Over 50.5 match points

Both these sides are really struggling with their edge defence so perfect weather should mean plenty of tries.

Leeds are losing, on average, areund 30 points a game. This is an amazing stat for a side we expect to see going for another grand final. The odd thing is this is during the 1st third of the season when the pitches are hard and weather poor.  If they cant defend in cold conditions what chance do they have of putting in any sort of challenge when its hot and the opposition find it easier to pass and move ?

Still, the Rhinos do have a super back line. One or two players are not on great form but you simply cannot write them off in an attacking sense. There has been signs of them hitting form with ball in hand against sides like Salford and Hull. So there is no reason why they wont give a defence like Bulls plenty of problems.

Bulls also have a lot of problems defending. Last weekend was a return to the McNamara days as they simply folded. The effort was simply not there and all the Reds had to do was work the ball to Bradfords left edge and walk through. It was embarrassing.

I do think though that in Kearney in Herbert there is a nice partnership forming in attack. Add some real forward power and Bulls have enough quality to really test Leeds tonight.

Im sure we get a good game  with plenty of action at either end. Both teams can score em but cant stop them going in at the other end.
