After last weeks performance you are entitled to be up beat and optomistic.

Might be better though if your assessment of the potential dangers were more accurate.

Try checking Ali's try scoring record against you first.....

Off loads are the key to Leeds success, stop them reduces there attacking options by 70% there kicking game isnt that good..Also Diskins runs from dummy half usually finds us out, sure up the middle, stop the offloads and Drew,obst and Demetriou take charge and you never know we might just get a result. Backing up on a friday night after playing sunday has never been our strength though...

after last nights lucky guess of 42 think you have this spot on about the off loads, I mentioned too last night that its impressive, but all they have to do is watch for the off load and get the in your face attitude going again

I'd start Atkins on the bench with Gleeson and Martin in centres. I'm one of the few Trin supporters who thinks Atkins still have to prove himself afer all the hype of his first great season with us. Plus, Martin and Gleeson have form whereas Atkins is fresh from injury.

We do have the ability to move the team around; I'd like to see Atkins in te pack at some point, he's big enough and I'd like to see if he can cope. Grix and Obst are interchangable in half-back/pack positions.

My reckoning is that Trin will aim to come out strong in the first twenty; nothing too expansive, keep to those great attacking plays - down the middle till the line is within sight and let Obst do his thing out wide.

The defence needs to be tight; two-three men on the tackle, wrapping the ball up every time to prevent the off-loads and line breaks Leeds are relient on. Wakey need to be wary of the Leeds pack as well.

Leeds are without their first choice centres and full back, so Trin's great kicking game will be even more crucial to unsettle Leeds, force error and maintain field position.

If the lads can keep it close in the first twenty it'll lift their confidence and bolster their already brimming passion and defiance, which will see them through the rest of the match. The longer Trin can stem the Leeds go-forward and unsettle their back line in kicks, the more likely the South Standers are going to get agitated and get on Leeds' backs.

I looked at the team that beat Leeds at Headingley last. Overall I think we have a far stronger team now than then

Having said that I can see a win, or at least a very tight match, against Leeds tonight, but can just as easily see us losing to Salford by six tries to three next week.

He was talking about Ali's offloading of the ball. I was just trying to remind you all of his other assets....

Like the record scoring feat 5 tries...and off the bench at that....

You didnt bother to read my posts then....

but just to help you understand....i was simply pointing out you were in danger of highlighting only one of Ali's strengths...and not his strongest one at that.

However luckily for you I dont think JK will be making the same mistake.
