I think Wakey will go well this year, and we seldom get an entirely easy ride from Cas. At the very least they'll be physical, which will be good preparation for the WCC.

Rovers fan?

Is t' WCC match live on t' telly?

Yeah. He knows you fail the postcode test.

Are these the same as the first four rounds from last year, just with the home and away teams reversed?

No mate we played Salford at home after the WCC and then finished the season at their place.

Sorry mate - no offence intended. I thought your avatar was a robin.

why beetnik will you not be in attendence? go sit in your front room like alot of the glory hunting Whinos out there.

i fail the post code test? without even being tested? sounds a bit arbitrary to me.

Actually, I've been to all the Rhinos WCC finals to date, have a season ticket and go to a fair proportion of away games. However, it's a long way back from Tanzania for one game so I'd like to be able to record it. There, I've risen.

Now tell me - is it something in the air where you live that leads you to disparage someone who you know nothing about, your innate personality or something else? - I'd like to know.

Its the combination of Garforth and Hunslet, doomed to failure right form the start.

Hey look everyone, its' a Hunslet fan.

Be careful now, don't scare it off. These things are very very rare indeed and will be extinct, like the club they support, very soon.

Feel free to take photographs.

Interesting comment from coach McClennan in and amongst [url=http://www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=rleague/10/01/28/manual_153651.htmlthe pre-amble to tonight's match[/url:

[i"We really want to get off to a good start this year," he said. "You don't get a second chance to make a good first impression. We'd like to make a good first impression this year and perhaps fire a shot over everyone's bow and say 'this is the Rhinos for 2010'. We want to start really strong. We've got a World Club Challenge to prepare for. We felt we under-achieved last year and we'd like to go into that feeling a lot more confident about ourselves."

It's pleasing to see the men that matter within Headingley are determined to correct the mistakes from last season. The CEO has done his job re the squad, now it's over to the coach and players to make us even prouder.

i feel, and said at the time, that the club wrote off the WCC last season because of the amount of players at the world cup. i felt they didn't try to peak for the game, but for the end of the season when it mattered. and i have to say they got it spot on

While I accept the World Cup had an effect Leeds had the blueprint from 2008 for getting the players up for both the WCC and the SL play offs in a single season and I share their disappointment at letting the WCC slip through their fingers all things considered.

Bluey said similar in the interview on Rhinos tv - about putting a marker down for the rest of the league.

Crusaders, Castleford and Wakefield always looked a tricky opening.

Ooh your gonna pay for that!

I know hindsight's a wonderful thing but this thread is great reading.

Now I tell what has been truley great Reading is our grand final bitches forum where the knee jerking, moaning, faithless drivel has been monumental, topped off by the biggest turn about from the majority of no believers who post on it! a truley shameful display fron the back to back to back GF losers.

TBF I felt the same as G1 and expected us to be at least 5-0 after the Quins game. That no disrespect to the other teams, just looking at our squad it should have been reality. Its not though... ho hum. Ill live, and im sure we will be in the last 4 come the playoffs.
