That's my choice, Very inexperienced bench but how much choice do we really have? French John to play the full 80 he's proved he's more then capable.

We've got feck all chance here.

As my incredibly boring friend who resembles Heinrich Himmler noted, "Operation Certain Loss".

Luckily I get to go to Arcadia afore times and see my old Leeds muckers.

The game will pan out as thus; spirited Rovers performance, entertaining game and close until about fifteen minutes from time when McGuire scores his traditional brace, unless I see him Rothwell Morrison's tomorrow and an unfortunate trolley incident befalves him...

Goose, I am gobsmacked by the news that you have an incredibly boring friend. Unless that bell end Ian Milward is who you mean!

Those " incredible powers of perception" again!

Rovers by 8 points, more of a hope than expectation but our back line & halfs are as good as anyone in this league, they have nothing to loose as no one gives them a chance, Just depends how our pack plays? Just as long as it is not another display like the Wigan away league game I will be happy.

That 19 from Leeds is a bit good isn't it.
Our backs, which are our big strength, are beaten in every position apart from stand off and their pack is light years ahead of the one that Rovers are going to be sending out.
With all that considered then I can't see past a convincing Rovers win.

Well, I thought we gave it go tonight.

Leeds were always in control for me, but at times we looked like we could pull off a shock.

Effort and commitment was there and we clearly came with a game plan due to our lack of forwards that nearly worked.

We lost but were still a pleasure to watch.

I really think Ollett looks a player that could develop, Holker did himself proud and Esselmont didn't look out of place. Not an easy place to go Headingley, and they did OK.

More plaudits to Boudebza who again played big minutes and defended very well, his tackle technique is perfect for a man of his size.

The young Wigan lad Greenwood stood up.

We played some smart training ground combinations at times tonight that the players seem to know really well, we look off the cuff, but we're not, these are practised moves that Chester must be implementing and although Campese had a quiet game, they all went through him.

My criticism would be that Blair wasn't as involved as he should have been and Cox needed to step up but looks unfit and gassed after ten minutes.

Campese's kicking from ball in hand was not good and we had no second option with Cockayne kicking on the fifth at least twice which is not a good idea.

Was sat next to Gene at Hull last night, he was talking to a friend, he mentioned than he was trying to sign Sonny as he had been told he would be released by Rovers at the end if the year, I'm guessing that is Esslemont.
