Wow that is some injury list, real quality on it. We're only missing Anderson, Bailey, Sidlow, Parker & Gleeson.

Having said that despite those you have missing you still outnumber us in players who have played international RL 8 - 3, some squad you'vegot there, real selection headaches when they're all back fit



Looking forward to it, see you later.

I'm quite looking forward to tonight's game. Backs well and truly against the wall. It will be interesting to see the style of the play. Leeds need to complete sets but how do you do that without any forwards as your not going to make the ground without giving the ball some air. Its going to be a fine line on when to force it and when not too.
Looking out the window now its raining....that's all we need.

At least we'll have a nice new shiny television to watch all Salford's tries on.

Anyone tempted to switch senior and Watkins? Tighten things up a bit maybe

Are Smith & Bedsy definitely out tonight??

Could be a very long 80 mins tonight.

Surely cant go wrong with Salford +14?

In this game - unless you are Darren Lockyear - you are going to get hit by some big units coming at you at pace - if you haven't got the physical ability to stand up to that you will not last long before one of these tackles causes you a serious injury.

Whilst SL is not the NRL the guys in SL are still very powerful athletes who injure each other on a very regular basis.

Those "in the know" and of a similar worthwhile perspicacity agreed.....so why the need again for recognition ?

Does make you wonder why these so called paid professionals - making the actual real choices - get so much unquestioning acclaim from the multitudes.

Relax.

Leeds were only playing Salford.

Wouldn't be to cocky if I were you as you say Leeds were only playing Salford, wait until you come up against an average side, then one or two good ones.

Read the thread about the Leeds game on your board. You'll understand what a tool you've made yourself look like with this post.

Salford crumbled very badly.
Leeds took advantage of some pathetic tackling attempts.
It took Leeds 18 mins to complete a set. (unless I missed one).
Alibert got made some very bad calls, most notably Watkins' chip over the top and the Salford man was grabbing his waist pulling him back, incredibly Alibert and his touch judge missed it - Shocking.
Quite a number of southstanders managed to use use foul, abusive and racist language all in one chant - well done.......


Watkins and Hauraki had there best games in a Rhinos shirt.

A much improved performance tonight still concerns about Senior defensively imo but credit where credit is due Kirke ,Jjb and co worked hard to make the metres and Webb ,Watkins,Sinfield and Burrow ran the Salford side ragged.
It was'nt great to see some penalties for dissent (Webby and Jjb) but Alibert was awful especially in the 2nd half so hopefully it won't be a regular thing.
Shame about Bjb's injury and hope it's not too long term although the Abbo ,Watkins Centre/Wing partnership did the business.
Great to see young Singleton get a run out and he did alright imo and Mcshane looked sharp around the ruck.
Of course there'll suggestions abouit how weak the opposition were but that was because we were so dominant with a decimated team so the lads deserve the plaudits tonight.

I've little to no interest in low-intensity fixtures involving Super League whipping-boy clubs like Salford who will never be competitive and only exist to make up the numbers.

Leeds current form and coaching regime is inept and it's a tragedy that so many relatively comfortable SL fixtures are available to them throughout the season which only assist in papering over the cracks.

Super League is a de facto 4 or 5 team competition and beating rubbish teams like Salford means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Relax.

Leeds were only playing Salford.

When did French become an ethnicity? It's not racism? xenophobia maybe, out of order maybe? but never racism.

You did, our very first one! I commented on it being a good set to a mate. Our subsequent failures to complete were then blamed on me for putting the mockers on them.

National origin does come under racism as far as I'm aware. Either way it over stepped the mark, the ground announcements and big screen messages highlighted that.




must of been when I was at the bar


Well they certainly didn't do a very good job of completing many until the 18 min mark. We then forced 2 goal line drop outs and suddenly started to look like a Leeds Rhinos team.

If I had to sum up that performance in one word, comparing it to how we have played so far this season, that word would be "patient". We did lose the ball a bit in the first 20, and it was against lesser opposition, but on the whole it was a much more patient display with players waiting until the pass was on before giving it.

spot on. some idiots look for racism everywhere. and he is not a french b'stard.#


he's a useless, sh*t incompatant french b'stard

Actually, being French is an ethnicity, just in the way that being British is. Have you never filled out an equal opportunities form? Ethnicity is more about shared cultural traits whereas race is defined by common descent.

Anyway, any of the fringe squad players look good enough to retain a spot when the more experienced props start to come back?

Thanks for the insight Sweetcorn ! now I don't have to waste any more money on my annual season ticket ! Shame the crystal ball only sees into the future though.



Maybe they could do with your expertise then ? go on throw your hat in the ring



So your team are not in it then ? change Leeds for Quins



Shame you have no respect for the Men that take to the field.
