Well with not alot of fit players, im hoping sandy can patch a side up to be competitive at headingley. Leeds also have a few injuries I think, but this game could be the perfect tonic after yesterdays fixture! Im hoping we take a good amount of fans, the prospect of seeing stanley in a shirt again!

haha

To be honesty apart from about 20 minutes we competed well in the derby. A win against leeds isn't impossible. Just very, very difficult.

Were on tele we will lose simple as

a few guys at work were saying Stan is signing up to play ?? surely a wind up ??

Humberside said it to sandy tongue in cheek! I think....

I know mike Fletcher is replacing Eden at full back so I suppose Stan could be playing

I'd be disappointed if Fletcher gets in before a fully fit George Fairburn

I hope that is the attitude in the team, having endured the game again on TV I have to agree with you. In a game of if's, if Hall's pass had gone to hand it would have been a diferent game all together. Friday night that pass might work they might not knock each other off a tackle. I just hope they can resist the brain explosions & stick to the game plan & at least Burns can't be as bad two games in a row. Roll on Friday

Obviously a big ask for you to win at Leeds, especially with Eden (and I assume Lovegrove) missing. CS needs to have a word with Burns and tell him to concentrate on playing football if you are to have any chance,

Roll on friday, we are underdogs and expected to be beaten, if we get a victory we should be safe for the playoffs if we arnt already.

You are in the play-offs whatever happens at Leeds. You will beat both London and Widnes.

Other than Eden, did anyone else pick up an injury ruling them out/or doubts for Friday?
Assuming no one is back from injury for selection, Caro in for Eden. Other than that, same squad?

Hall
Caro
Gleeson
Salter
D. Hodgson

Burns
Dobson

Tuimavave
J. Hodgson
Walker
Griffin
Cox
Mika

Carlile, Hepi, Netherton, Beaumont.

And the ref is.....Silverwood. At least that confirms the result. Might stay home and watch it on Sky now.

Silverwood is the best of a bad bunch (Hope no-one comes on here Friday night to say I told you so). His performance in the Dullers semi final was very good. Anyone but Thaliar.....

or Roby
or Halibut
or Bentham
or well you get my drift.

Paterson can't be too far away and Horne and Brown as well, plus I expect Rhys will make the squad.

I forgot about Withers, so he'll be back - so that does open up the option (if necessary) to play Hodgson J, in the back row.

should make life interesting...

Craig Sandercock pre empts everyone laughing at him again by saying;

Fair enough we're likely to get humped on Friday, but seeing how a couple of the kids step up probably makes it more likely that I'll go. I remember Scott Taylor's debut there three (was it?) years ago. That and the now traditional couple of scoops in Arcadia before the game.

Taylor's debut was 2009 in the Play off game. Time flies mate, bit like your good self when migrating.

Wasn't that the game were chev walker grazed his leg as well

I think that was the league game early in the following season, not 100% sure though.

The playoff game in 2009 was Taylor's debut along with the broken leg to Chev.

I stand corrected ( as does Chev now)

Mick Vella moved to centre too.

I think you will hold your own tbh
