Ah Van would be in my team vs Leeds, as Mick said he has a bit of pace but also he gets through a fair bit of work in our own 20.

He had 20m start & nearly got caught. You are faster Mick.

Depends if there is free burgers and beer at the other end

Leeds 6-38 Huddersfield.

Not the result we really wanted as they won't play as bad again and it could also cause a few of the Leeds supporters to stay at home and watch the game on tv etc.

Will certainly prove how much of the fans are glory supporters mick wont it

I'd still expect at least 3000 Leeds supporters on Thursday.

I see a new T-shirt coming..........

I know what you mean, it's like waiting for Crimbo but a million times worse.

He didnt get caught though

Nice to see someone handing flyers out for this Thursday's game at our place last night

Must be lightning then.

Great marketing.

Well, what can I say?

A 56 point humping by Salford is hardly going to get 20000 flooding through the gates on Thursday!

I think I'll cut my grass instead.

Bradford were on the grass tonight if not they couldn't have been so dopey.

We'll probably be lucky to get 15k now after that shambles.

both teams arent exactly firing on all cylinders, but i think you should beat the rhinos

Really not looking forward to this in truth. Can just see Leeds playing slightly expansive and putting 40 plus on us.

Be shocked at 17k +. Today's result kind of screwed the decent 20k marketing campaign.

You didn't watch us today then...

Gotta give young Bateman a go, Whiteheads doing nothing.

Seconded. I'm pleased tbh. Even if i saw most of them in the urinals in the gents



I'm there. Ticket was bought within days of going on sale. I cant wait and expect a pint from Gledhill

Having watched both games I haven't a clue how this one will go. Leeds have better players, Bradford a better coach. Can't wait.

Hopefully we'll be able to rebound after yesterdays capitulation as I've got a couple of mates coming along to witness their first game of Rugby League.

I expect a massive improvement on Thursday and there is no need to tell the players how much this means to the fans. We always seem to step up the intensity during the weeks build up to a derby game and I expect the team to give 110% which is something we didn't see yesterday.

We have four days to teach them how to tackle, how to catch a ball, how to run lines and how to slide in unison. We have absolutely no chance.
It's typical that we would put in one of the worst performances I have ever seen when we have such a short turnaround before the next game.

We are 16 points off of having the worst defensive record in the league, after Thursday I fully expect us to be leading the pack in this regard.

We could be without Ryan Bailey, Keith Senior and Brent Webb if red hall have there say. As well as, Lee Smith, Danny McGuire, Jamie Peacock, Ali Lauitiiti, Ben Jones-Bishop, Zak Hardaker. If so we will probably go with something like:

19. Kallum Watkins
33. Aston Wilson
12. Carl Ablett
3. Brett Delaney
5. Ryan Hall
13. Kevin Sinfield
7. Rob Burrow
8. Kylie Leuluai
9. Danny Buderus
18. Luke Burgess
20. Weller Hauraki
21. Chris Clarkson
11. Jamie Jones-Buchanan

24. Paul McShane
22. Jay Pitts
28. Brad Singleton
17. Ian Kirke

From what I understand, Brent Webb's offence was nothing more than a yellow card, so I can't see him being missing. Red Hall will never ban Keith Senior as he's been allowed to do whatever he wants for about 10 years now without punishment, although that's mainly on the field decisions rather than off it. Bailey won't be so lucky as it's not as if he has "previous record" to help him out.

I hope Ben Cross plays. Mainly because he's a complete waste of money and quota spot places (and it seems quite a few Rhinos agree). Certainly not the best signing to come to Headingley in recent years!
