I can see us getting thumped TBH.
The loss of Hardaker and BJB plus Bailey will hurt us.
Don`t under estimate what last Friday`s game will have taken out of the team too.
It is always difficult to get yourself up for a game following a cup final win or lose.
Whilst Saints seem to be struggling . A game against one of their rivals will probably focus their mind.
34 -12 to you guys.

Just seen McDermott's interview on superleague fulltime. Sounds like he is getting his excuses in early for Friday. If they lose is is all down to the energy expended in the WCC.

Need to start with a quick tempo similar to last season. Just watched this weekends Bradford game we were allowed a lot of quick play the balls, don,t think we will get that with Leeds.
Think we need to keep the ball alive as much as possible and play with plenty of energy.

Where did you see the Bradford game? Can I see it?

Waste of 2 changes

I know, I thought the changes only counted as one change. Seams a bit of a flaw as it's not like he played.

There should a confirm button really, so you can play around with it without having to work it out in your head before hand. Glad Hardaker's not playing, he's looked pretty good since he moved to full back from the centres.

Leeds will be bumped and bruised after last week, but so is my wallet. I'll be there and I'll be interested to see just how many Loiners make the trip from hell around the M62 during the Friday night rush hour. I'm a greedy man, I like the fact you are our "grand final bitches", but when I'm shelling out I'd like to see us be a bit more competitive during the regular season as well. If we don't give Saints a real good run for their money I'll be getting a little miffed to be honest. Let's hope there's a big crowd and it's a close game whoever wins.

Ah the old chestnut of GF.

It does make you wonder if it will bite clubs in the backside, if crowds take the same attitude as coaches to the regular rounds?

You are our "regular round bitches". Genuine question, but when was the last time that you beat us in the regular rounds? It wasn't last year, or the year before I know that....

I'd be miffed if we did not win on Friday, we seem to be improving week by week and hopefully we will see a more consistent performance than we saw on Sat - we switched off second half after having a near perfect first half.

We need to play at a quick pace and really test Leeds' fitness levels, last week would have taken a lot out of them.
