Saturday – Leeds Rhinos v Wakefield Trinity (3pm) Referee – Aaron Moore, Video Referee – Liam Rush, Touch Judges – Neil Horton and Cameron Worsley, Reserve Referee – Carl Hughes, Timekeeper – Mark Hebblethwaite, Match Commissioner – Steve Williams

[quote="1873":2odvjf9k]Saturday – Leeds Rhinos v Wakefield Trinity (3pm) Referee – Aaron Moore, Video Referee – Liam Rush, Touch Judges – Neil Horton and Cameron Worsley, Reserve Referee – Carl Hughes, Timekeeper – Mark Hebblethwaite, Match Commissioner – Steve Williams[/quote:2odvjf9k] I wonder if the Time Keeper Mark Hebblethwaite is any relation to John Hebblethwaite who refereed the 1968 Watersplash final awarding Leeds a dodgy try having decided that Ian Brooke had obstructed. If so not a good omen

[quote="FIL":3868q70f]Sivo's replacement arrives this week... https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/le ... s-for-2025[/quote:3868q70f] If he plays on Saturday, and it's not yet clear if he will or not, then we should look to target him in both attack and defence, he won't be used to playing on a wet greasy pitch in cold conditions, send plenty of traffic at him and look to isolate him. When defending put him under immediate pressure with line speed and hit him hard

I agree, but will he play though ?? You would assume that Handley will revert to the wing to replace Sivo but surely they will have another back-up centre or two without needing to put the new guy straight in ??

oh dear this latest injury is going to test our metal on saturday

[quote="God":25yw2qj8]oh dear this latest injury is going to test our metal on saturday[/quote:25yw2qj8] The latest one been Scott? Surely we can’t have lost another before round 1? Unless your talking about Pratts broken nose

no another one bites the dust Im afraid ffs

[quote="God":3v75k4y8]no another one bites the dust Im afraid ffs[/quote:3v75k4y8] So up to 7 now with another carrying a broken nose. Who’s been smashing the mirrors. After a strong pre season that’s gutting.

[quote="God":2lozd5dm]no another one bites the dust Im afraid ffs[/quote:2lozd5dm] Jay Pitts picked up a knock against Goole, so is it him?

More injuries probably won't effect the result but certainly the margin.

[quote="God":1cqd9bso]no another one bites the dust Im afraid ffs[/quote:1cqd9bso] Go on then.... do tell.....

Sorry dont want to give Leeds any info, club will annouce when ready. On the brightside I think we go with a much stronger sqaud than boxing day.

[quote="Wakko23":2woe3mde]"oooooo look at me. I'm in the know...." pathetic. Why post that if you're not going to say?[/quote:2woe3mde] I think his posts suggest he is certainly aware of what’s going on. I guess we have to wait until tomorrow when the squad is released for Saturday.

[quote="God":3lwhf3c4]Johnny Bravo once said "anyway enough about me, what do you think of me, how about me, take a look at me."[/quote:3lwhf3c4] Hope it’s nothing serious/ long term that will hamper us, need to hit the ground running.

[quote="Pat Bateman":1bqrirdl]Hope it’s nothing serious/ long term that will hamper us, need to hit the ground running.[/quote:1bqrirdl] 8 week i think

Max seemed to be struggling with his shoulder at one point during the Google game.

[quote="God":39q89jnp]8 week i think[/quote:39q89jnp] I’m hoping you’ve gone Senile and are referring to Seth’s hand injury from last week

Think it could be Max, particularly with God saying about giving information out to Leeds. I think they would be doing plenty of video on Max and what he does in the line. If it is, it`s a real shame, but it`s not an absolute disaster with Rourke jumping for his chance. If it is, I expect he will still be named in the squad to keep them guessing until half hour before kick off. All guess work I guess and I have faith in whoever is in the shirt.. Just can`t wait now!
