Leeds game Monday Night : Sat Jun 15, 2013 11:19 am  

What are our chances of being competitive? Good? Bad?

We're obviously going to be missing a few still, and this is Leeds.

Re: Leeds game Monday Night : Sat Jun 15, 2013 12:35 pm  

It depends who we are able to call on to play. We badly missed Brown against Wigan, if he is able to play as he has indicated and we have a few more back such as Hock and maybe Cross, who would be up for a pop at his former club you would think.

Likewise the return of Marsh and Phelps to the centres would add to both our attack and defence.

It might just be our "St Helens" opportunity and if we can play as well at Leeds as we did at Saints then we have got to be in with a chance. Leeds' injury woes seem to be mounting, so I doubt we will have a better opportunity, although I have no doubt that as many of their fit players as possible will back up from the Exiles game!

I just hope we can get on the right side of the scoreline, to lose another nail biter would be hard to take!

Sinfield must be doubtful now after dislocating his thumb last night.

Without him they dont look so frightening.

Re: Leeds game Monday Night : Sun Jun 16, 2013 8:52 pm  

According to McDermott, Sinfields out for 6 weeks. He has an op tomorrow.

As a Leeds Fan I'm looking forward to this game more with the fact we have 8 first teamers out injured. That's no disrespect to you guys btw, but I think tomorrow should be a competitive game and I'm looking forward to seeing how our younger guys go on.

Leeds will probably line up,

Hardaker
BJB
Keinhorst
Moon
Hall
Sutcliffe
Burrow
Kirke
McShane
Peacock
Achurch
Clarkson
JJB

Moore
Singleton
Baldwinson
Minns

Sinfield's out and Leuluai apparently isn't backing up as he was 50/50 for Friday as it was.

However you look at it, that's still a strong side. We will have a good chance if we can keep it close by halftime and hope that fatigue starts to set in on some of your players who played Friday.
I'm hopeful we can capitalise on this opportunity to beat a weakened Leeds team, though I'm not betting on it!

Re: Leeds game Monday Night : Mon Jun 17, 2013 4:03 pm  

Leeds by 20-25 points

Re: Leeds game Monday Night : Mon Jun 17, 2013 5:05 pm  

Moon could be out so that's 9 out if true. I agree though, it is still a pretty strong side and I would be disappointed if we lost. I certainly won't be making any excuses if we do though. There's some future stars in that team so we'll have to see how the handle themselves for the next month or so.

Re: Leeds game Monday Night : Mon Jun 17, 2013 5:11 pm  

You should still beat is though and we still have a few missing.

When we throw the ball about a bit we look a really good side, but when we trundle up the middle we struggle.
