It is so important to win Friday . To loose three in the spin would have a major impact on confidence . We need to get momentum going again going into what I believe will be a very hard June. We are away Staines away then home games against our nearest rivals Catalans and hull. Are position in the top four could really be cemented with a good June or a up hill battle if we don't pick up points . It's so important to get the fear factor that teams had at the start of the season playing the wire. We must win Friday to kick on again. Then hopefully we should have another few players back for hull and Catalans and a big game against Widness in the cup.

Watching the game back we lost the match during the end of first half period when Hill was off and the start of the second half when Clark was off. The killer single moment was the howler from the play the ball from Smith followed by the try straight from the scrum when Lineham was made to look like an absolute carthorse. Game over.

Gidley
Lineham
King
Atkins
Ormsby
Sandow/ Currie
Ratchford
Hill
Clark
Sims
Westwood
Currie/ Wilde
Westerman

Dwyer
Cox
G King
BEvans/ Bailey

To be brutal again if we had options I wouldn't select Toby King or Lineham on the strength of that last game and I am struggling to see the point of 'fan favourite' Jordan Cox who plays fro about five minutes and does little in defence.

Well Sandow and Gidley built a pretty good partnership early season, so I suspect TS will pick them together. I suspect he will also put Atkins and Evans back into the centre, so my guess would be;

Ratchford
Lineham
Evans
Atkins
Ormsby
Sandow
Gidley
Hill
Clark
Westwood
Currie
Westerman

The bench;

Dwyer
King
Julien
and then a choice, Cox or Bailey. I suspect Bailey might well play so that TS can give Cox a kick up the pants and to get Bailey closer to match fitness.

Much as I don't like Bailey
Surely Leeds at Home is one game where he should be used - if only for entertainment purposes.

Gidley to full back for me
As others have said "as it says on the tin"
Could be a reverse of the Appo phenomena ?

Chaz I know Leeds have been having a tough time but do you really think TS will start with 12 and give Sims the week off?

Haha, how could I have forgotten Bloodaxe the viking ?

I will be interested to see the score predictions in your competition this week after we were thrashed by Classy Cas. If we can get a few early points on the board hopefully their heads will go down, if not it could be a long evening.

No chance of heads going down on Friday mate.
They wont be up in the first place.
But at least we will have a bit of a laugh and joke at the end of the game.
36-12 to Wire.

Re: Team v Leeds : Tue May 24, 2016 12:22 pm  

This has the hall marks of a Bailey sending off after intense winding up from ex team mates and a third inept performance on the run.

As my old Dad used to say "I've heard ducks fart in the long grass before" I'll happily take your score prediction now

At least Leeds have an ideal replacement in the tom foolery department with Ablett. Wouldn't be Leeds without the old agent provocateur.
