Well here we go again. This time we are opening the New north stand. Playing against a full time professional team with ex Leeds players who will have something to prove. Is this ground hog day. Not looking forward to this one.

A silent welcome to the field would demonstrate that the fans, who pay their wages, are unhappy with their efforts. No booing, just silence. Its all right Hurrell yesterday trying to urge the fans to get behind the team but when are the well paid professionals going to demonstrate that they are earning their salaries. Time for the players to pull their fingers out!

Well we keep saying we hope to see some sort of reaction from the squad after every bad loss. We've just seen one of our worst ever, so if there was ever going to be some sort of bounceback now is the time. Sadly I expect we're likely to see more of the same dross and cop a beating.

I dont know what to say about any upcoming game anymore .Agar cancelled players day off I would have thought they would be clamoring to come in to put things right

A bounceback win could only happen if the whole squad drew a line in the sand. I just don't see that they have that kind of gumption as a group. More likely we'll compete for a bit, let in some tries and then fold. Cas' focus should be on coming out of the gates flying and trying to blow us away early.

We are so soft in defence and forwards you could see peacocks frustrations at the half time against bulls. We couldn’t control the ruck against the bulls. Prepared for a loss just want to see a change in attitude we need someone in that pack to grow a pair of ball and drag the rest of the team with them. We don’t need to win but we all need to see a change in attitude especially in defence. This squad is poor but defence is about attitude we need to see an improved attitude.
If I was cas a fast start with an early lead could result in heads going down and a big score against us

The silence on the new coach is deafening. A complete lack of respect for the fan base by the club. I am seriously considering giving up my ticket for Thursday and watching at home. I can't do with the nonsenical look at me brigade regarding a poncy new stand, when the only thing I, and I believe the majority of Rhinos fans are interested in is the new coaching strucutre going forward. Stop taking us for fools Hetherington, and give us some respect.

Though Cas are crap at the moment their commitment is still admirable. I do think if Cas build up an early lead Leeds' heads will drop. I'm just not sure Cas back line is good enough currently however.
