I really hope they've used the break to take a step back and look at what has worked well (very little, admittedly) and what can be put right quite quickly (quite a lot). The Cas game particularly showed what they can achieve (I know Cas could have been better).

I'd also expect that with the CC break they'll be viewing the last few games as a mini season.

The Hudds game is very winnable and could set them up well for what's to come after that.

Trouble is it’s a bit like Groundhog Day and we keep saying/thinking this.

It was 6 out of last 8 games are at hom so we will be OK. Well we’ve lost the first 2 of those 8, both at home.

Hull KR at home was ‘winnable’ we lost.

Hull FC at home the week before their cup semi was ‘winnable’ we lost

Also Hudds will be thinking the exact same thing - this is one of their most winnable games left as well.

The one thing we have to try to fix is errors. They've been killing us all season and it comes down to individuals being responsible for ball control, tackling technique etc.

SL is of a standard where a relatively poor team like Leeds has a chance in every game if we have a high completion rate and work hard as a team in defence. Without that we'll keep losing 'winnable' games.

Errors and daft penalties.

We're pretty much at full health with the squad and maybe a break might have helped them physiologically more than physically. I think we'll go with

Lunt
Singleton
Sutcliffe
Martin
Merrin

Subs

Cuthbertson
Dwyer
Ferres
Peteru

Personally I would have Oldezki or Donaldson in for Peteru I know against hull it was his first game back but he was poor overall didn't carry well and came up with the most costly error in the game. We need 2 points this week just to settle ourselves for a nervous end to season Hudds our beatable but depends how we turn up hopefully we get the job done.

Not bad. Donaldson for Sutcliffe and Oledzki for Ferres for me.

Of course if this is another bad performance I darent think about the consequences

Re: SL RD 24 | Huddersfield Giants (A) : Wed Jul 31, 2019 7:01 am  

Well KR and London both SHOULD lose this weekend against cas and Salford. so if we can just manage to get the win it would be huge. Then another big game at home to Catalan, win that with KR away to Wigan, we should he safe imo as London should lose their next two.

Re: SL RD 24 | Huddersfield Giants (A) : Wed Jul 31, 2019 8:02 am  

I think both KRnt and London could win to be honest especially London. Wakefield wont and our game is a coin flip.

Win we could be 8th lose we could be bottom it's that tight.
