Begorrah, you have caught me out. Let's hope our "luck" changes on Sunday.

were at home so that will turn the tides compared to last time, the back line of leeds is still very strong so ours need to be on the money. Tough one to call.

Just been watching the Bradford DVD and I have a concern that along with White, who we know is out for a while, Hanbury struggled throughout and I'm sure DB said he had blurred vision and Cahill went off with an ankle injury.

We can ill afford to lose either player for Sunday, but neither injury sounds good so i wonder if they will be risked?

Hope that we take heart that we played so poorly at Headingley but still could have got something from the game. With a couple of props back, we should be able to get on top on this one.

We need to watch Sutcliffe, he's going to be a top player.

Always got a chance if the team believe in themselves and defend better.It is how much the players want it and we have home advantage.

Re: Chances Against Leeds? : Fri Jun 28, 2013 7:31 am  

We're at home getting back to be full strength (have we ever had a fully fit squad in 18 months). This is a game that given Leeds's injury problems we should be winning, especially at home. Their back line still has plenty of quality so if we can keep them quiet we will win.

Re: Chances Against Leeds? : Fri Jun 28, 2013 10:32 am  

Is there any news on Hanbury and Cahill? The Club have announced White's injury, presumably because it is long term, but nothing on Hanbury or Cahill. The fact that Hanbury opted to play on was encouraging, so you get the impression that he will play if he can.
Cahill has always given the impression that he would play on through the pain!

Obviously you dont want anyone to play if they are going to be below par and or if they are going to make an injury worse, but Hanbury is right back in form and caused Leeds a few problems at Headingley so they will be very wary of him. Cahill is close to his best too so he would be missed, but we do have a bit more cover in the back row, especially if Cross is fit and can free up Kav to cover there, but we also have Winterstein, OK neither of them offer what Cahill does.

As others have said home advantage should give us an edge, but Leeds will be fired up after their loss to Huddersfield.

Really looking forward to coming over on Sunday, and i agree with the sentiment on here that you guys have a good chance to turn us over. We may have our first choice backline playing this week, and the young lads in the forwards are improving all the time, but defensively we're struggling. If you manage to punch holes in us like you did at Headingley, you'll have every chance of getting the points in a high scoring game.

Either way i'm looking forward to the trip, and hope the best team wins, as long as its Leeds

Enjoy the game mate and is a tough one to call as your squad is quality.

Re: Chances Against Leeds? : Fri Jun 28, 2013 4:15 pm  

I think our chances have dropped since Cahill isn't fit.

Oh, damnation.
