Unthinkable maybe but, would you be surprised? I wouldn't be!

Not only do Wakey have a few injuries they`re also complaining about the ref.
Maybe Kendall dislikes all Yorkshire teams bar Giants.
No disrespect to Wakefield but we should be beating them considering the 2 squads.
Good thing about Wakefield is their determination not to roll over.
Still think us by 10 but a defeat wouldn`t surprise me either.

Mik apparently did 71 mins last week. I commented on the Rhinos FB post about this that if the pack had enough depth Oledzki wouldn't have to be flogged for 71 minutes. Who should like the comment but his dad, hmm...

Some good honest, pragmatic and positive pregame interviews. Hope it translates on the pitch tomorrow.

Seriously you shouldn’t. Perhaps at Headingly. I look at the two squads and frankly I’m stunned how little there is between them. Do a 17 v 17 and as for depth it’s even tighter.

You have a few more names but that’s all, only Sezer is a class above imho.

Having said all that you’ll thump us now

Not really. Wakey away never easy either

Interesting and shows Mik agrees with that as I’m sure that would have popped up in conversation with his Dad. I totally agree btw

Im not sure losing away at Wakey n a rainy night would be that much of a surprise, we haven’t actually got a great record at their place have we?

I feel like Prior never returned after going off. Is this something to do with it?

No we haven't but if we go 0-4 it could do serious damage to our ambitions of a good season this year. It's a big game is this imo if we are to have a hope of a good season.

Looking at the Wakefield squad here is a list of players I’d select ahead of their Leeds equivalent

Tom Johnstone

You are probably right but I feel we just edge you squad wise.
It`s the coaching I worry about.
Glad I`m not a betting man as anything is possible tonight.
Hoping the rain holds off.

The weather forecast from lunchtime onwards is continual rain. Will make the game a hard dour affair in which tactics will be crucial . With a pair of experienced half backs that we have, we should be in a good position - but am I confident in them and the coach to produce the goods ???????

should hopefully be a good game. anyone know if you can turn up and pay to get in or do i need to pre-buy

Not rained in Wakey all day until 5 minutes ago 4pm.

Really don't like this chucking all the props on from the start and having no bench impact. Not sure what Briscoe will do there. Will see...

Briscoe on the bench! Can only think they are planning to move Sutty into the 2nd row at some point. Can't say I'm encouraged by tonight's selection, but fingers crossed we get the win.

Briscoe shouldn`t be in the 17 that`s for sure.

Interesting shout. I'd have just gone with O'Connor over Briscoe.

You're not sentimental enough.

Wakey running with 5 props tonight, will that give them an edge keeping momentum down the middle as we bring just Thompson on... I'm of the mind that we'd go better starting Smith and having Tet up against fifita when he comes on rather than our tiring 3. All the more reason the spine and 3/4 need to up their game.

Completely agree. I don’t understand why we keep putting Tet at 13 and start with 3 props. It’s absolutely bonkers, we never get on top of the other side pack anyway. Start with Smith or O’Connor at 13 and at least have some bang to bring on from the bench

Looking at their side tonight, if we cannot beat them we really are in trouble, Leeds by 16-20 points.

God knows why Briscoe is on the bench. Doesn't deserve to be in the 17 after the last few games

Lovely Gannon try
