I think it will be Shorrocks to LF and Smithies to SR with either Cust or Hampshire at HB.
Although Leeds are consistently inconsistent I honestly don’t see how we turn this around unless there are major improvements in attack and defence. I do see our defence improving but our attack has been hit and miss all season and without Field and Marshall our backline currently looks pretty pedestrian. Leeds targeted Smith last week and I can see the same tactics being applied again on Saturday. Close Smith down and we have very few option. Can’t see us scoring more than 12 which probably won’t be enough to win the tie. Hope that I am wrong.
I was extremely confident up until the collapse last week but now I’m not sure what to expect. I think we’ll get back to the sort of intensity we showed around the Saints/Wire games but has our confidence took too big a hit? And in turn, have we raised Leeds Leeds confidence to a level where things start to stick for them?
Leeds have Seizer and Mc Donnell back which is a boost to them. We can still win and Ellis coming back in is great. Leeds blow hot and cold and we loose our heads when we go down or something goes wrong. We need to stick to completing sets kicking to touch and restricting their meters and stop going for the panicked let’s score on every play. Still looking forward to this one and if we loose so be it. As long as it isn’t in the manner of last week
Biggest game of the year so far. Never confident against Leeds especially at Headingly.
Hopefully sneak through this then get Field and the props back and see where we are.
Bookies have us slight favourites but we were 10 point favourites last week!
Hopefully Ellis is fit and we need others to step up rather than waiting for Smith/French to do something.
I’m dreading it!
RICHARDS IS SUPERMAN!!!!
