the daunting easter period coming up, will bottom of the league if we lose both, def drawn the short straw with travelling to catalans monday too.

usually up for the leeds game are the giants but think we will huff and puff... fail to score as per and leeds end up running away with it

not a clue what the team will be with the squad decimated with injuries...plus got to factor in the other game monday... the catalans game is more winnable maybe we should throw all our eggs into that game.

ikahihifo, roberts and mcintosh to come back? dont think we will see ferguson, mcgillvary or wood or mam or symonds...

Generally speaking if you try target one of the games, you end up losing both. There are no half measures in Rugby league and morale is more important than tiredness and carrying bumps and bruises. Get a kicking to Leeds and may lose Catalans due to that, but turn the corner and put in a performance and then may go and beat them. Either way we are shambolic at the moment and i'm just hoping things are going to change at the top soon.

lets see what team chris thorman picks... though he like stone will have his hands forced due to injuries..

at least we should see lots of enthusiasm from the team??

usually get a response but wont be enough for a win.

wow just seen an injury update by the club...anyone got any boots to play?!

mcgillvary out for two month the biggest blow

seems leeming is so unfit hes not even playing! wonder if he will play in france...

team i see playing,... but question marks over brough, ikahihifo, roberts,ferguson too.

⬆️ OBrien. New dad. 80 mins ?

Probably not- but hinchy is more than capable of 80- possibly not two three days apart though!

interchange with hinchcliffe who played a whole season at hooker for us.

leeming i would expect will be back for catalans

leeds -10 on the handicap

looks like printing money

looks like they are targeting one game that being catalans , leeming a case in point.

2 on debut ...

certainly are putting all their effort into beating catalans!!

what position do the two youngsters play?

Wing and back row from memory?

Louis can play full back wing and centre, sam is second rower

Louis is a very athletic 6’4” and will become some formidable unit over the next couple of years.

Sam is a very tough hard working second row in the moulded of Bateman, he’s got some evil inside him but is better disciplined than a young Bateman was.

Nice to know Avenger maybe Robbos helped to put it there.

well just goes to show we can play like a decent team and use our centre/wingers!!!

refreshing to see, actually deserved the win but def take a point which could come in handy later on in the season.

thorman said he gave them the hairdryer before the game and got the response he wanted, you have to wonder why it took someone to get sacked to get a performance though.

lets repeat and beat catalans now!

thought jared simpson was brilliant today as were many others !

impressed did louis senior

Perhaps it wasnt so much the sacking that got the performance so much as the chance to play a style they prefer.
Get the best out of staff who are happy in their work.

who knows, the weather helped too being on a dry pitch for a change!

def enjoyed watching that style of play, needed

lets not get carried away though need a win monday otherwise this result will be wasted

can see ferguson, leeming, mellor and a few others coming back in which will keep us fairly fresh

Louis has an identicke twin brother called Innes who’s not far behind him developmentally and when I say identicle I mean absolutely.

Innes has always impressed me when I’ve seen him play. Got a couple of others in the 19s just as good as those who played today in Jon-Luke and mellar. And I’d say jack Flynn is shoulders above the third year hooker greenwood. That kid will go far.

I am under the impression that Innes Senior is the one to watch out for, i think he is currently injured though.

I think for Jon Luke, this is his last year in the 19s. Sadly, I cant see any of Liam Johnson, Mikey Wood or Nathan Mason returning here after their loan spells, so hopefully he will get a first team contract at the end of this season.

The point also comes when Matty English is going to have to start getting some game time for me. I hope to see him play on Monday against Catalans.

Think of all those the two youngest have the most promise. But who knows what Thorman can get out of mason- he seems to be doing ok in his loan dowll
