Leeds the next match. : Sun Feb 24, 2019 4:25 am  

We can win this game, but to do this at their new ground & with a party atmosphere we will have to be totally focused for the full 80 minutes ensuring their early onslaught fails and most importantly we match their speed + read their game plays. In particular we must stop konrad, he plays the same as former Bradford's -vino/kola - the beast, he knows he intimidates defenders & steam rollers over them or through them !!!
This is a "tester for Chester" to get, the/a, game plan in place, a plan to deal & minimize Hurrell, while the team execute the plan to the letter for 80 minutes. Leeds have started to play at high speed !
If we do not do any of these things we need to do, we will get hammered.
However, let's perform & up the Trin !!

Very much looking forward to this

Agree re defending against KH
broughy and reece are very capable defenders

I have a good feeling about about Friday nights game for us

Re: Leeds the next match. : Sun Feb 24, 2019 8:51 am  

Really looking forward to this one.
Leeds have made a solid start to the season, narrowly beaten by Saints, comfortable victory over Salford and a decent performance against Wigan but, comfortably beaten at Wire.
If we could erase our game against London, Trinity are doing ok, with a hard fought win against Catalan and a narrow reverse against Saints.
Leeds will start favourites but, they are beatable and at the moment, they are conceding plenty of points.

Could be a fairly high scoring game and it should be close 28 - 24 but not sure which side will score the 28. Lets hope its Trinity.

Come on Trin !

Looks like everyone else will give London the expected thrashings. We have effectively given the rest of Super League a two competition points start regardless of any bonus wins we achieve.

Could go either way this one. Really depends on how we face the atmosphere and don't get intimidated.We have the players to do it do we have the heart? time will tell.

Re: Leeds the next match. : Sun Feb 24, 2019 9:45 am  

From what I saw against Saints, the Leeds left side is their potent attacking threat. If fit I would play kirmo because on his day he is a great defender and he would make that edge of ours more secure.

However its just our luck that they come at us the other way. I thought Watkins was quiet at Saints but expect him to be far more involved on Friday.

I am not expecting a win because it seems like yet again we have been chosen to be the sacrificial lambs at someones party and everything will be stacked against us.

You make me laugh ‘must stop Hurrell’ as if he’s some kind of supersrar when in fact he’s just a big lump. Belly used to spout the same nonesense about Carnegie at Cas and that threat never materialised.

Why over egg this ordinary player? The question should be how will he cope against the mini-beast! How will he cope against BJB and especially TJ and Hampshire who have the kind of pace that can leave lumps like him flat on their Harriss.

If we are to beat Leeds it will mean beating the whole team not just one over exaggerated player.

Do I think Hurrell is any good? Yes he’s pretty good. Is he an unstoppable machine like a Jamie Lyons? Not even close, get stuck into Leeds from the start and he won’t be a threat. There are certainly other Leeds players I worry about more.

Hmm I remember Carney running through us with ease. Millennium game springs to mind.
Hurrell is good and will run through us too if we don't concentrate.
However he looked better at Sts because they had a second row in centre who didn't know how to defend in centre. I think Lyne will be fine. Important role for the second row inside him.
I'd also run Hampshire down his channel. He isn't the most agile. He can be shown up.

Big game though. Will be difficult.

I remember that I also remember that anybody could have done that to us on the day we were so bad.

I also remember a seaon earlier Peter Fox slamming Carnie into touch time and time again - the bloke never got a look in. Was Peter Fox a brilliant player? No he was just committed.

Hurrell burst onto the NRL scene and had a few goodish seasons and gained some notoriety by breaking Tupou’s face in a cowardly tackle. That to me is not the mark of a great player/ I know it impresses some but not me.

Could he rip us apart? Yes if we let him but do could a lot of players given the chance and that also applies to a number of our players.

The last Aussie back who I thought to be a genuine cut above in SL was Lyons and Vinakola the rest have been far more repution than actual action - imo.

I agree with you. He can be stopped. He's no Lyon. He was a step above.
I would say Gidley was up there too.
