Coach Quotes
Looking ahead to Friday’s fixture, Head Coach Denis Betts said: “We’ve played Leeds twice this year and both times they’ve managed to get the better of us.
“We’ve learnt some lessons over the last couple of games against them which we’ll be hoping to transfer into the game on Friday night. We’ve come out of a really tough game against York on Sunday but it’s about dusting ourselves down, not changing too much and turning up to perform.”
