All 4 Championship sides are capable enough. Leigh and Fev wouldn't have been out of their depth either.Toulose and London play a fairly open game from what I've seen and last middle 8s I thought London's back 5 were probably the slickest unit in the comp?Yes we have been on an upward curve last month or so and the team looks strong but im still nervous as a fan and a win on Friday would make me a whole lot more confident

Having been here bedore every year, I just hope we can replicate 2015. The big difference between 2016 and now is that in '16 we couldn't close out games. However, we are still fragile if we lose key players. We do have depth but sone of them are weak (Marsh and Lee).

Hopefully J Carney and Vaivai will be ready again and maybe Lawler. I think the combo of Hall and Crooks on one side and Vaivai and Carney on the other is quite potent. Atkin and Mags of course and Lunt with Lawler as an interchange. That's where T Carney comes in. If Lawler not fit, Atkin as Lunt interchange and T Carney and Mags at halfback. We've plenty of decent forwards at the moment even if our strongest weapon is suspended for the first game.

I'm a fax fan. I've backed KR at 3/1 to come top.
How on earth the bookies have Leeds at around 6/5???

They are in for a massive shock. Believe me.

Thanks for that vote of confidence.

I hope Fax pick up a win or two, if not more (just not against us). I think Widnes and Leeds are there for the taking at the moment. I also think Toronto might choke. Rowley has previous in this area.

Cheers Jeff,

I can understand why Leeds are favourites when you look at their squad and their past performances over the longer term, but when you break down their recent form I'm sure there will be some squeaky bums in the Leeds camp.

We know from experience that the Championship clubs pose a threat and if teams like Fax get themselves into the game, they are very hard to shake off. If Scruton hadn't crashed over with 5 minutes left in the qualifier game last year we would have found that out the hard way!

I don't think Leeds are going to have any great difficulties in retaining their Super League place.

They start with games against Toulouse at home and then a trip to London. That should give them a good start and build their confidence. With another 3 home games after that and an away game at Halifax they should easily accumulate at least 5 wins.

Leeds.

Too nervous to enjoy anything at the moment.

Bricking it.
