Just looking at our side that won at Headingley back in May this season from 16 points down. We were missing Lomax,Swift,Meli,Hohaia and Roby that day! We've got reason to give ourselves a chance here, dry track is forecast that can only help us.

if the Leeds team that showed up against Wire and against you in May performs to that standard i think you have more than enough reason to be optimistic, infact i have no doubt you will beat us as you have looked in decent form for a while now and with key players back too.Thing is, this is normally the time Leeds kick it up as gear with it being knock out from here on in, and we as Leeds fans would expect a response from last weeks game.That said you wonder if, and there has to be a time soon when this Leeds team goes to the well one too many times and comes up empty.Hopefully not Friday!

Should be a great game, and hopefully both sides will play to their maximum.If they do, i fancy us to just edge it with home advantage.really looking forward to it.

That's the thing. How many times have we thought, well we will beat them this year. Trust our bogey team to be the team we meet in the Grand Finals.

Looks like we are sticking with the same squad as last week.
Maybe in the hope they can`t play any worse.

Re: Team for Friday : Wed Sep 18, 2013 2:45 pm  

Friday could go either way in truth, cases can be made for both sides to win. I just feel Saints are on a roll and playing with confidence, not to mention having key players fit and firing.

Same team for me, and Saints by 4.

Our best hope is that Leeds are still a bit battered from the Warrington game
It'll be twice as hard as last week, and I can't call it

Same team then

Re: Team for Friday : Wed Sep 18, 2013 7:06 pm  

Just watched Super Leauge backchat from last night. I couldn't believe how they just went on about Leeds & Huddersfield making the Semi Finals without any consideration to yourselves or Hull until the very last few minutes.
I'm looking forward to it as a neutral hoping its a good a game as you had the last time you went there.

Re: Team for Friday : Wed Sep 18, 2013 9:34 pm  

Same team for me.

Yep. Why change it?

We need to start well. Can't afford another start like Warrington at home.

We have to be confident: all the pressure and expectation is on Leeds. We also have absolutely nothing to lose considering the four teams above us have been far better all year.
