been say, King and Johnson against Huby, Emmitt, Fozzard, Walker, Jackson and Snitch, I think we'd have beat you.

Isn't Johnson the second best performing prop in Superleague at the moment..?

King is a much improved player since we took from Hull as well.

Our kids turned over your team a couple of years back. Think we only had 5 or 6 first graders that night. And if anythings been proven this year, it's that the SL is predictably unpredictable.

But our first graders are kids! And bloody good they are too, but when they get injured we have the junior kids! Unless we get the growth hormones out this aft we are very short on players. I hope Massey has a blinder but unfortunately I can't see anything other than a Leeds win which is a shame because you were shocking a month ago.

I have loved watching your "kids" this season TBF (hang on, that doesn't sound right). I'm actually gutted Daz Clark's injured. I wanted to see him live as I think he's been the find of the season from any club. As for us been pants a month ago, yes we were. But it had a lot to do with us having between 6 and 10 players out for most of the season. We only have 2 missing from this squad (3 if you count Ali but we've learned to live without him) and hopefully they can gel. Danny McGuire made a good comeback last week which IMO is ominous for you guys as you, probably more than any other team, know how good he can be.

Up until a few days back I'd only banned 2. Then everyone decided to turn the NRL board into a toilet so I had to prove a point

Aint that the truth....heart sank when I saw he would be back to face us.

Losing Huby was bad enough but the absence of Fozzard appears to have had the knock on effect of Clark being left out because the equally inexperienced Massey is more urgently needed to provide prop cover.

We don't look anywhere near strong enough in the front row and for once this season Leeds will fancy their chances of bossing that area and getting on the front foot. If that happens it's a Rhinos win for me and by a distance.

Got to agree with you there smoking monkey.
We look very weak in the front row compared to leeds.
This could be our biggest lose this season.
Hope i'm wrong, but with youngquest/isa/fozzard/walker/huby and clarke all out i dont hold out for us getting anything from this game.
