Which clubs colours will you be wearing this weekend, I cant keep up with your allegences.




In the main stand with the little lad cheering on my local club, come on Halifax!!

Leeds scarf with me Tiny, as per request, the Southstand will be very a very emotional place on Friday







Nice to see you turn up for the big games

Good man, I will raise a drink to the guy, I think you are right, I might shed a tear.









I'll have you know that I have been a few times this season, against Barrow, Featherstone and Widnes, in fact it seems you have a point!!

Ali may be missing with flu for this one.

Source?

You!

He didnt catch it from you aswell did he

How dare you!

So thats a no then

It's a very no

I had planned to go but now I've decided I can't be bothered going tonight.

I'll go next week though if we get through.

[iJohn Holmes is my only ever RL hero. The player I loved to watch when I was growing up (and then as a young adult), the player I always wanted to be in the playground rugby. I only met him once but it was a pleasure.

Thanks for the memories and RIP John, a true Leeds RLFC legend. [/i

I don't get to Headingley as often as I would like these days (part of the reason I moved to Lincoln was to make it physically impossible to follow the team as there was no breaking the habit while I lived up there, it still took a couple of seasons but I made it in the end)

Wild horses wouldn't be able to keep me away from Headingley tonight though.

You know what? You're right.

According to the Wigan board there is already more than 11500 tickets sold for their game.

Could be a bigger attendance than ours tonight.

I'd have thought that would be pretty obvious.

Good luck Leeds, hope both teams put on a game befitting the memory of Mr Holmes.

Hope you all have a cracking night and raise the roof of the southstand after the silence.

I'll see you all in Arc afterwards!

Id expect a sell out for their game given the 2 teams. Id be disappointed if there was less that 13k tonight though. Having said that I wont be there but im hoping its not too busy at work so I can nip away for the game.

Good game that I think in the scheme of things a hard workout against very determined opposition will pay dividends next week. Leeds play well when they have tough back o back games and I would rather that than a stroll tonight.

I completely share those sentiments - my heor too. Some of us are just too far away to have been able to make it tonight, but we were there in spirit. Truly moving to see so many heroes on the pitch at the beginning. And some of the play from McGuire, Burrow and Sinfield was a fitting commemoration to John Holmes.

Roll on Old Trafford

I sat in the north west corner tonight. Fantstic atmosphere with the French. I managed to remember some of my french and enjoyed a good laugh with them.
Great night, i was proven i had a right to be nervous!

All aboard for Manchester!

Brilliant night and i cannot wait for next week so excited!

But it has to be said (it wouldnt be the same without a bit of it) did Silverwood forget to bring his yellow cards? It was just unbelieveble! First the proffesional foul on Webb after his first half break - Silverwood saw it as a penalty but did it not cross the silly gits mind that thats a proffesional foul? Also he warned Bird about the messing at the ruck in the first half and it persistently carried on (at least 3 more penalties were given for messing at the ruck) but no cards were shown?

What a fantastic kick by Donald running at speed to set up McGuire for his second try, inch perfect and is one of the best tries i've seen this year.
Great result but they made it abit nervy in the second half, the defence on our left will have to improve for next week, Senior and Hall were getting drawn in leaving Duport to go in at the corner from scrums. Lots of silly penalties which i thought we'd sorted and silly mistakes from needless offloads which i'm sure Bluey will be working on during the week.
Hope Brent Webb is okay, it would be devastating for him if he was to miss another GF after missing last years. Any news on what it is and if Bailey will be okay also?

Hall was drawn in a few times whilst the rest of the team were sliding out. Although on one occasion it did look like Senior's man had gone round him.

Poor games from Hall, McGuire and Smith tonight. Peacock and Sinfield were immense.


If anyone dares tell me Brett Hodgson is more deserving of being shortlisted for MOS than JP then frankly they need a lobotomy.

I have to say i've been a fan of hodgson at times this season but for him to be shortlisted and JP not is a travesty imo.
I thought the dragons were good tonight and nearly caught us out but we got there in the end and i'd love to know how many warnings a ref is supposed to give before sin binning someone!!!!!!!
