Really looking forward to the game - should be a good contest.

No idea how you won that game last night (that Hudds winger should be shot for the tackle in the air, hat-trick or no hat-trick) but if you turn up and move the ball like the last 20 it should be a heck of a game!

Let’s hope it’s a good one mate. All the best

Saints are the best team in Super League by a distance at the moment. We will have to be good to challenge them.

not sure I can agree with this statement. Fisrt game back post lockdown they beat a poor side convincingly but pre lockdown they were not looking like a cohesive unit at all

Indeed -we were very patchy pre-lockdown for sure. Few injuries in the backs didn't help but I think the break has done us more good than any other team as we put everything into the WCC and looked goosed the next couple of weeks.

We need to be patient. Not so long ago we were dead donkeys desperately hoping to avoid the canning factory. We're not a thoroughbred racehorse yet. Still a few real quality players short and still need some of the youth talent to develop.

Super League ain't what it used to be but to win trophies I still think Leeds need to be near optimum.

Another 2-3 years, IF we make the right signings and IF the young lads achieve some potential, we'll be about right again. It's amazing we're looking as competitive as we are now after the shocking hole we got ourselves in.

He will make just as much ground in next 6 weeks as he would if he was playing. Good defender tho to be fair to him.

I'm not his biggest fan but that is harsh.

Lui looked fat and unfit. i know he is generally a bigger unit for the position he plays but looked bigger still. same goes for Hurrell, looked like he had been eating very well during lock down!
