Thanks a bunch! Hope he gets a game in all seriousness

Walters and Mullally to miss out. However, i'm sure Ferres and Garbutt will still be doubts and they'll probably be other injury concerns which will change the above team!

Greetings noisy neighbours!

Think this will be a good contest and looking forward to it - only seen highlights of your game vs Catalan but looks like it was fairly routine win for you. That said, I've watched most of Catalans games this year and they don't look anything special.

We struggled past Salford but were the better side for most of the game, we switched off for 15 mins and they ruthlessly punished us with their strike players.

I think we have a stronger pack and halves going into this one, but your backline is stronger (although possibly not as fast) and where you can do us the most damage. If you can get a platform and get it wide near to our line, you will score points.

We will look something like

See you on Friday night

I'd say there's a decent chance that at least one of Garbutt or Ferres doesn't make it. I'd edge towards Garbutt not making it because 2 weeks for a pectoral injury (think they said it was torn) seems very quick.

Didn't Salford have 2 men doing stints in the bin?

Yeah they did, but 1 was after 4 minutes so not a huge impact (no tired bodies trying to cover gaps) and we scored during the second stint.

McDermott confirms Ferres & Garbutt both play tomorrow. Oledzki misses out but is close. Ormondroyd out for four to six weeks.

This will be like last week - an easy win for Leeds.

Leeds are no great shakes but Wakefield are one of the poorest sides to grace SL

Haven't seen them in the flesh this year but their results have been ok. Narrow wins against Salford and saints, narrow defeats to hudds and hull. Think we'll win but doubt we'll stroll it.

Any news on when Ward will be back?

Has Oledzki actually been confirmed to not be playing or are we just assuming he isn't because Ferres and Garbutt return?

Yep Leeds are no great shakes do not know your analysis for Wakey as a Trin fan I disagred with you we have some grit I expect us to tskd thd game to you tonight and hopefully come away with the points

Wakefield have been dominant in all four of their games, with a silly period in each game letting the opposition back into the game. They are nothing like the Wakefield side of recent years, they have grit and determination to see a game to the full 80min. It may be that Leeds beat them, but don't expect it to be easy like the weak catalans side last week, wakefield are yet to find their full form yet and are still adapting to a new halfback pairing which has only played 4 games together

I'm sure people said last years Wakey team were the worst to grace Super League, and they outperformed us. Games aren't won by history or what's happened in previous seasons. Chester seems to have them playing well. I think it will be a close game, and hope it is.

Exactly, that's all anyone can ask for, because to be honest, I'd rather watch a good game between two closely matched teams instead of a pumping for one team or the other. A close game certainly looks better on Sky for everyone else too

Don't think there are any poor sides this year.
Each time is capable of winning. Only Cas and Wigan have looked in a different league this year.
Bookies rarely get things wrong but in rugby 10 points start can easily be overcome.
Hoping for a Wakey win but 60 per cent of my family will be at Headingley supporting the Rhinos tonight.
That in itself sums up this wonderful sport we will stand together and have a drink together despite supporting different teams.
A lesson that football will never learn the joy of mingling with opposing fans.

Rhinos side announced

Glad to see Baldwinson get a start. Still can't for the life of me see how Walters gets a shirt but there you go.

Would imagine he'd have been out had Sutcliffe not been injured. Only left him and Oledzki and we have enough props in that 17, with Ferres just returning we needed a 2nd row option on the bench.

We could have started Garbutt with Baldwinson at 13, with Delaney filling in at second row.

Must be annoying for Oledski who has lost his Bradford place, so has Lilley btw unless he is injured?
EDIT: ignore this ^^^ Bulls have a CC game so I assume we dont want any players cup tied

Could've done but Garbutt is returning as well. No need to mess around just because people don't like Walters.

As pointed out the loan players weren't going to be allowed to play this week in the cup for Bradford so hasn't effected them and if the plan is to go with Moon in the halves then we can't have both Burrow and Lilley on the bench.

What a pass from parcell

Shoddy last 20 minutes, but generally a very good team performance with no real poor performers, although Briscoe is way off Hall's level at the moment, and Walters just looks to have no idea

Another strong performance tonight attack seems to have improved even though it took us 15 -20 mins to break wakey down, Cuthberson, Parcell, Garbutt all soild in middle Golding, Watkins, Hall all quality in backs also Golding kicked well hopefully continue our winning ways throughout season. ALAW!!!!

Confident Rhinos Stroll Past Trinity A win for the Leeds Rhinos over Wakefield Trinity at Carnegie Headingley would see them pull level on points with top of the table Castleford Tigers, Wigan Warriors and Hull FC. A win of any description would lift the visitors above the Rhinos. Leeds were without late withdrawal Liam Sutcliffe and the suspended Brad Singleton, and with Joel Moon named in the half-backs Rob Burrow would start the game on the bench. Wakefield Wildcats were looking for a third successive win after claiming the scalps of Saints and Salford in the last two rounds, but themselves made five changes from last weeks line-up.
