What do you expect out of the game? Im hoping Leeds can put together more than 40 minutes of good Rugby on Friday but its always a tough place to go is your patch. Maybe the odd 4 in it.

Im assuming that means you're not confident?
I just feel that you will raise your game for us just as we seem to have timed it for this tough month where we have Wigan, you, Catalan, you again and Bradford (although that should be a walk in the park looking at them now )
Well we have had a few warm up games, so its time to see what we have in our team. Were not looking to slick so I wouldnt be to surprised if we got beat. Big game, big test, lets see if our boys step up at this early stage of the season and give us fans a boost oh what so far is a flat year.
Given the option of a win on Friday night, or a win in the CC at Headingley, I would go for the CC win anyday.

Snap.
The league isn't lost in one game (Grand Final aside obviously), but the CC is. CC win over this one for me too.
I got a post card from T! She’s living on the streets of Seattle and she referred to herself as a ‘gutter punk’!
TBF we have not been slick at all until Friday either. But Burrow is back now and he single handedly took Wigan apart in that 1st half. Also Leeds have (from nowhere) started playing deep in attack. One instance on Friday the PTB was on the 20 and the far winger was stood on the halfway, and that IMO was why Burrow and McGuire were so good. Given room they can kill any team so I hope this deep attack continues.
As for the CC I wouldnt mind a trip to Wembley this year but I would prefer the SL title out of the 2. Friday means nothing in the scheme of things though... it's just good to get bragging rights though

I've very little confidence of a win against Leeds on Friday given our performances to date, especially since Leeds seem to have hit form (Damn! Couldn't they have waited another couple of weeks!). And I'm not talking about our youngsters either. If it was just the youngsters who were dropping balls and making errors and showing no flair in attack then I wouldn't be concerned: that's all part of learning the trade. But our senior players (with individual exceptions in individual matches) are playing in a similar fashion and so I have very little confidence of a win against Leeds on Friday.
I'm still going to the match, though, and will be cheering and shouting and generally doing my thing as usual. I'd be happy at this stage in the season just to watch a match in which we show something of the qualities we had last season. After all, we're pretty much the same team.
For some reason, i'm pretty confident that not only will we win, we will quite comfortably. I just have a feeling it will click on Friday, hopefully i am right.
