Quote ="TommysDad"They will come out like lighting in the first quarter, but the weekend's game has surely taken a lot out of them both physically and mentally.
If we hold them, or take a decent early lead ourselves, I can't see them rising to their usual standards, [ionly if we let them. [/i'"
We need to batter them in the forwards early to ensure that they don't get the chance to get a roll going, but we need to play better than we have for some time.
Defensively we need to be on the ball for the full 80 as Wire were (pretty much) and wrap the ball carrier up to stop them offloading. Leeds, like many teams, are a confidence team and if we let them get confidence early on by allowing them freedom to play they'll rip us a new one before half time.
Going forward I'm fully expecting our pack to dominate theirs giving Long, Horne and Berro/Houghton the opportunity to dictate play and get the ball wide to the centres/wingers.
If we believe and play to our potential across the 17, we can win this one easily.
