bookies dont always get it right my betfred account is showing that from bradford game.

They don't always but they do most of the time.

This one though, is based on last season. No one knows how we'll fair.
If we beat Leeds those odds will change fast.

Tough game this. My heart is saying us, my head is saying Leeds by 12. As always would love to be wrong. That would be a big old scalp to take in round 1, I bet the boys will be raring to go.

The loss of Scott shifted my confidence a little bit.
From having a strong attacking option we have a left centre playing right opposite Newman.

Pratt will either have a hard day or show the world how good he is.
Looking forward to finding out.

I’m expecting a pretty even contest against a mid table team. Leeds are the 8th best team in SL and not the team they were a few years ago. If we go and take it to them I can see a win.

Home advantage gives them the edge but I’m going to go to Leeds blindly confident in the team to get the points.

I’ve been outspoken on here regarding Pratts size etc, but he’s showed up excellent in Pre-Season. Now’s his chance to absolutely cement his spot and leave hall and Scott to scrap for the other position. He’ll be up against a decent centre Saturday aft so let’s hope he hype is real and does the business.

For many this will be their first SL game, so they will need time to adjust. I recall a winger named Murphy who did quite well despite a less than promising start against Leeds.
