Get ready for a sockfest from our our world famous neighbours

Let them say what they want i wonder if hudgey would be giving even more tickets away if there opener would have been catalans on sky? he knows leeds travel well hence the lets break the attendance record.

Who cares about Rovers, this is a thread about outer squad, some people moan about rovers been obsessed but are just as bad.

Back on topic, we have to get our attics right and keep it tight until half time, like the cup game and play off they will tire and they aren't the fitness team and we can then exploit their big forwards.

Discipline and patience are the keys to winning this game.

With Carvell I'm am confident our forwards can match there's.

So you think 3,700 walk up's? a crap weather forecast, to go with on TV, no away fans, Valantines Day, hope I'm wrong but I think will be around 9,000 - 9,500

You been on the pop Dave

I wish, stupid apple predictive text!!!

Thought we had sold 8k passes? theres quite a few cheap tickets been bought through junior rugby also, i would have thought atleast 2k would be paying on the gate new start, few new players, new coaching team, valentines day been with the loved ones..........FC!

Think AP said 7100, think it will be around 9000.

Which isn't great, but expected with no away support, on TV and a disappointing pre season.

Need to win and start playing to get some fans back.

On the FC website its touching 8k, well thats what it looks like, you are right need to start off well & get a few wins, hopefully attracting a few more spectators.

We beat this Cats team 3 times last year and imo their pack isn't as good as it was. If we can't get on top of this lot at home it's going to be a long old season.

Thompson & Arundle to miss out for me.

Will take a lot of convincing that Thompson is worthy of even a place on the bench.

How will he convince if he doesn't play?

7,300 according to AP at the recent fans forum, forecast now looking even worse it will be similar to when we played Catalans in the playoffs (hopefully the result as well as the weather)

they both can not miss out as that means one of the halves would have to sub

Exactly. Give the guy a chance.

I know that there were some complaints about the amount of Promo's last season (friend for a fiver etc) but hope we have targeted schools with some freebies for our fixtures against Catalans & London were the North stand is not in use. Need to get kids hooked at an early age

Not a bad squad, Bowden and Arundel to miss out for me. Looking forward to this game but I hope Radford has a plan to stop Pomeroy in the centre for cats. I think he'll rip it up in superleague this season. Hope Yeamo can look after him all night with some Richie Barnett senior type defence!

You hoping we go with only three props? How can you leave Bowden out, he's been one of the better props in pre season.

You can't go up against Cats with only 3 props.

We certainly have to go with 4 props so Bowden has to play but i wasn't that impressed with him against Rovers.

Not sure about the other friendlies.

Exactly what I want - him not to play

And your point is?

Why?

He's probably seen him play 3 or 4 maximum times and wrote him off.

Don't tell me, tell RusselBarwich
