I totally agree with Marty and Chapylad. As good as Gannon is performing and he certainly is I think the club have a care of duty to protect and nurse such a precious talent. If ever there was an example of doing the wrong think then look no further than Ward!
Rhinos have some young gems that will be stars of the future if handled correctly. I think Kev and Agar will not let it happen and we should all be patient.

Wonder if the rest will help or hinder us

fancy us for this, not just coz we beat Was, but we have been very close against saints for last few years and fallen just short, due a win.think we will get it.

It was 40-8 and 48-0 in the games last season wasn't it?

One thing in your favour this time is the scheduling, with Leeds off the back of a rest and Saints a semi final. I just hope it's cooled off by the weekend.

In the cup tie our pack dominated theirs and if not for Zane's red we might have seen them off with barely a back on the pitch. If we can maintain that dominance up front with a more balanced side we've got every chance.

They massively underestimated us that day.

They wont do so again. As long as we give them a game, Im happy.

Think we are probably going to need Lui fit and firing to give us a proper shot at Saints. That and a bit of luck.

Didn't think saints were all that hot in their last two. I reckon we're in with a shout if they don't step it up.

We'll be in with a chance most games the way our pack is shaping up. This is the first year in a long time where field position isn't really an issue. We're getting forward really well.

The rest should do us good, we are still a bit patched up and another couple of bodies coming back won't do any harm. Good benchmark game in a way - I think the Cas result was a bit of a one-off (although again I can't remember us giving another SL team a hiding for some time).

Will be interesting when the likes of Holroyd, Smith, A. Sutcliffe and Lui return who will be the casualties in the team.
