Yet another crap draw. Cant we get an away game at a smaller club?

What date will it be on? Only all SL tie of the round but could be harder and home tie so can't complain too much.

Poor draw to be honest. Being the only super league tie, i presume we will be on TV. with one of either Halifax vs Bradford, Doncaster vs Wakefield or Wigan vs Barrow.

They couldn't have done a better job if the draw had been seeded!

A boring and predictable round of fixtures.

Some embarrassingly low attendances among that lot.

maybe so... But at least it's free

Was hoping for an easy draw as planned to be in London on the Saturday.

We play Crusaders a couple of weeks earlier in SL at Headingley.

Leeds drawn at home AGAIN shocker.

Incredible isn't it, 50:50 odds and Leeds get a home draw. Amazing.

As did 15 other clubs, none of whom had another SL team to face.
You really are a fool.

Whoosh !

Interesting potential banana skin. Again I would expect Leeds to win comfortably, but with the way we are playing we are just as likely to hand Crusaders victory than put in a decent performance.

What would be the consequence for the coaching staff if Leeds were to lose?

I would imagine the concequences would be none, dont think they will be let go if we lose.

Given that our league form is "patchy" and if we were to lose, what else would have to happen for there to be change?

I'm playing devil's advocate here a bit, as not only do I think we will win, but I also think that BMD should be given the full season, however with every passing week the question mark gets a little bigger. That said, coaches get far too much credit for a win and far too much criticism for a defeat.

Think it probably depends on the patience of GH. If results are going bad still and we get knocked out of CC. Attendances will drop probably. I personally think he should be given the full season but if things carry on who knows.

According to [url=http://www.saintsrlfc.com/news/page/643Saints[/url website Cas are away at Rochdale Horneys




well, thats one club im sure few folk would love to be a member of.....

Relax.

It's only the Crusaders.

I'd still expect GH's challenge to his coach to win games in 2011 by playing an entertaining, innovative and creative style of rugby which involves a lot of fancy-dan passing to see Leeds through to the next round.

The massive Rhinos crowd will look reet good on the BBC cameras.

Super League opposition for the 3rd year in a row. It's a conspiracy against us, surprise surprise etc etc.....

Easy this innit?

The Beeb should take their cameras to Halifax and Batley - likely to be two decent sized crowds in smaller grounds that will generate a bit of atmosphere.

As someone who can remember a televised game at Headingley between Leeds and York (selected on the basis the undersoil heating gave a guarantee of it actually going ahead - Craig Innes's debut?) which had all the atmosphere of an audience with Russ Abbott, having the cameras at the Crusaders game would give a similar appearance.

Oh, what an atmosphere.

I did worry that cultural reference might fly over the head of our younger viewers.

Yeah ... can you explain that one for me please?
