Agreed Leeds competed well in the league (except V Castleford as you've noted), they may have reached the CC semi-final but effectively by taking advantage of receiving three byes. As others I think have said Leeds have only faced one acid test in the post Sinfield/Peacock era and it was a test they comprehensively failed.

Time will tell if lessons have been learned in time for Friday.

Yes I was surprised he didn't outpace Ellis too. He looked a bit lightweight in defence which is why I prefer Golding at FB. But Walker is a talent and I still see him as a 6. We are lucky to have two such good young prospects

Can you really not get why he would be silent and choked after just winning a play off semi final after all the stuff that's been said about him and his team the last 18months?

I can, yes, but considering how he has been previously about getting to finals I expected something more like the previous tone of 'getting to the final is nothing too much' to celebrate. It just felt a bit 'I have come full circle now' and that is why he was choked.

Well done for last night, pretty even game, first 20 mins cost us IMO, took too much out of us, we may some silly errors, but you played really well in that spell.

Enjoy next week, hope its as good a game as the semi's

not had chance to come on since up at 5.30m for work

congratulations on your win, obviously disappointing for us, but first 20 minutes killed us
