Pretty much looks like Leeds starting 13 other than Miller.

Probably for about 15 minutes then it will be all change just like us. It’s a good way to sell tickets giving the supporters a chance to see the new signings.

True, though Leeds appear to be starting with a lot more of their starting team on paper.

To say the Trinity team has a lot of firepower out of still looks highly capable. Good to see.

I would imagine Newman also making the 13 as well as Miller.
Newman needs to have some pressure on him the way he played last season.

5 of us going.

Looking forward to it

I did think he was very lucky to get in the England squad tbf.

He is still playing though I think but on the bench, no doubt will play a good 40 mins or so.

Jowitt
Johnstone
Pratt
Mckmeeken
Hood
Atoni
Pitts
Bain
Griffin
Doyle

Leaves a fair amount to come in to the Trinity 13/17. Don’t think you can take too much from Boxing Day but will be good to see some new players get a run out.

I’d imagine we will see a full squad more or less vs Cas.

Does anyone know how many tickets we have sold for the Boxing Day game?

Whino's now missing their second choice full back too... https://www.totalrl.com/leeds-rhinos-fu ... -accident/

Quote ="FIL"Whino's now missing their second choice full back too... https://www.totalrl.com/leeds-rhinos-fu ... -accident/'" This actually makes Rhinos even stronger. Probably starting almost with what you’d expect their 13. Connor who’s far more experienced at full back will play there and Newman will likely start.

Oh dear, SARL reporting Leeds are missing a massive 6 players (including 4 young players).

However will they cope against a full strength Trinity missing Jowitt, Johnstone, Pratt, Mckmeeken, Hood, Pitts, Atoni, Griffin, Bain, Doyle and Matty Russell.

Poor Loiners.
Makes you want to throw up.
I often feel like that when I read anything about them.

It's a friendly so it's all about performance both individually and as a team rather than result but I'm particularly keen to see Russell and Trueman together.
They are the key to our whole season.

Don`t think Leeds are complaining about those youngsters not getting a game.
Arthur already stated he wants to see how the players are performing following pre season training and was always going to play the new signings.
The only disappointment for me is Edgell missing out and he could have played McCormack or Lumb at FB but Connor is at FB and Newman in at centre.
The biggie for me is him wanting to make Handley a centre when his defence isn`t that good.

It’s not Leeds club. Just poor ‘journalism’ (if it can be called that). Although Edgell may be a disappointment Connor is the better full back currently.

I just hope fans don’t judge too much with half a first team out against a strong Leeds team.

As PT says it’s more about the combinations and performance and the result doesn’t matter.

I agree on that, regarding Russell and Trueman

Another blunder by the club ticketing app. Once is a mistake but the ship needs tightening up.

It's no wonder that rugby league has no money when you see how hard it is to work with the Super League Plus app.
This is simple Tech but it's not easy to give them money.

Which is very important these days. I’d pay a little more for something that’s more simple to use and efficient than something that takes my time. Time is the most valuable in this day and age. It’s in short supply for everybody.

I am a little peeved off that I will be handing my money over to Leeds Rhinos for a ticket and even more so that it’s our own clubs fault.

Yes totally agree and recognise we will have pretty much our starting 13 out there.
It`s a tricky one as on the one hand it`s good to let the youngsters get some game time.
Then us fans moan we`ve paid good money to see the kids.
On the other hand playing a full strength team against a load of kids shows us nothing other than how the combinations are working from what we put in to pre season.
I think the gate money is split 50/50 for these games once GH takes out his Christmas bonus.
Merry Christmas to all you Trinity fans and good luck for the season ahead.

This year trinity only get the money for tickets sold through trinity before game day.

Tickets have been unavailable today and previously sold out meaning fans are having to buy from Leeds direct and basically giving Leeds the money instead of Trinity.

It’s very unlikely the new regime to allow things like this to happen. As a fan I’m disappointed to be contributing to the Leeds club when i should have the option to give my money to the club I support.

I won’t let that detract from the experience tomorrow though.

Leeds may start stronger looking at line ups but there will be parts where it’s even and momentum swings. So long as it’s entertaining and efforts there in spades I’m not bothered about a win.

Tickets for tomorrows game have been on sale for weeks. Just saying like.

Irrelevant, that would 100% apply had the deadline been missed for sale. That would be my and other fans fault. You don’t advertise something as a business and fail to deliver. Had the ticket sales not been extended I would have purchased them beforehand.

I’m very pro trinity and full of praise for the good things the clubs done over the past 13 months but I’ll also highlight and talk about things it needs to improve. Such as sold out ticket error last week and the tickets removed from sale despite communications stating availability.
