Not surprised about Long.



Moa must be wondering what he has to do to get a regular place in the side. Hopefully those picked instead will have a stormer.

Ganson injured in the warm up. Silverwood to take over the reffing duties.

That's not good. Silverwood is crap.

Very very strong Leeds side with Peacock back and us without Long, Berro and our only winger. Very big ask.

Spirit of 2005 needed today. Is Turner injured as Washbrook looks too slow for a half whenever I have seen him - still, hope he is on fire today. C'mon you ulla!!

Somebody needs to sit Sinfield on his backside early on.

According to the Beeb, Peacock was a last-minute switch for Lautiti as the latter picked up an injury. Peacock has only just had his boot removed and may not be fully fit.

Ah, right. We're watching pictures without commentary as it's 6.40 am here and the kids are asleep.

Looks a really good crowd, I know the majority are in for nothing but, the ground looks great - lets hope the games lives up to the setting.

Nerves are killing me.

Early penalty. Briscoe stays up really well sio invites a second go or ball steal from the defence.

Benefit of doubt?, shoelace in touch!.
