thoughts on this one? Leeds are not playing well at all, but they do have talent in the team, hurrel is going to be a handful he is certainly going to test the defence on that side! So far we have not travelled well. Struggling to even score away from home so far. Realistic expectations? A loss by 2 scores for me, but we need to at least get on the scoreboard.
Leeds will be under immense pressure. If we were to score early their fans will be straight on their backs. For us nobody gives us a chance and we travel there more in hope than expectation.
Interestingly Broncos are as low as 5/1 and leeds huge favourites with the bookies at 1/8. I see it a lot closer IMO. Most importantly we need to get to a good start and ideally get the first try. If its close at Half time, we will grow in confidence.
For those who were at the Saints game - did we pick up any injuries?
Get a couple of early scores and this could be like Widnes away in the 8s last season. Let them get a few and their confidence could grow as the game progresses. We need a good start to get their fans on their backs.

Don`t worry about us scoring first. We have done that before and got well beat e.g last week. We are lacking in confidence but have a performance in us somewhere as we proved against Saints and Salford. On the flip side we have not performed against Wakefield and Hull. The bookies are giving you 16 start and I have not got a clue who I would bet on.
