Discuss Leeds Rhinos v Huddersfield Giants here.

[Chrispmartha]

Anyones guess with the amount of injuries both sides have, Leeds have

Walker

Broadbent

Sutcliffe

Hurrell

Gale

Mellor

Prior

Oledski

all injured (only Prior out of that list is not out for the season)

And Martin banned

I know Hudds have a similar amount out

Leeds have been decimated by injuries all year, Oledski, Gale and Hurrell all have a chance of been back in the play offs but are ruled out of the regular season.

The Times 2 section of today's edition of The Times has a feature about Rob Burrow and his new book.

From elsewhere, I understand that he will be at the game against the Giants and that his book will be launched there.

I look forward to reading the book which I am sure will be a very moving read.

[Davo5]

Leeds to edge it.

He should bring his boots.

I'm guessing Leeds will be depleted and go down bravely to Huddersfield's reserves this week as Salford managed a shock win over them last week

Leeds resurgence was built on two of the best props in the league. Along with a bunch of others they are now out for the season so it is indeed going to be a difficult task to win this one.

[Loiner]

Both sides missing quite a few players, this game will be so close it will come down to who kicks there goals, and seeing we are down to at least our 4th choice I can only see a Giants win. +6

Leeds by 12.

McLelland makes a break and Ash Handley benefits.

Leeds 4 Hudds 0.

[Old Frightful]

Hudds level the scores with Will Pryce sneaking over in the corner.

Leeds 4 Hudds 4, ktc.

It would appear that Radio Leeds have taken a leaf out of Blunderside's book in entirely biased commentary.

The word "lucky" appearing several times in that last try description.

Conversion missed but Hudds really sounding good, if not "lucky", at the moment.

"An unlucky bounce for Leeds....but Richie Myler gets the try"

Lord knows how they'll do if they ever get lucky.

Handley converts with 4 mins of the first half left, Leeds 10 Hudds 4.

[Old Frightful]

Arf tarm, 10-4.

It was lucky it was a blatant knock on

 

Both sides look tired and depleted

Terry O'Connor enjoying a lengthy chat with Stuart Lancaster in the North Stand.

Got all the celebs around us this evening, Wayne Pryce off to the left and Ryan Bailey a couple of rows in front.

The half time commentary on Radio Leeds is brilliant!

Are you accusing Tim Steere of being a Leeds fan ?
