Leeds by 24.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Leeds comfortably. I'll say by 30.

[M j M]

Ash Handley and Jarrod O'Connor out for Leeds, joining Keenan Palasia and Ryan Hall who missed last week.

Jack Bird will replace Handley, not sure how Arthur will deal with the hooker role, might be tough for Levi to do 80 minutes in hot weather. 

Presume Watkins will captain in Handley's absence.

Despite this on paper Leeds should still be too strong - but it is Cas away and things can spiral out of control in this match quite quickly.

Another potential Banana Skin for Leeds, we should have too much even with the players missing, but Cas away has sometimes proved a tricky fixture for us

It doesn't matter what happened in the past,last week at Catalans proved that. Iam not saying it will be easy tonight but Leeds aren't top for nothing.

Plenty of examples in this fixture in the past where people have been saying this before the game and it has all come apart during it.

Not really, this one has a particularly special history.

Not seen Bird that much this season but from what I have seen he is not in the class of Handley. Out of all the players you have out, Ash will be the biggest miss

Looks like a nice day in Cas and a decent crowd in! Lets see a good game as well!

[The Hallucinating Goose]

So the council estate window here doesn't even have any glass in it and we're also treated to some rusty girders! 

[The Hallucinating Goose]

I think that was literally on the 1 min mark that Leeds start the battering!

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Interesting decision to take the 2 there but I suppose it keeps the points ticking over.

[OMEGA]

Jesus H Christ is that Ryan Carr you can hear screaming and shouting from the Coach’s Box?

 

[Just Browny]

He's thrown that a long way forward.

[Trinity1873]

Forward pass in there for that try

13 mins in and Cas have their first attacking set.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

And Brodie Croft just jogs the length of the field for Leeds' 3rd try.

They need to resolve that soon. The way this is going he’ll do well not to sweat or say something he regrets being broadcast. Not sure who is to blame but the commentators at least are aware of it so they need to let some one know to change it.

And Leeds scored from it

Was quite funny hearing Wells say "it usually takes Asi awhile to set up his kick" and it cuts to the replay of Asi taking 5 seconds to get the kick off
