Leeds the game : Fri Feb 12, 2021 9:25 am
Mods, started a new thread as I think the old one has gone (rightly) in another direction. So this one is about the actual match.For Trinity. We have one mission, to win. Two years ago CC team reached a point where we looked like we had finally arrived. So much so TJ felt the need to point it out to the brain dead SKY man. Then the wheels fell off, 95% injuries but all the same we have not yet shown a genuine recovery. We need to send a message out and show we are back if the players aren't up for that it's going to be a long hard season.
For Leeds. I can't make Leeds or Agar out, to be honest. Clearly not the Leeds of ten years ago or even five. Yet they won the CCup last year whilst we still look a million miles away from that. Agar had one good year with us then went backwards in a big way, yet to my surprise, he hasn't done a bad job at Leeds with by there standards a small budget.
Yet when I look at Leeds I just don't see the quality I once did and I think many Leeds fans feel the same. Assuming Gayle doesn't recover in time and knowing our luck he will I don't see much game craft. Ditto there new signings, all quality but are they enough? We shall see.
Should hopefully be a good game because we certainly have no excuses. Fully fit for the first time in two years with as good a close season as anyone else and Leeds not really having much in the way of a 'home' advantage.
