Agreed, I really felt for him last night, not how you want to end your career, he seems a thoroughly decent guy and has been a fabulous player for Cas.

Still glad they lost though!

I think What it shows you is even if there is nothing to play for (like Warrington last night) at this end of the year you need to be hitting some form, I don't see what us resting players tonight achieves we need to be sending out our best possible side. And has someone mentioned I think the fans deserve that.

Totally agree. I'll be pretty gutted if they run out with a weakened team tonight. Don't think they will.

Yep a good servant to the sport for many years. A real solid pro and players player. Shame to end like that but hes had a good career.

Absolutely, you don’t want the likes of Hurrell and Lui going in from a standing start.

Agreed. From the same junior club my kids played for and still lives in the area. You wouldn't find anyone who has a bad word to say about him, hope he stays in the game somehow.

I hope they have 4XXXXL for Hurrell - he will be a hell of size by now

I reckon he’ll be involved in the Cas coaching set up.....
So much more to offer...

Pick our strongest and rest anyone with niggles.
If we play Wigan which I think are more beatable than Wire.
Who would we play next? Catalan?

Good luck tonight from a Rovers fan, gonna be two busted teams that take to the pitch I reckon, we're missing a good few as are yourselves.
Finishing 5th or 6th is a great result for both sides when you compare were we've finished recently so win or lose its a been a great season for us.

Prior would benefit from a week off and Hurrell & Lui need a run out if they're to be relied upon next week. Other than that it's a meaningless game. Just one to get through without injuries or bans.

false position though inst it for HKR
you miss playing the top 3 sides Saints,Catalan and Warrington and played the pointless at the time bottom club Leigh 3 times

Pretty sure we've played Catalans 3 times actually aswell as both Saints and Warrington away from home but don't let that spoil your bitter post. Anyway this topic is about two playoff teams so run along Pal.

Good luck to KR. A club with loads of Leeds links and fighting the good fight in hard circumstances.

Honestly some people lack grace. Leeds is a relatively privileged club - all one sport isn’t it?

Well ive enjoyed watching KR this year. They play the game the right way and are entertaining.

I am not your pal neither bitter
just pointing out the system is flawed and your position is false given you have missed playing Saints,Catalan and Warrington yet played winless at the time and bottom club Leigh three times.

TBF the bitter post came courtesy of an FC fan. But yeah, best of to rovers, they've been good value this year. Every team in the six deserves to be there imo

Has any other team played the league leaders Catalans three times this season? You've claimed twice now that we've missed playing them but we've played them three times Pal, losing all three by a combined 10 points aswell.
You've played the top three 6 times, we've played them 5 times, so not that much difference.
I think the fact that your team promised so much but delivered so little has really clouded your judgement

Any way let's not derail the topic.

So we have Leeming at hooker and Hurrell off the bench. Agar clearly reads me. Hopefully Lui does the kicking so Myler doesn’t have to.

I hope Myler and Broadbent assume the same positions with and without the ball instead of swapping.

Yep.

This is such a weird fixture, and I feel strangely up for this game. Giddy up lads.

Anyone any idea how kendal didn't give leeds the ball then?

No idea. He must be blind!

Great footwork from the old man. Awful penalty given by kendal for the drag into touch

For God sake Handley!
