Remember Leeds, no winding up Luaki, no tackling Luaki and no sledging Luaki or you will have headmaster Agar to answer to.



For those Leeds fans unaware Agar is whining in our local rag today that his much maligned 6' 17 stone forward is a sweet little angel who does no wrong and musn't be wound up by opposition or shouted at by loud, noisy fans.

Jesus Bert you really are obsessed.

Can I ask who the feck is Olly whatsisname?

sad i know this but he came 2nd in last years X Factor

as to be the cup match

Our forwards will be looking forward to this one and a couple have had a rest last week so will be mega fresh, but I bet Big Ali and Senior and drooling at the thought of running at Hall all night !!
If whiting has an off night hall will get mullered

I'd say a R.L. coach taking up nearly a page in the local paper whining about the treatment of one player by other R.L. players and opposition fans is obsessed to be honest.

Would be the cup for me, dropping league points is nothing new to us this year.

Leeds really need to get cracking on Sunday. I've used the 'early days' card to combat our poor start to the season but reality is that the early days card will soon be invalid.

Some good signs over the last couple of games. A good 20 mins blast against Bulls but poor for the other 60 mins. Fantastic 20 mins blitz against Catalans, went off the boil but still held things together. Next step putting a full 80 mins performance which im pretty confidence the lads will do on Sunday.

I'm looking forward to this one.

Should be a brutal affair.

Hull lead from the pack. So it's an obvious suggestion to know that this is the area which will either win or lose the game.

Hull have been far from perfect though this year and Leeds and still under done so it's all set up nicely.

Leeds will have to match the aggreession levels. But key point I think is that they will have a job winning the ruck. They MUST keep on the front foot and execute quick PTB's. Hull love going in with 2 + 3's (gang tackles). So if they can ride those and get a good general kicking game in play we have the threat out wide to win the game.

Roll on Sunday aft.

Its a big game for us. We need the points to start climbing the table, and we need to get the measure of them for the CC game.

From a personal point of view.

This Sunday is a much more important game to win than the following Saturday.

Really, you would be happier with 2 league points and be out of the cup?

Yep. Going out of the cup early hasn't done us any harm in the past has it?

This Sundays game is COULD be more important than the week after. For the reason being if Leeds play like they did in the first half against Dulls and lose then it could be very hard to pick themselves up, go to Hulls backyard and get a win. Where as on the other hand if Leeds put in a great performance confidence will be oozing throughout the camp and Leeds will only build on that. Massive psychological game on Sunday imo.

Hmm, its a poser to be sure. Personally i would choose the CC fixture to win out of the two, IF i had to, although i do think that we are capable of winning both.

I think the club may have more focus on the CC this year, certainly at the early stages. Its a competition that only Keith has won, and lets face it, beating stains at Old Trafford is a little boring.

I'd be well up for a wembely win, although the SL is the most prestigious, with our current league position, it looks like a very good run would be needed to win it.

CC is only 5 games or so and requires no great consistency to win on the day

We are very capable of winning both, we are also very capable of losing both, are we still yet to beat a team above us in the league this year?

I think the RFL would be happy to see Leeds in the final as well. At least Wembley might be near full (I might even make an appearance, the shameless bandwagoning armchair supporter that I am

).

Sinfield was in the team that won in 1999 FWIR?

EDIT: my mistake, couldnt remember if he played or not.

FX: Awaits tvoc with all guns blazing

he was in the squad that season. he didn't play though.

Kev only played in the quarter final at Widnes and got two tries.

Definite dip in the quality of Frosties' stalking lately...

Sam Buca took the reigns now
