00:00Well, it could go one of two ways, couldn't it? You don't really want to be playing a
00:15side who haven't won yet because they'll be highly motivated to break that duck. It's
00:21not been a happy hunting ground for Leeds in recent seasons. They've been nilled on
00:25the last two visits there. Leeds aren't going to walk in there like Conor McGregor and strut
00:30around thinking they're going to walk away with a comfortable win. They just haven't
00:35got happy memories of going to Perpignan of late. They can take heart from the way they
00:42played against Kass but they did tail off towards the end and that was a bit of a reality
00:47check to show where they're at. Obviously, they've beaten two sides in Kass and Salford.
00:53Obviously, they've got their minds elsewhere at the moment and Kass just don't look at
00:58it, especially in the pack. So, Leeds can't get carried away with that and they are coming
01:03up against a strong pack this week. Leeds should have Brodie Croft back and Matt Frawley
01:08as well. So, they are getting some troops back. They just have to do another professional
01:13job. Brad Arthur is saying to them to play Boren at this time of the year because it
01:17does work and it showed that in the first 60 minutes against Kass. They went away from
01:21that in the last 20 and it just shows what can happen. Kass ran in three tries and if
01:25Leeds play like that from the start this week, they're going to get stung. So, they need
01:28to go back to that Boren style. Fans don't like to see it but it does work at this time
01:32of year because that's what it's all about. Just grinding it down and getting the win
01:36on the board.
