Expect Achurch to play. No way will the sleeve allow a man on (allegedly) astronomical wages sit at home

Well he would scare us now and he did scare us but only a little bit last October

You mean I pointed it out on here and you've twigged onto it that's it's a real possibility.

Don't worry those other Magic weekend defeats came under Sinfield and Peacock's coaching.

Worst two teams in the competition playing in the showpiece slot, should be err interesting

What was the highest defeat?

Leeds have to win a game sometime this season next Saturday would be a good time to start.

It can't possibly be as bad as Thursday night and it is unlikely that Wigan will play as well as Cas who played the best of any side Leeds have played this season

Not convinced by that last bit. Think a championship club would have beat us comfortably on Thursday. We were even more comfortably beaten by Widnes, performance wise, and yet as bad as we were, we were better than Thursday. Cas showed, as Hull showed last night, a desire to work hard and together makes you a lot stronger, and sets the platform for everything else. We are yet to show that this year, the glue needs re-sticking.

I thought Cas were good they should have scored 70 simple plan executed really well.

We have too many average players in our team - Gary needs to spend some serious cash, unless we are in the championship

I agree they were good, very good, but that was a very poor Leeds team. Wigan were beat comfortably last night, but I still reckon they would have beaten that Cas side on Thursday, as they wouldn't allowed them to play that way.

The average players situation has always been there, during the successful era. Too many fans placed too much plaudits to average players. Certain ones were instrumental, and that comes home to light when not replaced.
