I'm not sure how many times we've won at Headingley in the last decade, but I don't think it's many.

Leeds on fire today against Salford, hitting 50 with ease. Journo comments on Twitter include:
"Leeds cutting Salford to pieces"
"This is getting farcical. 7 tries in 24 minutes"
"Salford been gubbed in this first half. Leeds hit their straps with sun on backs and McGuire kicking to perfection"
"Breathless stuff. Parcell outstanding."

Other context is that Wakefield effectively have a bye at Widnes.

The only aspects that may be in our favour are that Watkins may not get a head test (concussed today and 5 day turnaround), and maybe, just maybe, Ellis could be back to offset the absence of Kelly. Crikey, hope the weather forecast isn't rain. Forwards need a huge performance IMO.

I have a horrible feeling that Leeds will win the gf this year

Think we'll lose to them Friday but beat them at the Keepmoat in the semi.

I may regret this , and give mrs b some ammunition to use against me . But not a chance are leeds winning the gf, no way

Good confidence booster for leeds , but have you watched the tries, salfords defence as bad as it gets

Seems strange that. Could be in bother as well, footage of fan throwing beer at the ref.

Must have been 5hit beer

Reckon we will get beat on Friday but step it up for the semi final against them

still seats available for leeds away next week,£15

It all depends which Hull FC turn up at Headingley as to how the game goes. Been disappointed in the last two losses not because they were defeats but the manner in which we lost them. At Cas we pretty much gave them the 2pts with the errors we made and at St's we just didn't look at it at all really and thought we slow closing St's down and just never got going at all.

Would like to see us win on Friday but with our recent history of getting a result at Leeds feel whilst the team are more than capable it just ain't gonna happen and bumming is on the cards.

win for us fri and in the cup, oh ye of little faith

It's hard to have faith this year as there is such a large disparity between our good and bad performances. Last year, you knew what you would get, this year, it could be anything

to true, but hey ho am going for 2 wins,

The trouble is, we know how good we can be but don't know when we're going to produce it. Take our A game on Friday and we'll win, anything less and its 2 points lost.

That's the most frustrating thing, we can beat anyone on our day, but those days seem an increasingly distant memory, when did we last play consistently to our best for 60 (let alone 80) minutes?

No disciplinaries from saints game

Last win there was 2007. We have only won 3 and drawn 1 of our games there in SL.

Two ways of looking at this. Glass half empty - so far this season if we lose, we lose three on the bounce, so does a visit to Leeds give another unwanted hat trick

Glass half full - we have to break that hoodoo at some point. Easier said than done, but stifle their attack to less than 20 points ans we will the game as their defense is poor.

3rd fewest points against and thats with Cas putting on over a ton against us in 3 games.

Looks like we will be without Watkins, Burrow, Sutcliffe, Delaney, Ferres, Walters & Handley. Probable returns for Golding & Keinhorst. Won't be surprised if we line up:

Walker
Briscoe Ward Hall Golding
Mcguire Moon
Galloway Parcell Singleton
JJB Ablett
Cuthbertson

Garbutt Mullally Keinhorst Lilley

Wow. Was that the Nathan Blacklock game?

Me too. Off to both and me n our kid in lucky Jack Harrison shirts

Delaney is made of biscuit, Walters gets slagged off a lot on your board, as does Handley. Watkins and Sutcliffe are misses but the rest, not really

That was 2006 - Raynor scored a hat trick, Cooke was untouchable that night.

2007 - 17-6 win, Matty head drop goal and Wayne Godwins only FC try

I'm not sure why, the young lad's been outstanding the few times I've seen him this season! Takes everything thrown at him, safe under the high ball and good at sniffing a gap.

We need to be watching him

i think you are getting Walters confused with Walker
