I look forward to the reason for his absence, maybe the knock was slightly worse than they thought. It doesn’t help with the stories of moving mid season.

It looks like we are onto plan E which is go with a squad of experienced players with the exception of Hall in the hope this will be the answer.

Doesn’t look to have changed too much.

I’m expecting a Leeds win.

So there are potentially 7 props in that squad?!

I don't think the forwards were the issue at Toulouse to be honest.

The forwards made good yards and got the halfbacks to good positions yet they couldn't use them well enough.

Agreed, the pack did it's job but, nowhere near enough creativity or guile to break down what has been a weak (Toulouse) defence.

We have to start with Fifita and at least try and get on the front foot.

A spell from the start and then back on for the last 15.

If you look at the stats, Fifita. Arona and Whitbread all made good ground and didn't miss tackles. I'd start with them at 8 10 and 13

We made a great start in France, looked really solid, albeit without looking like scoring.

Getting to the right end of the field wasn't the problem, opening the opposition up and/ or building pressure was more difficult.

There was a serious swirling breeze though and Toulouse made better use of those conditions than we did, not to mention the heat.

I know the way we are playing that it’s becoming irrelevant who’s in charge, but let’s hope for the best

Leeds Rhinos v Wakefield Trinity



20th May, KO: 20:00



M Com: D. Milburn

Referee: C. Kendall

Reserve Referee: K. Moore

Touch Judge 1: L. Rush

Touch Judge 2: N. Horton

In Goal: T. Gibbs

In Goal 2: A. Sweet

Time Keeper: S. Williams

Far more pressure on Leeds than us on Friday.

If we can keep it tight or, better still, get in front, their fans will be very restless.

This is definitely a winnable game. We need to be a bit braver with ball in hand and

most importantly, have a decent kicking game.
