Hopefully this is Tony Smith's last game at the Headingley Carnegie. Because if it is - it'll mean were in the Grand Final. The season has already come to a close and a win tonight would mean we have two shots at making it to Old Trafford in October. On the other hand, a loss would probably mean we will have to play Wigan. Who we haven't beaten once this season in neither the CC or SL.

Hopefully, this is Tony Smith's last game at the Headingley Carnegie. Because if it is - it'll mean were in the Grand Final. The season has already come to a close and a win tonight would mean we have two shots at making it to Old Trafford in October. On the other hand, a loss would probably mean we will have to play Wigan. Who we haven't beaten once this season in neither the CC or SL.

So winning or even drawing tonight would mean we play Saints at Knowsley Road in the first round of the play-offs. Whoever looses that will then play the Bulls (or the winner of all the other games) to make it to Old Trafford.

Ryan Bailey and Jamie Thackray are both dropped from the squad and have been replaced by Hall and Tansey.

Also centre Keith Senior will become the first player to appear in 300 rounds of Superleague this evening when he faces the opposition.

Leeds: Webb, Donald, Toopi, Senior, Smith, McGuire, Burrow, Leuluai, Diskin, Peacock, Jones-Buchanan, Ellis, Sinfield, Lauitiiti, Kirke, Ablett, Tansey, Hall.

Wakefield: Demetriou, Atkins, Rooney, Jeffries, Watene, Obst , Sculthorpe, MacGillivray, D. March, Bibey, Henderson, Blaymire, Fox, Golden, Moore, George, White, Gleeson.

Referee: Steve Ganson - If I'm correct this is Steve's first visit back to Headingley after he awarded Tansey's controversial trial in Cardiff.

Video Referee: This game is not being televised on Sky Sports.

Exposed Terrace Watch: Despite showers in morning across Leeds, by K.O all rain should have cleared to leave cloudy skys. Temperatures will be about 15 degrees.

Another must win game at Headingley, but it will probably all come down to who wants it more - something the Rhinos failed to show last week against Hull FC.

After the game we're expecting a speech from Tony Smith and hopefully a good send off by the fans for him along with a player parade of the field so a good chance to get a few piccys.

We hope to see you there and lets hope for a win!
