Sutcliffe has a dead leg but "should be alright".

I've got no problem with Keinhorst playing centre, he did a good job in Watkins' previous absence.

Agree with all that, especially Clarkson. I thought he was superb. Ran some good lines and ran hard but was brilliant in defence. Even knocking Poore back.

I have no problem with keinhorst in the weekly rounds against the likes of wakey and london but still think he would be exposed against the top sides if watkins isnt fit to make the play offs.if this scenario occurs i would still go back to ablett everytime.

I would prefer sutcliffe in the centre with Sir Kev back at 6.

LINE-UPS
Leeds: Gaskell; Broughton, McGoldrick, Gleeson, Williams; Sneyd, Fages; Griffin, Godwin, Jewitt, Ashurst, Dixon, Wild.
Replacements: Foste, Moore, Delaney, Keinhorst.

weird line-up from leeds if you ask me. bloody BBC.....

No wonder we were gash

I’ve stood on the Western Terrace for at least the last 10 years and have encountered supporters from every club. Standing with the away support you tend to hear calls for offside or forward and the odd dig at the ref for missing a high-shot or laying-on but last night I don’t think I’ve ever heard a more deluded and misinformed bunch than those from Wakefield.

These morons really need to read the rule book regarding crossing. Every, and I really do mean every time we passed behind a dummy runner there was a united cry of “crossing” which was closely followed with calls that ref was an idiot and didn’t have a clue.

By the end of the game there was a couple of inbreds telling us that “you only won because Hetherington has the RFL in his pocket”.

These guys could put McCain out of business with the size of the chips on their shoulders.

You my man need to choose your words more careful.

Calling a whole away support in a general "morons" and "deluded" is not very appropriate at all.

There was one clear crossing which interfeared with a defender but was missed. There were the odd others where Leeds did run behind their own men but I'm fine with those not been penalised as there was no direct/indirect obstruction or infringements on wakefields defensive line.

It's quite sad you feel the need to spend more time listening to oppositions supporters and rubbish anyone else's individual opinions on matters as you obviously are the big I am and know the rule book. Well done, please feel free to take a self made podium the next time we visit and tell us the errors of our ways oh mighty one.

"rubbish anyone else's individual opinions on matters"... really??? The opinion I was rubbishing was from one of your fellow supporters who believed that Leeds won because, and I quote "Leeds have the RFL in their pocket".

The reason I rubbished this opinion was because it IS rubbish.

I thought that we wanted a win with a really close score line to guarantee a bumper crowd next week at Belle Vue (or whatever it's called these days) as part of GH's ongoing crusade to offer help to all the other clubs in superleague.

I don't believe I commented on that last part of your post. I was more commenting on the first part where you appeared to just generalise the whole away support and brandish them clueless etc.

The last paragraph which you states was from a few would most likely be sour grapes from our support and like you say was from one/ few of supporters. This is what it is and there are always people like this. Can't see why it would get to you.

People react in different ways to a loss and this supporters outburst id guess purely out of frustration I hear allsorts from individuals after opposition lose at Wakey but such as "that's the worst we've played all year" party line.

Some people are just like that. I tend not to take things so personally to post on them after or argue with them at the time. They will either be after a rise from you or it's just their coping mechanism to make them feel better after a loss that's all.

Anyway it was a strange game! Some top defence on show. Enjoyed it and looking forward to Leeds visiting Wakey. Again I think another 50/50 game could go either way.

Leeds were awful again, it's frightening how unstructured they are in attack, we made Wakefield look slightly better than average!!

Well if they went on total rl fans forum and expressed that opinion they would be banned immedietely

Maybe you met the fantasists behind this:

Think both teams were full of effort, in fact from Wakey and Leeds it was top class and the defence was very good from both. But in terms of attack both teams were woefull. I think that's down to Leeds had inexperienced halfs and we had only tim smith and it was strange we played with no number 6 really.

A game to applaud the effort and defence of both teams but to be critical of in attack.

Excellent crowd. Glad this game wasn't on Sky.

That's pretty much how I saw it too.
I think Leeds were going sideways too often in attack and needed someone to straighten up and just take the ball in (or run a line)

No you're wrong, the reaction from the Wakefield fans was either to get a rise out of me or sour grapes. They certainly wouldn't go onto a forum and post about it, Trojan Horse says so.

aaah how ive missed sir oli from SLFs..... that guy is deluded and pretty mental......

Abolutely. Got sick of seeing Burrow crab along the line with nobody offering a decent direct run to offset it (still not sure Burrow would have passed however)



If not for the individual brilliance of Leeds' two centres I'm pretty sure Leeds would have lost against an equally hapless Wakefield. Who said SL standards are not slipping????

I enjoyed the trip up to Leeds and glad we didn't leave heading for the game much later: only just got a parking spot on my usual road and North stand tickets after assuming there would not be much of a crowd!! Whoops !

GH should pray to god(s) more often for good weather

I think we needed 2 points to keep our grip on 4th (3rd is more or less gone and I'd still rather finish 4th than 5th whatever sme might say) and we got them. Which was good.

Other than that, as others have said a lot of effort on show, but poor execution on attack. I actually don't think Wakey are a bad side this year, and have looked a threat in attack when I've seen them. I don't think they'll perform that badly going forward next week, so if we want another 2 points, we'll have to play better.

Wakie spent alot of their juice with their line speed in defence and it worked for the most part, Leeds couldn't bust them down the middle. So our poor execution was partly down to their workrate in defence and pushing us out wide.

I think you'll find that no other team appears interested in finishing 4th in SL. Some are in fact doing their level best to avoid finishing 4th at all costs... the Whipping Boy French Fancying SL Rabble immediately spring to mind. You'd assume they'd make it less obvious by not losing away at Salford but I guess they've learnt from Leeds regular season visit to their midden last season for inspiration.

Wakey struggled with ball retention.
You cant win too many SL games with 50-60 % completion rates !

Leeds completion rate was 64%, Wakeys was 63%
