GAME ON : Leeds Rhinos v Wakefield Trinity - 19:45:00

GENERAL CHAT ABOUT THE GAME, BUILD UP, THE ACTION AS IT HAPPENS AND AFTERMATH BELOW.

Its the hasbeens against the wannabes.

I think it will be a back and forth affair with Wakefield just pinching it.

Wakefield by 4

Looking forward to this one, hopefully there's a decent crowd to help show off the new stadium.
I think Leeds will have too much for Wakefield, I'll go Leeds by 10.

Wonder if wakey fans can tell us before the game why it wont be fair if they lose it?

Wonder when Shudds fans will be able to come on here before or after a game and tell us why they actually won a one?

There will already be a thread on the Leeds forum blaming the ref before a ball is even kicked

Why not, they are already blaming the ref on the wakey board. So we may aswell get one in as well.

Leeds by 16 setting a marker down at home.

I think ruuBron is on about the Wakey fans not yours.

I wasnt! I was talking about the Leeds fans. They are easily the worst fans for blaming a ref EVERY time they lose. Funnily enough, they never once moaned about the ref when Sinfield was reffing, I mean playing.

Or, actually went and saw a game (other than on TV)



Seriously though, it should be a decent match up.
A big night for Leeds, with the South Stand finished (and it looks superb) and likely to be a big crowd.
6-8 points in it and it really could go either way.

Actually they aren't, they are discussing Kendal and the fact that some prefer other refs to him - a totally legitimate debate to have but don't let that stop you.

Wakefield are +8 on the handicap and I'd probably take that. Wakefield has the stronger pack and if they can pin Leeds back and make the likes of Hurrell spend a lot of time carting Leeds out of their own half, they'll do alright.

You see, this is what keeps the punters coming back to RLFANS - fresh, original content.

Wakefield aren’t great and Leeds were much better last week so I’ll go for Leeds by 8. At the same time though when Hurrell was dealt with Leeds looked pretty clueless in attack and I think that has to be a concern. Should still have too much and Hurrell will probably grab a couple.

Wakey fans are in a league of their own when it comes to blaming match officials when they lose. Leeds don't even compare.

Never mind here, you only have to read the SL Facebook page after any Wakefield defeat and you see post after post after post ripping into whoever was the ref, even after heavy losses.

And people on here have the audacity to whinge about the Hull/Rovers, my dad is bigger than your dad, tit for tat.
Jesus, you Wezzies are different gravy....



Angela Powers for Man of the Match.

Haven’t you got other things to worry about - just a thought.

That new Leeds stand looks terrific.

Not as terrific as David Fifitas pink shorts under his shorts.

I've turned the sound off already. It's not the commentary that's getting on my rather ample man t*ts but the incessant drumming/trumpeting accompanied by the equally annoying "we're Leeds Rhinos, we're Leeds Rhinos".

If you want to play instruments join a f*cking band, don't ruin the atmosphere at a rugby league match.

So far we’ve had Lolohea and Hurrell mixed up and Johnstone and Briscoe mixed up.

Leeds looked decent last week.
Been pants so far tonight.

Two bang average sides who can’t defend.

Doesn’t sound like there is any atmosphere. The new south stand, modern and pretty etc, has wrecked it
