In fairness, that is one of the things that Leeds have always done well (the minutes silence on Boxing Day).
Lets hope that the Rhinos fans are willing to travel the short distance to BV and make for a full house and a great Boxing Day atmosphere.

Can anyone remember the last time we had a Boxing Day friendly at BV in the SL era ?

I'm sure i read somewhere the last time a Boxing Day fixture v leeds was played at belle view was 1954. I might have imagined it!

Not a great first half both teams rusty but Leeds a bit sharper.

Randall limped off but seemed to be walking ok as he went to changing room.

Ackroyd deserves a mention like a certain Billy Conway plays well above his weight love his enthusiasm. Big Bill our only player who's really bothering Leeds.

Rocky Hampshire seems to be having a good debut

Any score available please?

10 - 17 to the whinos

Cheers!

Considering Finn, Miller, huby, fifita, Ashurst, Grix, Johnstone, Horo we’re missing. Randell going off after 10 and the young lads getting a good run out apiece o think it was a fairly successful run out.

Hampshire had a good game at halfback been at the club about a week. Happy with the run out. A few down field breaks were positive signs that final pass just went astray.

Plenty of positive signs there.

Possible medial ligament problem in the knee. Scan tomorrow will determine whats what,

Results really dont matter in these games but, we were very impatient in attack and made some dumb errors.
Last tackle penalty, forcing passes when it wasn't needed and not knocking on afere a penalty and some lazy defence around the ruck.
However, when Pauli Pauli gets anything like match fit, he will frighten some opposition defences.
The thought of him and Big Dave on at the same time will be phenomenal.
Hampshire got better and had more influence as the game went on and Toupu was superb, would have been my MoM.

Think your being a bit over critical. Two rusty half teams in a demonstration games not sure what you expected tbh.

Plenty of positives in a tight game against a slightly better team.

Where did you here that?

Maybe, a little over critical but, last tackle penalties and not playing a ball correctly in possession aren't "rusty" errors.

Nobody was expecting a fast open game with length of the field moves, especially when Trinity were missing both of their first choice halves and you do have to allow for lack of match practice and of course, the result doesn't matter a jot. However, we shouldn't be making those particular errors in practice, never mind a competitive game.
Just my opinion of course.

Chessy mentioned it in hospitality after the game.

Maybe but I really don't think you can read much into today - both teams trying to entertain on a hard to play pitch.

That's a shame but seemed to be walking ok certainly better than TJ did when he did it. Fingers crossed.

TJ ruptured his Anterior Crucial Ligament which I gather is more serious than a medial injury, hopefully it won't be too bad and he can be back on deck for the first game of the season.

Missed 25 minutes today because of the shambles of a ticket kiosk. Turned up at 11 missed 25 minutes of the match. Was fuming as were many others queuing. What's going on? I also don't bother having a couple of pints and food because service and queues are ridiculous. I'm not choosing between game / food & beer. How much lost revenue before something's done.

Tickets have been on sale for weeks both online and in the store, the only shambles is the poor planning of the people who couldn't be bothered to organise their own lives earlier than boxing day morning, that's hardly the fault of the club

Was planning to get drinks from the kiosk behind the East stand. On arrival the kiosk was closed. Also noticed the Trinity bar on the Wrst terrace was closed. Lost revenue for the club.

So you can only go to a game if you plan weeks in advance? Whatever. I made a short notice decision to go and feel half hour early is enough to get in as would anybody else attending a match at any other ground.

Randal is injury prone - missed the most important games of the season last year and how many weeks out now?

jowitt was getting big wraps on the radio

Oh do shut up.

shut up about what? stating that he is injury prone= proof is in the pudding!!!!!!

Not according to chester, who stated that he was hardly ever injured when playing in australia. Just really unlucky so far here.
Anyway lets hope its nothing serious.
