i dont know if i would go that far!! will have to see!! leeds have only just got something like the full playing roster to choose from, webb and buderus are not really match fit and we are playing a new system! so we have to give that time.

i also feel we won our early season games with a lot of heart and plenty of big names missing. the lads who put in a huge effort to get are season off to a good start look to be feeling it a bit.

at the start of the comp we had sinfield, mcguire, burrow, webb, buderus, senior and jjb out. so im not suprised a few are looking knackerd. webby is nowhere near his best and buderus needs time too, even though i thought he was our best player on monday and was pretty good on friday at the bulls.

I hope I am wrong! I am coming to the match and would love to see Hudds win it!

i have scanned a view of the threds since monday. im not suprised one bit by some of the total knackers that has been posted throughtout SS.

some of you are the type of fans we can all do without.

saints last year where worse than we are now for a good part of the season and then were awesome until the GF!! now pundits are saying can anyone stop saints after we lose 4 in 5.

FFS take a deep breath and have some faith!! in what the club are trying to do.

if it doesnt work out then so be it. we can change it next year or the year after.

i first watched leeds around 85/86, ive had a season ticket on and off since 88. i watched leeds through my childhood win nowt apart from a yorkshire cup final!! I love leeds, i love the club. I will still love the club when like the nrl you can win the comp one year and finish bottom next.

if we have a few $hite seasons big deal. i get some much more out of been a fan than watching leeds win every week. to be honest the main thing is enjoying the highs and lows with my friends and family who i go to the games with week in week out and cheering on a bunch of lads who play the toughest game of all.

is this a blip in form or have the wheels fallen off!! i dont know!! i cant read the future!!

yes im gutted about the last few weeks but i will always be a leeds fan!!

role on saturday i cant wait!! personally i think hudds look a well coached solid team. game on!!

I've watched them since Wembley 78....the young uns don't know how lucky they are. ....One of my most vivid memories is watching Eric Grothe make his debut in driving snow. Wonder what he was thinking that day ? We can all still offer constructive suggestions though.
McGuire reminds me so much of Schofield....who DID play r.centre and/or stand off successfully with the similar pacy backing up style.

Last time we were on Sky away to Huddersfield, we lost, but that was back in 2003.

I remember that game mostly for Russell Smith sending Matt Diskin to the sin bin for Danny Ward's obstruction on Paul March. Easy mistake to make.

Without going overboard, McGuire and Jones-Buchanan are ever-presents this season while Sinfield has missed one from the first eleven.

thought jjb and maggs were missing at the start!! must have been pre-season games i saw!! my bad!!

I reckon we'll win by 8 and kick start our season. We need to show the form that we did at the start of the last year.
