Can't fault their effort tonight tho

We’ll do well to hang on here, teams totally depleted and makeshift

Sounds like the young lads are doing very well.

You really can’t theyve put in a shift

Outstanding

Quiet in here?



Anyway, really proud of the boys, we seemed to tidy up our discipline a lot

Thank goodness for that. What is with prior doing short minutes? Is he really going to be able to do aother year next year? After flogging him in the first half of last season he's now wrapped in cotton wool which would be all well and good if there was sufficient cover but he's one of the main 3.

Great win that. Totally depleted and all the pressure on us. Proud of the effort and the young lads in particular. Let’s build on it

The amount of injuries we have makes you think there’s something not right with conditioning or training

Tonnes of effort. Important win. Good to see Broadbent go well. Need players (any players) back.

Any win's a good win right now. Pleased that JJB won't end his stint with zero wins. Pleased for Dwyer too; he cops a lot of flak but he did what was needed tonight. Lastly, pleased for the youngsters who really stepped up when it mattered.

Few things. Jack Sinfield looks composed for one so young, he will go well as he gets a bit older. Max Simpson is game, he really stood up against a bloke twice his size and with so much more experience.

The pack are improving but have to be twice as good as they currently are if we are to finish even mid table. We seriously lack go forward, and I think a lot of that is down to coaching and game plan as much as lack of size.

We were never going to be cohesive with so many out of position, but showed plenty of guys and effort.

It’s a win, and hopefully will bring a bit of confidence. It’ll be good to get Smithy over.

Oh and the O2 signal at Headingly is terrible…

Yes Sinfield looks like he could be a good un, our last tackle plays were much better when he had the ball, hes coping with the physical aspect better than i thought he would

Was the refereeing really as bad as I thought it was? Seemed to have no control over the game at all, and looked way out of his depth.

I thought he was fine TBH, didn’t really notice him

Sinfield looks a composed player good passing game and kicking game but he looks a yard short of pace.I thought Broadbent showed up tonight in both attack and defence.

Ita a win and with the men we have out thats all we can hope for. It was never gonna be anything other than that type of game.

The kids are doing well and it wont harm them long term but hopefully some bodies return soon so they go back to 18s to continue their development. Both Simpson and Sinfield will be very very good players for Leeds ive no doubt about either but they shouldnt be in this position. The club should have a proper reserve structure.

Nice to see Jack Broadbent having some good moments tonight. Still young, still developing and will be inconsistent at times.

Whats happening with Prior? Brought back on with 7 left. Must have a knock at minute.

Dwyer key moments tonight but we need a proper 9. Rhyse Martin is going ok and having as good a year as anyone i think.

Defensively were looking a bit better but there will be tougher games to come.

We really need some men back dont we?

We controlled the game tonight tho and it was a much needed result.

Agree with all that. Hoping Prior is playing with an injury. If not the fat lady is warming up and I think he may well retire at end of the season.

I think we ended up with a back line of Broadbent, Simpson, Gannon, Martin, Handley, Sinfield and Leeming, 3 17 year olds and 1 in his right position. Bonkers.
Hopefully Austin and maybe some others back next week. It makes the 2 suspensions even more damaging.

I'm very happy with that performance, given the circumstances; 8 first 17 players out, Sutcliffe retiring early with Briscoe following, players subsequently out of position, the pressure of a "four point game" and the young bloods of Sinfield and Simpson shouldering that weight with credit.

No, it wasn't fluent but there was a solidity and togetherness which was absent earlier in the season.

Credit to JJB for that. There are a few on here who have had a dig because of his storytelling narrative in pressers, but in the context of what he's had to work with, he's done a great job.

Great to hear Broadbent doing so well. Other kids and exotically Martin deserve spot of praise too…
Onwards and upwards!

Vital 2 points wasn't a great performance but the team showed great effort and determination to get the win so big raps for them. Broadbent looked like a player playing to earn a new deal wheater at Leeds or putting himself in shop window looked strong carrying ball and was steady when moved too full back. Sinfield & Simpson have done well to say they are 17 year old kids coming into a team out of form and depleted. I've never known a team pick up so many injuries at one time not sure how bad Sutcliffe is but Briscoe didn't look healthy at all being carried from the field. At least we've created a bit of a gap between ourselves and bottom spot hopefully we get a few bodies back and get Rohan Smith in asap and see how he gets the team going. I also can see Hardaker coming in on a contract til end of season then going from there but who knows.

Very happy with that win.

The teams decimated, an 18 yearold & two 17 yearolds starting in such an important game, getting the win... it will do wonders for them. Broadbent playing well Which is excellent to see.

Was so nervous going into this game, couldn't be happier with the win.

Exciting new coach on his way, Exciting young talent stepping up in a big game, bit of daylight from toulouse in the table...Finally some things for us all to feel good about and look forward to

I am glad to hear about broadbent, I just don't know why he was held more accountable for off performances (limited that he'd got) than other players?

Maybe Broadbent sees a new coach coming in as his opportunity to cement a place, if he plays like he did last night he will impress smith.

Martin sometimes gets a bit of stick but hes been immense in the last few weeks, he also looked better at centre than either briscoe or sutcliffe.

Dwyer deserves some credit aswell, we all know his flaws but there was a point last night when they were camped on our line and he raced out of the line and wrapped them up taking them back about 30 yards it was a real game changer that. He also took his trys very well and set donaldson up, deserved MOM
