Leeds have been in free fall in the 2016 Super League season - last years treble-winners find themselves 10th on the table with just three wins from 12 games. The Rhinos have had numerous injuries this season with full-back Zak Hardaker plus second rowers Carl Ablett and Brett Delaney the latest to join that list. The Rhinos also lost their training base to flooding when the river Aire burst its banks on Boxing Day, however Hardaker says that Leeds have simply not been consistent enough to challenge for the top of the table. Brad Singleton, Zak Hardaker and Jimmy Keinhorst reflect on Leeds opening couple of months to the season and look ahead to their clash with Huddersfield You could go down the route of injuries and training facilities, but I am not about that, Hardaker told Sky Sports.It is all about consistency on the pitch. We have played some great rugby and we have played some absolutely appalling rugby. That sums us up where we are.The points we scored at St Helens were terrific but to let 30 odd points in was not so good. If we can attack like we did against Saints but then defend like we did against Hull then we will slowly start to climb up the table. Highlights from the match between St Helens and Leeds in the Super League Huddersfield have not been the force they were last year either - having won only two of their 12 games. Leeds and Huddersfield will play against each other twice in a row after being drawn against each other in the Challenge Cup, and Hardaker says the main focus for Leeds is to get the win on Friday.Leeds v Huddersfield have always been great games - in previous years we have always been battling it out at the top of the table but this game we are fighting at the bottom of the table. It is going to be an interesting game - Huddersfield are desperate to get off the bottom and we are desperate not to fall to the bottom.You can play as well as you like but if you dont get the two points at the end of the game then it does not really matter. On Friday the main aim there is to get the two points, then we can start thinking of the Challenge Cup.Huddersfield have lost prop Craig Huby with a torn pectoral muscle so Eorl Crabtree is recalled and coach Paul Anderson has called up teenage centre Jake Wardle, younger brother of Joe, for the first time.

PETERSBURG, Fla. Teemu Selanne Jersey . About seven hours before facing Washington in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference second round series, team officials said the oft-injured Bynum would miss the rest of the playoffs and would not even be with the team for the rest of the post-season. Keith Tkachuk Jersey .com) - The Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings are ready to put all the talk and hype surrounding their meeting at Dodger Stadium behind them. WASHINGTON -- Even with the teams "X-factor" suspended, the Washington Wizards had a No. 42 sitting next to the bench. The 57-year-old with greying hair couldnt box out or grab a rebound, but owner Ted Leonsis waved his red towel and egged on a cheering crowd that chanted "Free Nene!" The Wizards did just fine without the suspended Brazilian forward. They scored the first 14 points and beat the Chicago Bulls 98-89 on Sunday to take a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference series. "I thought it was pretty hilarious that Ted had Nenes jersey on," Wizards guard Bradley Beal said. "It kind of threw me off for a minute, but then I looked and seen it was Ted." Nene or not, the Wizards did what theyve done all series: Take a quick lead and force the Bulls to use up energy trying to catch up. It was 15-8 in Game 3, 29-12 in Game 2, 19-13 in Game 1. Washington, seeking to win a playoff series for only the third time since the 1970s, can finish off the Bulls on the road in Game 5 on Tuesday night. "We keep seeing this same kind of start for the last couple of games, and its frustrating," said Taj Gibson, who came off the bench to lead the Bulls with a career-high 32 points. "It seems like at times we get overhyped with just thinking were going to be OK, were just that good. But in this league its not about how talented you are, its about how hard you work and how much effort you put when you start the game off, and I dont think we did that." Nene was suspended for the game after grabbing Jimmy Butlers head in the fourth quarter of the Wizards Game 3 loss. Wall called Nene the "X-factor" this week, and for good reason: Since the March 2012 trade that brought Nene to D.C., Washington is 65-63 when he plays and 21-41 when he doesnt. That said, the club did hold its own by winning 12 of 21 when Nene went down with a knee injury late in the regular season, an absence coach Randy Wittman said might have been a "blessing in disguise" that helped prepare them for Sunday. "I saw our guys bond together," Wittman said. "Like, Thats OK, all right. Big fellows not going to be here, but thats OK. And we were in tune right froom the start.dddddddddddd" Trevor Ariza, getting some of the early looks that might have gone to Nene, scored a career playoff-high 30 points, making 6 of 10 3-pointers. Beal had 18 points, and John Wall added 15 points and 10 assists for the Wizards, who forced 16 turnovers and committed only six. "I think were a smart enough group to understand that when one of your pieces goes down, you have to find ways and will to win," Ariza said. "Tonight was my night to take on the scoring load." Gibson went 13 for 16 from the field for Chicago, but his teammates combined to go 22 for 62. He made more field goals in the first half (8) than the rest of the Bulls combined (7). Mike Dunleavy, who scored 35 points in Game 3, scored only six. Dunleavy jammed his left thumb attempting to take a charge in the fourth quarter. The thumb was swollen and was X-rayed after the game, but he said he didnt think it was broken. "It probably doesnt really matter," he said. "Its my left hand and its not going to make a difference for me." Chicagos Kirk Hinrich committed four turnovers, and NBA Defensive Player of the Year Joakim Noah had a quiet 10 points and 15 rebounds against the Nene-less frontcourt. Washington stormed to a 14-0 lead, with Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau calling a timeout after each Wizards "touchdown." "Very disappointing to get in a hole like that," Thibodeau said. "I put that on me, and Ive got to get it right. ... Its got to change or our season will be over." Trevor Booker started in Nenes spot and had nine rebounds and three blocks. Beal called Booker "a huge X-factor" -- apparently the Wizards are cornering the market on that particular commodity. "Just because they didnt have Nene," Gibson said, "they just came out and played even harder." Notes: Arizas six 3-pointers tied a Wizards playoff record. ... Wittman, who played during the Detroit Pistons "Bad Boys" era, was asked to compare todays game to those rough-and-tumble days. "Not even close," Wittman said. "Its like sixth-grade flag football compared to NFL tackle football."
