Leeds Rhinos v New Zealand - 23rd October

[Harrigan]

I went when leeds played melbourne in 2013..there was 20,400 in that night and it was rammed..

I've had this convo with my grandad before. He's played there when there's been 30,000+ there in the 50s! The ground hasn't changed that much since then! How the hell they've had 42,000 in there before is beyond me! Must have been sat on each other's shoulders

Its like watersheddings...in 1995 we played huddersfield in the 1/4s of the challange cup and there was 9000+ and it was scary..

The record attendance at sheddings was 24,000+ christ on a bike f**k that lol

Leeds have named their team for tomorrow night too


1. Ashton Golding
2. Tom Briscoe
3. Jimmy Keinhorst
4. Joel Moon
5. Ash Handley
6. Danny McGuire
7. Jordan Lilley
8. Kylie Leuluai
9. Robbie Ward
10. Adrian Morley
11. Ali Lauitiiti
12. Josh Walters
13. Adam Cuthbertson

14. Mitch Garbutt
15. Anthony Mullally
16. Brad Singleton
17. Mitch Achurch
18. Robbie Mulhern
19. Jordan Baldwinson

Only 9 guys who played in the grand final.

Missing from that game are

Zak Hardaker, Ryan Hall and Kallum Watkins (England duty)

Jamie Peacock, Kevin Sinfield, Brett Delaney, Carl Ablett, Paul Aiton and Rob Burrow. The first two have "left the club" and the other 4 are injured.

On top of this Leeds are also missing Stevie Ward, Liam Sutcliffe and Jamie Jones-Buchanan who would all be in the first grade if everyone was fit.

It's a shame but it's still a pretty strong line up and the Leeds kids are some of the best in the country.

Ashton Golding is the current England Academy Full Back and Ash Handley is the England academy winger. Handley played 20 first grade games this year filling in for injured players and scored 13 tries including 2 hat tricks.

Some of you might recognise Jordan Baldwinson's name too. He came over to the Warriors and had a go in the 20s last season. From all accounts he would have done well too but the player he came across with (Tonks) was out of his depth and Jordan didn't want to stay over by himself.

 

[POPEYE]

Is there no way we can get to see the Test series in Australia

Eurosport Australia are showing the test series. No coverage of this game

Australian fans hoping to watch Kiwis v Leeds, Saturday morning can catch the live stream on Premier Sports website https://t.co/5QG6Wh1SVV

 

[roughyedspud]

Don't think that'll work??

I pay for online premier sports and wanted to watch a origin game ,on my tablet,acouple of years ago but it wouldn't let me cos i was in spain

 

[kiwileaguefan]

Not with no halves they won't...leeds by 6

If Leeds get within 20 points ill be surprised....but reading how the Kiwis are treating this game it will be a close match..

Predicating a close 60 mins before Kiwis run away with it...

Remember the Kiwis only beat St Helens by 10 in 2002...

Glad Sky NZ got the game...I still believe NZ gets the best TV coverage for Rugby League in the World. Its no often we miss out on games...

Apparently this game won't be region locked, so if you have a Premier account you can watch it anywhere in the world.

Jordan Lilley vs the world champs. Are you mental?

Leeds (or what is left of them) will approach this the same way Hull KR approached the cup final. Great opportunity, but won't be expected to win. After a treble win, can't say I give a rats ass, although it's great to see Moz back in the right colours

Aren't Australia the world champs?

 

[roughyedspud]
