I thought the first half was a really high quality game. Exactly what RL is about. Tense, big hits, aggressive. Thought our pack played well above their weight and took it to wire, and had lots of the momentum in that middle period. Thought O’Connor was unreal when he came on. His engine, aggression and physicality were ridiculous.

We all know this team is two props short of a really decent side, and losing our two starters to injury massively compounds that issue. But all in all, we’ve got fight under Arthur that we didn’t have before. I can take a loss like that way more than when we had no bottle and no idea what the team were trying to do. Score line flattered wire a bit with that first half score, but overall think we were in that game for much of it.

Appreciate the creativity of Sky Sports trying to spice things up, but let's be honest—hearing minor celebs who clearly have no clue about the sport isn't quite hitting the mark. I like the concept, but how about we aim for some bigger names who actually know what they're talking about next time? Some examples could be: Sir Lindsay Hoyle, Adam Hills, Stuart Pearce, Roy Keane, Johnny Vegas or Brownlee Brothers.

Were they all there at Elland Road, I didnt see the cameras on them once

And this is where the powers that be fall down and fail, get these people invited, get them in attendance, the cost of a couple of freebie tickets and access to the vip room and food could well get you the shot of 'celebs' in the crowd that are much needed.

Shows how bad things are, if that’s what’s needed to promote this once great sport……!

It's all about social media though, get them (the celebs), to the games, get them ting, treble xxx'ing, clock ticking or whatever and it reaches people who might not neccessarily give the game a second look. You got to raise the profile of the game somehow, relying on Sky/BBC to do it is a non-starter, you just have to look at the "secondary" matches on Sky, no commentary or punditry during half time, just general stadium sounds, how half d/doing it on the cheap is that?.
