Improves spectator safety on the front couple of rows in the North and South stands though.

Regarding Hall and his try tally. Apart from a couple he bombed against Saints at Headingley a few weeks back.....he really hasn't had many chances to increase his total.

If he was getting plenty of chances and not taking them then that'd be a cause for concern. As it is he simply isn't getting the opportunities to be a 20+ a year scorer.

I've Never been worried by Hall's try output, this has been brought up several times in the last few years since he emerged on the scene scoring for fun, but that was with Senior as his centre partner.There is so much more to his game these days than tries and you always know that in the big games he is able to do things in the finishing department that most other wingers can only dream of.

Side's going well enough. Hall's a bit quiet, so what? He's as likely to score a couple as anyone come Friday. Ditto anyone at present. Torpedoing wire's hopes would be eminently sensible, hope the likes of cas and hudds see it that way too.

Rest Hall and JP? What are you all smoking? With Saints in France, this is a great opportunity to extend our lead at the top. Harrison and Westwood missing is great news for us. We should go into the game with the best pack we can and batter them. Target Sandow and use Hall as an extra forward

....nah! Hall aint scoring enough tries.....he should be made to stick rigidly to the wing just in case. After all his scoring more tries is by the far the more important issue !!!! Seriously! I have growing empathy with Loiner81 (?) ....some people are just never satisfied.

I also think Moon taking criticism for not being a 'winger's centre' is somewhat unfair too. Leeds play both left and right now because of greater threats on the right (plus Hardaker tends to link more with the right than with the left as his predcessor did).

I seem to remember Moon giving Hall plenty of good passes when the ball heads his way (if McGuire doesn't give the cut out pass that is)....he certainly gave Handley one for his second try at Langtree.... !!!!!

Anybody else a little nervous about tonight?

They are missing Westwood, Harrison, ormsby and Atkins .
Never had a better chance, though it is a shame Ward hasn't made it for us.

I think with WW and BH missing it will be harder for them to slow us down at the ptb. If Aiton can keep up his form from the last few games and we get some momentum it could be a very good win / strong performance .

My main worry is our coach will pick Walters over singleton and then not play him, handicapping our team effectively.

I think I'd start with peacock and singleton.If Sims and hill start and then go off for asotasi/ England then I'd bring on garbutt and leuluai

No Walters won't be picked unless someone is injured. Singleton will either come in at loose in place of JJB from last weeks team or on the bench with Leuluai starting at prop and Cuthbertson to LF.

Either way we'll have a much more effective bench than the one that played Warrington last time. Sinfield/Burrow/Mulhern/Achurch.....2 HB's, a young prop who was never going to big mins and a 2nd rower who was needed to play prop but never goes well there.

Don't expect an open, fast-flowing game. With James Child at the whistle it'll be short tens, endless lying on and a bafflingly inconsistent spell where he penalises anyone who breathes within ten yards of him.

Just the sort of game Tony Smith/Warrington will want.

A little bit off topic (but still regarding tonight's opponents)......Warrington's new club badge is fecking sh*te.

I actually think it looks really smart. Really modern. Weird doing it mid-season though.

Also makes our logo look even more dated to be honest...

Agreed, the rhinos badge is looking very "90s" at the moment

Let's hope not. This should be a cracker and hopefully he will sort himself out.

Agree with you it does look dated. Any aspiring designers / graphic artists out there want to showcase their ideas?

I think a lot of the Rhino's kit is rather dull to be honest. I wanted a new vest for the gym and bought a Cas Tigers basketball type vest,superbly made and great quality.

we look far stronger than wolves across the 17 and im not sure who's going to make their go forward when hill and sims are off?

Not entirely sure that Sims exactly eats up the metres in any case.

He is a leader for them tho

Hill and Sims departing is when it went pear-shaped for them vs HKR and their bench doesn't look all that inspiring (or England starting). Our centres in good form against their centres looks ominous for them also.

Think Warrington's hopes lay with Sandow having one of those wonder debuts.

They could still turn us over. We have to start well and either post some points early or get a few repeat sets. If we can keep our offload game going we should be able to tire their big forwards out.

that is exactly the point i was trying to make

Wire are more than capable of matching us up front and turning us over, and they are going to be up for this big style and we will have to be at the top of our game to get the points

That was a poor kick for a penalty
