Sinfield

Guys just to give you a heads up, it's 20 quid on the day but save yourself a little moan and two quid by prepurchasing a ticket for 18 quid!

That two quid could get you a pint!

Thanks, Rhinoms has posted a link to the club website and they are pushing this also (they also note that if we buy from Headingley the club gets 10%!).

A pint yes possibly, but definitely not in any ground!

Rob Burrow in tonight's YEP Online:

[i"Wakefield are going to be confident, they are top of the table and have won their opening two games. =#FF0000We have been there and been beaten in the past, so we know that we will have to be at the top of our game or we will struggle."[/i

That must be 'we' as in Leeds RL as it isn't an experience any of the current playing squad have endured. Extending that thought to the coaches, Cummins may have been on junior forms though as a just turned sweet sixteen.

21st October 1992 Wakefield 17 Leeds 16

A think, given last Friday, and how well Wakey played against us (and in general) last year I agree with the sentiment he is trying to give out, so we can maybe excuse him the facts... however, I am sure Bluey will remind them of this fact, as well as the fans!

maybe he meant top of the table after two games? have we lost our third game of the season recently
or could be a missing comma?

I think he may be mixing up our reasonably occasional SL victories at Headingley with games at BV. Some have been very close but no cigar.

In 1992 I was 29 I'm now 46!!! A whole generation has come along since we last beat you at BV, and tbh I can't see that changing. Like death and taxes it's seems almost inevitable.

This should be a cracking game - provided Child can keep control

Wakey look like they a serious pack and some nimble half backs - looking forward to it - snow permitting

One thing is for sure the pitch will be better than the cow field at Headingley

It is the best pitch in SL for me by a mile... they might even take the grass with them to Stanley!

Leeds did start 2007 like that but they weren't top as Bradford had a superior points difference.

Likewise 2006 but this time Leeds were 4th on points difference (behind St Helens, Hull and Salford) after two rounds.

The last season that matches - top of the table after two and losing the third - was 2001, Burrow made his debut three weeks later.

In any case it'd be Wakefield rather that Leeds who would have to be on their mettle in that instance so I'm not sure I follow the logic of that possible interpretation.

Just discovered an issue with this Child referee.

Leeds have never won with him and Wakefield have never lost with him in the SL Regular Rounds.

Half his twelve outings have featured Celtic/Crusaders and the rest are typically top V bottom. The one time he was given a competitive looking match up was probably his debut between Wakefield and Les Catalans and he came close to losing control of that IIRC.

Do you think I should send my tickets back then and stay warm and possible dry?

Never do that. I think it will be a step up in intensity for the 26 year old and it will be interesting to see if either side test him out and how he responds.

I wonder if anyone has taken over the lease on that dodgy pub over the road from Belle Vue?

Dont think so.

Rob Burrow was the captain in a pre season friendly at Belle Vue a few years ago. My kid sister was the mascot that night..
AFICR we did lose the game. Was on a weekday night.

Maybe that's what he is recalling.

As Wild said, still boarded up. Interestingly, the pub closest to the proposed new ground, the Spindle Tree, is also boarded up now... owners did a moonlight flit I understand!

Maybe. I don't record pre season friendlies, testimonials and such like as they are not classified as 1st grade fixtures for inclusion in any official records so the case you put forward is a plausible explanation.

Ablett and Delaney definately out. Abletts injurys doesnt seem to bad, could be back next week. Delaney is a race for the WCC.

Squad change with the news on Delaney and Ablett.

Its not so groundbreaking that it's worth posting again is it?

That's my predictions for wakey team - shud be a crackin game, although I am a bit fearful of the "wounded rhino" effect that might occur.

Isnt that cheating having 5 players on the bench
