We are an utterly, utterly one-dimensional team playing a side that can, when they get it right, match us in the forwards, utterly annihilate us in the backs with talent, plays and moves we couldn't ever hope to emulate or counter in our wildest dreams, and that has a kicking game. The game will be played at a venue that suits you and where you will be under less expectation and pressure which is generally your undoing in playoff games. We will also inevitably be playing against the referee after seeing the shocking treatment Leeds got tonight confirming the RL's determination to avoid another Leeds/Saints final at all costs. We can't beat you tomorrow - you can only beat yourselves and that is our only chance of victory.

As leeds showed tonight, if you contest the forwards and bring your back line out to suffocate the ball in the backs
then both of us are on the same level and i agree that the kicking game is so important. You have a hefty set of
forwards who could trudge over any set of potential back moves by congesting the middle of field and leaving
no space for myler and briers to operate. Funnily enough, i wonder whether it would be too much of a gamble
to do a dink kick through the defence on say the 2nd or 3rd when the defences are moving up and the full-
back is unaware. I think it's going to be really close to call. The points you have made make a lot of sense,
I do believe that your forwards however can block the potential of expansive rugby in our back play.
