Rob tweeted a few links for the game.

Three links on his tweets.. the two you given me on there and another one.

Hardaker
BJB
Watkins
Ablett
Hall
Ward
Sinfield
Leuluai
Lunt
Peacock
JJB
Delaney
Bailey

Moore
Kirke
Clarkson
Keinhorst

Hauraki and Griffin miss out, sure Griffin is just being given a rest before next week.

Is it just me, or do none of those links on RB's twitter actually work??

Losing 32-12 also Bailey on report!!

32-24 now 2 quick fire tries from Hall and Keinhorst!

38-34 it finishes. Great effort.

That's quick GMC sky score centre still says 32-24!!
Shame it was a great effort to come-bcak from 20 down.

Another slow start cost us then in the end we need to be much better next week but the comeback will raise the spirits.

I managed to get a live stream working for the last 15 minutes. Catalans were the ones that looked out on their feet at the end. With a weakened squad, the heat, and Wembley next week there's a lot to be positive about there.

6 tries each. Shame it took us so long to start playing

Still some weak defence and silly errors.

From the live stream that wasn't the best quality it looked like Watkins, Keinhorst, Hall, Ward and Lunt had good games!

Jimmy maybe in with an outside chance of playing next weekend, defensively very strong! Earned a couple of penalties, one from a chip over! Scored a try and put Hall in!

Credit for not giving up at 18-0 down and shows how wrong those people are who claim Leeds don't want to finish in the top 4 by not giving up. The start was poor but hopefully can be used to remind the players that they can't afford to do that next week. If we can take Warrington to half-time around about level on the score board then i'm confident we can pull it off.

As for Keinhorst, as good as he played still can't see him making the 17 if everbody comes through without injury and Griffin and Burrow to return. If Bailey misses out after being put on report he might start centre with Ablett to Loose.

Catalans were also playing with a weakened side.

They were missing one specialist prop, because Lopini Paea, Mickael Simon and Julien Bousquet were all unavailable because injured.
Also the legendary backrower Steve Menzies was out injured.

These missing players would have made a difference in attack and defence.

Great attacking effort from the lads who were without 2 of our key strikers and playmakers. Also credit to the coaches who really got the players to go for this one despite Wembley next week.

My so called live feed kept breaking down somewhere over the Cairngorms so didn´t see enough to form a balanced opinion. But it did look as though we could have won had we not knocked on as much as we did and Ward came through some early heavy hits to star.

Despite not winning this performance will put us in the right mood for Wembley where IMO we have to take the game to the Wires from the whistle as we did against Wigan. They obviously are firm favourites but they will have some doubts lurking at the back of some minds after last year and last night. Our game plan should not allow Briers any time and space and our forwards have to front up and don't allow theirs to get a roll on then we can apply the mental pressure.

We must prevent their momentum early doors and build our own. It will be difficult without McGuire but given an even roll of the official dice it can be done.

Was a few positional changes during the game bjb to full back hardaker to centre Watkins to the wing

Would be nice to one year have Catalans early in the season, to get it out of the way

When was the last time we won over there?! Seems like everytime we go over we lose!

2 seasons ago. We actually have a decent record against them.

Yet another tremendous regular season effort by the Leeds Rhinos in keeping with their exemplary season-long fight for a Top 4 spot on the SL ladder. Such has been the will and determination to produce regular season performances and results to match, they've managed to win the same amount of games as the Bradford Bulls. Yep, that's how convincing they've been all season and they've certainly convinced me.

It is to be hoped that the fans recognise this new and refreshing approach by the club towards regular season fixtures as they continue to mount their determined collective challenge for that valued Top 4 spot recognition.

When are next year's season tickets on sale?

I can't wait.

Rhinos 15 wins
Bulls 14 wins.
