I've not found anything to say that you can, just this on their website...

Please be aware in person sales from Leeds Rhinos Ticket Office at Headingley Stadium are currently unavailable.

Hi fc, your probably best ringing Headingley, I believe the gate attendance is 10,000 due to restrictions, you’d think that figure would not be reached, but apparently when Leeds v Wakey played recently the attendance was around 8000 for a friendly, crazy really with all these restrictions being eased now. As I say probably ring the club, things may have changed mate.

Just seen that Featherstone have signed Adam Cuthbertson, surely he'd have been an option for us and is still a decent player, I cannot believe we haven't strengthened a bit more.
It is all well and good having everyone fit for round 4, but, I'd rather be 2 or 3 from 4 than possibly 0, although I still think the Wakefield game is winnable, if we don't get any more injuries against Leeds. Fingers crossed tightly!

No non fed places left.

We knew about Evan's, but I suppose they didn't expect, Taylor, Bowden, Mau and Satae to all be doubtful.

I said before, but either Chris Hill or Westerman would have been very good signings for us.

I think either of them may have given the club too much of a cap hit had we signed them. Hodgson seems to have a set list of requirements for a player to be considered for signing. It does seem the club are still open to bringing in someone to improve the side not just for the sake of it which I think is the right aproach.
Hopefully Satae, Bowden and Mau will all be back for the Leeds game with Evans to come in not long after.

I think Wire offered Hill a years extension, but he declined, taking up a two year deal with Huddersfield, although Chris Hill would have been a very good signing, not sure AP would of, or indeed could have matched Huddersfield offer, especially when he’ll be around 35 near the end of it.

Apart from last season with Wakey, we’ve had the best out of Westy, I’m more concerned with this continuous upper/lower leg injuries we seem to plagued with, perhaps running up and down hills and meadows, and sparring with boxers are training methods from days of yore.

Especially when you consider our miserable ends to seasons recently, perhaps a complete overhaul of our training methods could be more productive, rather than jumping in trying to sign anything with a number eight or ten on their shirts. Not aimed at you Dave, just seems like Groundhog Day to me.

The modern boots the players now wear have a lot to do with achilles and calf injuries we see now all too often in our game.
The club should invest a little in specialist sports orthotics.
These type of injuries were identified in athletics especially in track athletes who were wearing lightweight track shoes which had little foot support.
Now many International track athletes wear specialist support sports orthotics which have to be designed for the individual athletes feet.

How do you know players are not using them?

Just watched the latest pre season video the club have put out. Sure I saw Shaul in a boot
