Cup v rhinos : Sun May 01, 2016 10:42 am  

Ormsby won't be available for this game. So I expect Murphy back to wing and Connor at centre. Unless Ellis is back a couple of weeks early Leeming will be back on the bench.
Leeds will have a load back for this including moon, Maguire cuthbertson and hardaker. (Unless he's suspended after his Twitter meltdown which is unlikely).
We will be up against a very different side this week. I can't see Leeds making as many errors and missing as many tackles as they did last week. Key is complete our sets, don't give away penalties and improve our last tackle options- turn those held up over the line into tries!!!

Simply play what's in front of you. No doubt the names on Leeds team sheet will be more senior than last week. However there were still 17 good players out there last week and it was there defence which kept them in it. 5 times held up over the line and 3 try's turned over...pressure was there just the scramble from Leeds was awesome!
Amazed on the Leeds board on about a clear out (at least some of them) hall and abblet being called!

The same calls on ours last year. eorl and robbo- Eorl has been very solid this year and how we have bloomin missed the little ironman and his little darts from DH this season!!!!

I hope they are doing plenty of repetitive practice on our attacking structures this week.The fact we went into the sheds 8-4 behind after all that field position and the shifts we put on was a concern.

aye but leeds ended up paying for it in the end, drained them having to soak up pressure early doors.

play how we know we can and another win

Fair comment,but I'd rather see us turn pressure into points.Not wanting to put a downer on what was a good victory in the end but if Watkins had have touched that ball down late on before the Connor try,it would probably have been another hard luck story following on from all the other hard luck stories this time.

Just as well Watkins couldn't catch a cold in a nursery full of hundreds of snotty kids on Friday.
Equally if Johnson had touched that ball down, or Hinchcliffe, or wood it could have been a walkover.......

As they once said in grid iron IF my auntie had spherical objects she'd be my uncle.

Do you agree with my point about turning pressure into points though.

Absolutely - something we also failed to do against Warrington and Wigan. Both of which could have been easy wins had we done so early on!

Ormsby's metres are going to be hard to replace from last week.Suppose Smurph will go back to the wing but for me he looked dangerous every carry at centre.
