I agree Leigh will be a tough ask.

Leigh are really annoying: I mean fair play to them genuinely they’ve done terrifically well. It just seems wrong that they can be better than Leeds with all our history and resources and academy etc…. Anyway. Hopefully we put in another good performance and start to build real confidence and swagger.

This is what can happen in a salary capped sport if you get it mostly right.

Leigh will struggle if they continue to pick up injuries their squad is light.



They were pretty lucky in that regard last season which helped them.

There are benefits to growing your own talent on the salary cap; plus marquees you can pretty much spend as much as you can afford there can’t you? So it’s not an entirely level playing field…



I’m quite up for this one, early season but we should still be climbing the table.

Just realised, RE thread title it's not Centurions anymore

Big losses Ipape, Asiata and Briscoe. Helps Leeds chances.

Ipape is phenomenal on his day. Looks like Dwyer might be lining up against Ackers?



Briscoe is solid but probably not a huge loss (like he wasn't for us) - Asiata is a bit grubby but good, they might miss him.



Nice interviews with Holroyd and Ruan on the Rhinos media: imagine they will both play again.

Reckon it will be another tough game.



In the main we defended with great resilience v Catalan, who I thought played far too much one man out stuff, I don’t remember Johnstone getting a single pass off good ball.



Reckon we did not play the ball in their 20 until 55th minute, we fought hard and got the win but my wider doubts are around how often the rope a dope stuff can work v a quality side playing well.



Croft, Newman and Handley all very good , hope they can do it again and hope

It’s a dry track.



Bentley’s effort will be a miss but he needs to start playing a lot smarter and stop

Reacting to everything. Old enough now

Sounds like Oledski is close to a return, that will make a big difference if he's fit.

Unless things change the weather is supposedly dry this week. So the pitch should be in reasonably good condition. Hopefully we can complete our first few sets with a 100% completion rate. First 20 minutes against Catalan was a nightmare, if we get plenty of early field position we should win this one.

Id really like to see us come out firing in the first half, we did against KR but on a better pitch we should be able to make more of it, and also please no yellow or red cards!!!!
