No Stevie Ward either.

I'm looking forward to this one, always good to get away from the family for a bit and walk off a bit of xmas dinner!

Looks like you've got a decent side out again, nothing worse than turning up for this game and Leeds have sent the academy out!

Reckon Wakey will have a strong squad out as well, hopefully a decent game.

Yeah I've always enjoyed this game, breaks up what is otherwise a boring day after the hustle and bustle of Christmas day.

My lads playing boxing day, watch out for him, only young but an outstanding prospect!

there's no rhinoshaund 111 on the team sheet

They haven't released the team sheet yet. He'll be no 18 for Stanningley U7's at half time

i shall watch out

Is Ward injured? He appears to have been travelling a bit lately. I hope there are no issues.

Looking forward to the Trinity making it another win at Leeds on Boxing Day.

Hopefully we'll get the big signings like Fifita, Williams, Huby, Allgood and Hirst in the 17 with Caton Brown, Johnstone and BJB playing in the backs. Should be a good crowd.

That's because his pre season doesn't start until January because he was in the England squad.

Another quality festive treat

@leedsrhinos please do not let this be a precursor to the season ahead..

I'm not going to jump to any conclusions yet but....
LEEDS RHINOS ARE DEFINITELY GETTING RELEGATED IN 2017.

@leedsrhinos deja vu all over again one fears

@leedsrhinos gunna be fun in the middle 8's again this year then

@leedsrhinos they were sh** this time last year before the floods and used the excuse for poor season

12 months since the training ground flooded. What's the excuse going to be this year @leedsrhinos?

When ur positive about 2017 then Boxing Day reminds u that Mac is still in charge #LeedsRhinos

@leedsrhinos an absolute embarrassment, can i have my money back?

@leedsrhinos Maybe so but we look clueless.

I see @leedsrhinos are continuing on from the rest of 2016.........absolute rubbish.

@leedsrhinos ablett is definitely not captaining the side. Time to wake up for xmas. Oops missed that as well!!

I know it's only a friendly but with the team @leedsrhinos have put out today we should be at least competing!

Wow @leedsrhinos #PrayForLeeds #GladISavedMyBrass #SameOld

Well at least it's not a nil. Glad I didn't buy a @leedsrhinos season ticket this year.

@leedsrhinos oh dear!!! Still relying on the yesteryear players

@leedsrhinos what a pile of sh** that was and a waste of #money

I love my team @leedsrhinos but I really hope there's more than this next season, my heart can't take another middle 8's

Encouraging win for Wakefield in Festive Challenge. Back to drawing board for Leeds. Rhinos 6 Trinity 30 (Johnstone hat-trick).
Att: 10,337

my main concern last year was nobody seemed to be learning from mistakes. same errors week in week out.
now approaching the new season nothing has changed. nothing has been learnt. it's a shambles.
i'm sure we'll have the usual players to return, only a friendly stuff but how anyone can approach the coming season with optimism beats me

It's still 2016, therefore it can be swept under the 2016 carpet of excuses.

I'm massively optimistic for th coming season, and I know what to only a friendly, but it's not looking good is it. Too many players simply not good enough anymore or never likely to be good enough, or again the coach just clueless, we simply cannot rush another full season under McDermott unless we massively improve. We have a tough start and could easily end up loosing first four games.

And, as is the norm, you won the penalty count quite easily.
