So do I, I even bet on Leeds making the top 4 this season.

That's not the part of your post that's lame though, as you know.

It was but when has the truth ever mattered to bargain basement trolls on here.

So he thinks they can win the GF that says he must think they are a top 4 side - semantics

If the coach thinks they are that good then beating Huddersfield should be a breeze

I said they would beat Wakefield easy as they are a terrible side and so it proved - and I expect them to do the same to Huddersfield who are nearly as bad

Swapping the word "can" for "will" isn't semantics.



Well done on predicting Leeds would beat Wakefield at home, no one saw that coming!
I predicted a 24 point victory in the predictions thread, a thread that you avoid like the plague for some reason.
If Trinity had kicked one of those easy conversions i'd have been bang on.

If Hudds are so bad, how come they're the only side to earn a point against Wigan this year, and at the DW ?
I expect us to win this weekend too but if Hudds have turned a corner, like we seem to have done, then it could go either way.

Would a draw not be OK for us this week?

Huddersfield played Wigan on a filthy day weather wise as did Salford with Cas.

This is a team that got beat 38-0 by Leigh and conceded nearly 50 to Hull

If the club have top 4 aspirations then they need to beat teams like this easily - I expect Leeds to win comfortably by 20

I have never entered the predictions competition since its inception so not going to start now - no issue have a side bet with you on predictions you against me

I ordered tickets from Hudds website yesterday afternoon.

No booking/carriage fees (unlike at Leeds).

Tickets already arrived in the post

I can't stand booking fees.

What's wrong with being offered a £2 discount on the price of a ticket if bought in advance, only to be then hit with a £1.50 booking fee?





Purchasing tickets from Hudds instead by plenty

Old GH knows exactly what he's doing doesn't he. Sly old fox.

You sure go to a lot of SL games for someone who claims he doesn't go to SL games anymore.

Re tickets. Leeds probably need to employ a few more people than Huddersfield AND can get away with adding a booking fee as they'll still sell bucket loads regardless.
Huddersfield don't need to employ anyone for such a miniscule task. They also can't risk losing even a single sale so daren't add a booking fee add just in case it pees someone off.

Leeds by plenty (about 10,000 actually)




Who needs opposition fans trolling your board when you have your very own village idiot doing it on a daily basis eh.



Also, your joy at saving £2 by not buying from Leeds is[i duly noted[/i too. That'll show Evil Gary won't it!



.

it wasnt raining in wigan on sunday for our game, but it was windy and chilly!

it was 30-0 not 38-0 and didnt reflect the game against leigh, we dominated possession and territory but couldnt score, our attack was awful (gaskell moved to half back to replace brierley against wigan) but leighs defence pretty good too., leigh score 3 tries in the last 8mins...

forget the hull fc game , we played a bunch of kids, average age of the team was 19 that night.

should be a good game friday night, just favour a leeds win but we have a decent record against you so may get the win again

...

Sheeesh! Looks like someone's in for a summer of excitement. Don't forget the sunblock

I'll be watching a lot of cricket at Headingley and Scarborough during the summer as always.

[iExcitement[/i doesn't quite nail the experience.

The adjective [iMeditative[/i is much closer

the conditions were fine against wigan

wigan losing two players early on when already depleted levelled it, mind you they had the refs help and we missed drop goal opportunities!

9 players missed the hull fc game for us. not to mention a last min withdrawal in the warm up at full back too.

Is brough playing this week?

Thread cleaned up, please keep on topic. Thanks

So Leeds having no training facilities and a huge injury list for most of last season wasn't a valid reason for them struggling but a bit of cold weather? Now that's a different story!

I don't even know what to say Sal.





Leeds had more than 60 put past them on the same night as Hull battered Huddersfield's reserves, so what's your point again?



Are Wigan's top 4 aspirations over then? Hudds have beaten Leeds more often than not over recent years and we've still finished top 4 and won stuff. I won't be panicking should we lose, as long as we play well.



"so not going to start now"



My predictions are in the predictions thread every week, i'm not doing it twice.
I'll be predicting a Leeds win this week but not because of same made up statement that our coach never said..

I recall when we lost to Widnes away mid-way through the 2015 season that another poster said teams and coaches who win trophies don't lose at places like Widnes......seem to recall a piece or two of silverware at the end of the year.

I fancy us to win at Hudds but I always find it funny when someone writes off a teams chances if they lose a game you might not expect them to, because whichever 4 teams finish in the Top 4 they all will at some point lose unexpectedly.

Adverse weather conditions will always even up a contest - how many GF's did Leeds win when it rained at OT



My point is pretty obvious - well it is to anyone who can read and comprehend which kind of excludes you but for the avoidance of doubt. If Leeds have top 4 aspirations they should be capable of beating teams like Huddersfield. I personally think the Huddersfield squad is on a par with Wakefield so I would expect similar results to the previous week. Leeds fans have complained about poor recruitment but Huddersfield's has been even worse

Wigan have shown what they are capable of and few would argue that they will be there or there about come the end of the season - if they had played Huddersfield on dry calm day I doubt the score would have been so even.

I am happy to enter the predictions competition but given I have missed the first 5 weeks am i not at some disadvantage?

I think Leeds will win easy not because the coach said anything just because Huddersfield are such a poor side - even you must be able to comprehend that

It's a good job there was no wind or rain on Friday when we played Wakefield.

Leeds would have lost those games at OT when it rained, had it not rained.

Leeds have no chance of making the top 4 if they lose an away game this week to a team that earned a draw at Wigan last week.

I love it on here, me.

We might have won by more! Just like at OT.
