Friday we play Hull FC, without Briscoe, Moon, Hall, Cuthbertson, Ward, Keinhorst, Achurch, Walters, Ferres. Delaney has an outside chance but it doesn't sound too likely he will play.

Hardaker
Handley Watkins Sutcliffe Golding
McGuire Lilley
Garbutt Falloon Galloway
Ablett JJB
Singleton

Burrow Baldwinson Mullally Hallas/Smith/Delaney

So it's looking like:

Briscoe - 8 weeks
Moon - 2/3 weeks
Hall - 4 weeks
Cuthbertson - 1/2 weeks
Ward - 12 weeks
Delaney - 1/2 weeks
Keinhorst - 3/4 weeks
Achurch - in a boot (4 weeks estimated)
Walters - 4 weeks
Ferres - 3 weeks

so it looks like our usual damp evening at headingley on friday

rain forecast so far

Re: Whinos (A) : Mon Apr 11, 2016 11:39 am  

Any win at Leeds is a good win, just because they are down on numbers due to injuries and on the back of a dreadful start doesn't mean they can't turn us over.
Contined refocusing, prep like it's a do or die game and try to cut out the headless chicken moments that give the opposition chances to score and thus hope/confidence.
Really not confident with this one, we have the team, the coach is doing the right things right now and getting us winning if not spectacularly.
If that continues Friday and we sneak a one point win then that's another W in the column.

In normal circumstances you would say rain is good for us given our size advantage, but Leeds attack has looked so disjointed that it probably helps them.

Re: Whinos (A) : Mon Apr 11, 2016 5:34 pm  

Just remember they beat Saint's a few weeks back. I am cautiously optimistic but won't believe it till the final whistle blow.s

Re: Whinos (A) : Mon Apr 11, 2016 7:50 pm  

Another potential banana skin. Play like we have done and we'll do them, just need to view them as a wounded predator because they'll look a lot more like Leeds of 2015 if we let them get any sort of a roll on.

Not sure a potential loss to the treble holders can be considered a 'banana skin' no matter how poor their current form. Especially given our record there.

Agreed, I'd have it down as our best chance for a long time to turn them over, but we mustn't be complacent, but Radford seems to have addressed that in recent games.

Maybe not a 'Banana Skin' but currently it is a games like this we should not be losing if we are wanting to be a team that challenges at the top. Huddersfield was a test of the character and a game we would have lost previously.

Leeds are still a dangerous team even with the injuries they have but its a game we should win if we play for 80mins. Its wouldn't devastation if we were to lose at Leeds but it would be a massive chance missed to beat them, further build a winning character and habit within the club.
