And why wouldn't it be Armageddon if we lost ? It would be the most embarrassing defeat on all time. I'm not one for sack the coach but if we lose ?

I would expect Smith to be let go if we lost, but that wasn’t my point.

There’s been plenty of embarrassing defeats, not that long ago getting knocked out of the cup by Bradford is up there! And we also lost to London at home in that year aswell

[Nothus]

Nailed on for London to score the first try of the game

 

I'll say 32-10 to Leeds.

If it's a big win for Leeds will it be "in Rohan we trust" again?

No, but it will stave off his sacking for some time at least.

[Chrispmartha]

Frawley dropped and Sinfield in. Go well Jack it’s your shirt to keep

Bet365 seem to only be giving London a 30 point head start which seems ... low.

Leeds were so bad last week that I think that's about right.

[tiffers]

Rhinos clearly a level above (hardly a shock), still far from convincing and wrong options being chosen several times already.

Feel like we're taking this for granted a bit...

[Archie Gordon]

Wow!

[Tommygilf]

Is Croft fit? Seems to be holding his leg a lot

Definitely feels like that. We've gone right off the boil and dropped the intensity to match London.

Erm. London's intensity looks high to me.

Thankfully was recovered, some good play by Miller has injected some life back into the side!

Croft is injured...

[StandOffHalf]

Brave from London in the opening stanza, but an average Leeds team look like they can crack them whenever they get a sniff.

[Chrispmartha]

Croft groin injury i think - he was tearing them apart aswell, but it was his uncharacteristic defensive mistake that led to their try. Lots on young Sinfields shoulders now but Leeds are only playing at half speed but individual layers are the difference with Miller causing havoc

I thought Leeds were well above them for 20mins and then dropped off for 10 or so. 

Subsequently ended the half better again.

Miller has been good so far. Too much pace!

Croft started the game well. Shame about the injury. Let's hope that isn't too bad...

[Chrispmartha]

London just struggling in their own half they look lively when they get in the other half

He didn’t look right from the off, seemed in pain when he scored his try

[Chrispmartha]

Dont think there was a single penalty in that first half!

[Chrispmartha]

Miller split them open again and goudemand scores
