Feel free to insert jokes about paint and how it dry's below.

When you look at the squad they have named, it reminds you why Leeds are favourites in most games they play.

If Ali L and Peacock are fit, they can overcome the loss of Webb and Burrow to win. If they aren't, Wigan will nick it.

quote from above link.
"I think they'll bite Wigan to win and I have a funny feeling in my water that this will be Leeds' year in the cup."

NO John thats just the fumes you've inhaled from the paint drying that you've been watching

just double checked the article on bbc - Leeds won't resort to biting if its not going there way will thay?

I expect Leeds to be fired up tomorrow - their poor start this season has put their SL chances in jeopardy, and their loss to us earlier this season will have hurt.

I hate to say it, but I expect a Leeds win tomorrow.

Sorry, but after all the whinging that came from this "man" (child might be more accurate), al I can say is.......

Fook Kear

it's about time he phoned home!

He has got one of the weirdest shaped heads I've ever seen. Anybody see his daughter on TV when they played Bradford? A bit of a looker to say the least.

Me too. Not confident at all.

I'd be more worried if burrow was playing but i think we will win

Yeah i'd hit it obv got mothers looks lol

I think we can beat Leeds but it will be close 4-6 points in it, Kear I use to respect this guy untill this season.

i'v said on other threads that i think we'll win this game by 6 points. we can go to there with no fear whatsoever, play like we have done so far this season and we can win.

Not wholly surprising he's not backing us. I'm surprised to read that he's looking forward to watching the game though. There's a sale on emulsion at B&Q

.................and I am not tipping Kear !

John, we aren't paying that expenses claim - get over it.

Good game last week an i am tipping you! come on WARRIORS!

all i can say to some people,oh ye of little faith.

Cheers mate! Good to have an ally in the valleys!

Tomorrow really could be a total classic imo. We've got 2 sides with a massive desire to win this trophy for different reasons. We're desperate to win it because we want to start the ball rolling on the trophy front again and prove that our start under Maguire isn't a flash in the pan and Leeds are desperate to win it because the Cup or even a final appearence has so far avoided them in this great period they're having.

I'm expecting an absolute corker with Leeds just about edging it(sadly).

It'll be a very tough one, our form dipped big time after the Wakefield game, we kept picking up wins but not the same clear cut ones that characterised the opening 10 games. Roberts coming back will be a big boost, but only if he's on his game, and I think if he has a good game we'll come away with the win, otherwise I don't see it.

If Roberts does come back in i'd play him on the right wing inplace of Goulding. It's a huge game to make a comeback in and Richards has been so solid at the back.

I really hope Amos makes it but if he does I also hope we ease him in.

I would stick him at full back we need paaat back on the wing asap amos can finish them anywhere and his positional play in attack and defence is very good

It's a very big ask to play a guy at fullback thats just coming back from a serious injury in such an important game with no warm ups under his belt. If anybody can come in and manage that then it's the 2010 version of Amos Roberts but I don't see the need in taking such risks. Pat has been playing very well at the back and Pryce has been doing a great job on that left wing. It would be a straight swap with Goulding imo as Roberts can still come in and hang around the middle in attack.

FWIW though I feel the debate is probably going to prove pointless as I don't think he'll be risked.

Kears thought's are frankly, like watching paint dry.
