Expectations for tonight ?? : Fri Apr 29, 2016 7:30 am  

On the assumption that Eorl plays we have a relatively strong side out tonight against a Leeds side that has only 4 of its 1-13 shirted players on the team sheet and is missing all bar one of its major playmakers.

Is it unreasonable then to expect a committed performance which should on paper lead to a victory over a far more weakened team than our own?

Based on home advantage against the probable Leeds team on duty I would go further and say we will never have a better chance of beating Leeds than we have tonight it's never easy to beat them and things should not be taken for granted but in a must win game defeat is not acceptable this evening as I can't see where the excuses would come from to justify it.

Robert Hicks is the referee so at least it's one of the more experienced ones.

I can't see this Leeds team turning up for the cup tie next week so tonight WE MUST take advantage !!

Not taking ANYTHING for granted, 2 wins in 2 weeks will be massive kick start for us, so that must be our aim.

oh and NO INJURIES.

I feel confident we can take this, It is just the kind of game we often boss and then lose by a couple of points, I just think that we improved enough last week to have won that game so providing we don't go backwards we have every chance. It goes without saying that Brough needs to be on his game, But the pack needs to stand up to give him half a chance, Think we will win this.

I feel ok about this game. I've had an optimistic tenner on us -22...

Probably far too optimistic, I just think/hope we will lift for this

Is that think or hope?

You can't have both.

It sounds like something a Giants player would say in the Examiner.

I think a lot will depend on how the team react to ferres returning to the JSS....
