This is maybe a bit O/T but does anyone know if this is the last game you can use the 'bring a friend for free' offer with the season ticket? I haven't used mine yet and remember the club making a thing that if we get the extra home game after that that is covered for free. From which point do season ticket holders have to get tickets for subsequent games? Thanks.

End of May deadline for that. Past it mate.

With Saints winning tonight Leeds will need to field a full side if they want to finish top going into the split.

Apart from Peacock I'm sure it will be. Tbh a prop foursome of Cuthbertson, Leuluai, Singleton and Garbutt should be able to hold their own. Although Peacock still does his incredible long stints, are form in the forwards this year hasn't been solely down to his superhuman efforts like previous years.

This game actually with Peacock missing is one of those that Singleton needs to step up in and show he can be a starter when Peacock retires. I'm going to be keeping a close eye on Singleton tomorrow night and I'm hoping for a big showing from him.

True, n the up side it puts warrington some way of the top 4, which would be good for us as we have struggled against them this season, and are tough on their day

If Cas avoid slipping up this weekend against Wakefield then next weekend Cas vs Warrington is a must win game for Wire. Can't afford to start the Top 8's six points behind Cas and with less home games to play.

As it stands
If Leeds top...
Saints, Wigan, Cas & Wire at home.
Hudds, Catalans & Hull away

If Leeds 2nd
Wigan, Hudds, Wire, Catalans home
Saints, Cas, Hull away

Finishing 2nd looks slightly better to me, with no trip to France

All tough games really

The game versus Les Cats will be a tough physical battle, but hopefully played in the right manner. There were some unsavoury efforts from Some Salford players on our lads last night, particularly a couple from Paterson right in front of the North Stand. The 5 day turnaround may be advantageous to Saints who have 7 days to recover come semi final day, but Hetherington took an ethical stance regarding the schedule and chose not to rearrange the fixture, I've no complaints there. Another 2 points come a week Sunday would be a welcome tonic before possibly the hardest schedule we've ever faced in the Superleague era. I can't help wishing I could just fast forward the clock past the Catalans game and onto the semi with another 2 points in the bag and no more injury concerns.

Hmmm..if that's correct I agree! With this scenario I see a loss coming aganst Cats especially with the short turnaround for the semi.... it doesn't seem so imperative to finish top now.

I want the Rhinos to win this game without a doubt even if we are selective with our squad selection as we will potentially stay 1 point in front of the Saints and 2 points in front of Wigan going into the 8's,this will be beneficial in securing a top 2 finish and having a home semi final
We can beat the Dragons at home so lets take the 2 league points will come in usefull during the 8's play offs

Points carry over into the eights. Of course it's advantageous to win games rather than lose them so we're in the best position to be in the top two at the end of the season for a home semi.

To say "I'd think we should lose this game, because if we won we might later have a harder fixture...that we might lose" when the same points are available for both is pretty dumb, even for a forum.

Well I'd much prefer to start the Super 8's with a points advantage, and have home fixtures against Wigan & Saints. Not too bothered about travelling to Catalan. We can't stop winning there!

Important to have as many points on the board as possible.

If Warrington get Chase, as rumoured, they will be a massively different animal to what they have been, and I would really like them to be in a position of having to make up big points in order to have a chance of getting in the top four. So Hopefully Cas will beat them next week.

Hull home or away who cares?they should be a bye for all 7 clubs on tonights showing.

Hull's cup final was last week, no chance they were ever going to get up again for this week having secured their place in the 8 and with no realistic expectation of top four.

With JJB back I would have Walters drop out of the 17 and rest Ablett

Will be good to have JJB back for the business end.He looked good early in the year.

I would rest Cuthbertson and leave out Walters tomorrow.

I'd be tempted to go with 1-13 as the starting 13, just for old times sake.

But really I'd go with:

1. Hardaker
2. Briscoe
3. Watkins
4. Moon
5. Hall
6. Sinfield
7. McGuire
8. Leuluai
9. Aiton
10. Peacock
11. Ablett
12. Keinhorst
13. Delaney

14. Burrow
15. Singleton
16. Garbutt
17. JJB

Yes I think we can afford to rest ONE guy for this game and Cuthbertson is a good shout. HKR's defeat on Friday ruled out the very slim chance that Catalans could end up fighting to avoid the Middle 8's today so wouldn't be surprised if they turn up not bothered.

They could still get 6th. A win would definitely give them7th. But a defeat, and in the 8's or not, they are not going to make top 4. But a win and they are every bit as close.

Today is very important for their season. They have everything to play for, and probably why they have brought back Carney.

Congratulations to Brian Mac and the players for finishing top in the regular season and giving us a great chance of another Grand Final appearance. What a fitting end it would be for the outstanding Sinfield and JP to lift the Championship trophy once more.

Yes agreed. We don't win anything for being top right now but it's definitely pleasing and well done that we are.

Looking at the table and with a 7 point gap over Cas and a 9 point gap over Warrington then already we're not far away from having enough points for a Top 4 spot (2 more wins would probably be enough) although obviously we'd like to keep pushing for top 2 and a home playoff.

there are 7 super 8 games, so 14 points up for grabs and we are 7 points clear of Cas in 5th so we are all but guaranteed a semi final spot. These next games are about ensuring that the semi game is played at home hopefully against 4th but I'd back us home or away against any of the top 8 at the moment. Wire do seem to be a bit of a bogey team this season and I can see them sneaking into 4th eve with a 4 point deficit but we should be at hq. think it will be a leeds saints gf
