Rest of the season : Mon Aug 31, 2015 6:36 pm  

Do you think Leeds will go the rest of the season unbeaten? I can't see anyone else getting close, we are a different class to the rest of the comp this year.

I think the saints game coming up and cats away will be hard ones. No ideahow we will be after the ccf

Re: Rest of the season : Mon Aug 31, 2015 7:36 pm  

Saints will beat us. There will be little to no prep going on this week. They'll be hungover til at least Wednesday

Lets not get carried away. We have 4 tough games ahead of us

Re: Rest of the season : Mon Aug 31, 2015 8:08 pm  

Saints struggles with our style and their poor form lately gives us a chance. Hardaker has quite a nasty looking gash on his knee so if he's absent and possibly Burrow then it makes life difficult.

If we were to clinch the LLS before the final week then I'd expect a comfortable loss away to Hudds in the final round with a few rested for us.

The good thing is that we don't need to. It will be tough on Friday and saints will be up for it. Also the hudds game will be tough.

That said, it would be a foolish move to bet against us doing the treble on current form.

Will be interesting to see how McDermott manages the troops. Realistically there aren't many senior players available to bring in. Some of the younger lads could get some game time.

Wasn't it saints after the cup win last year with the moon red card. ?

Re: Rest of the season : Mon Aug 31, 2015 8:38 pm  

As always it will depend on injuries (hopefully no more, but I guess unrealistic). Leeds have been compelled to play a different way with the loss of Aiton..Peacock (or Ablett) running on the shortside being the latest successful move.

Question is can we continue to find successful ways of attacking when selecting Sinfield at dummy half and thus losing our best option at stand off. Losing Sutcliffe in addition to Aiton is stretching the options....and Leeds to date have coped fantastically.

Can it continue before the main Wigan opposition get the measure of us again? Wigan undoubtedly remain the biggest threat to the treble; I think the double is likely; the treble a massive achievement if achieved.

The team were back at training today for the game.

Team looked more focused than last year, the only concerns at the moment are Burrow's injury and Hardakers cut leg.

We are a different proposition this year, but agree that Wigan are our main threat, just need Hudds to finish 3rd and Saints to finish 4th, for a Leeds Hudds GF
