Leeds had gone away from their composure in the opening 20, that’s not being a miserable bugger it’s just how it was. Credit their response since the red, best contribution Singletons made in a long time.

Agree totally! There should be some poor Championship teams getting the benefit of his ability next week. Awful performance!

Thought Luke Briscoe went well

We'd have lost that earlier this year. Instead we scored 32 unanswered points. Heading in the right direction far as I'm concerned.

I thought that one was better than Huddersfield myself. Finally can see some evidence of the side playing cohesively as a team.

Easy to underestimate what Lui has been doing; he just ties the side together and puts good kick options in. Also pretty tough 1:1 in D as well.

Handley has had a fair bit of stick on here at times this year but he's really stood up.

We wobbled a bit with such a light bench I thought - but when they tired we really had them. Nice to see Walker coming through into the line a bit more too.

Agreed. When hurrell went off I thought we may crack, and again when singleton went off. But to play over half the game with 12 men and win so convincingly was a credit to the team.

Martin was getting all the race reviews, but Lui provides some good shape and variation to our attack

Singleton should lose his place next week even if he isn't banned.

I'd like to see Oledski brought back in because we lack punch at the moment.

Massive credit needs to go to how the club has managed the second half of this season IMO. Extremely difficult circumstances, limited options and under crushing pressure.

Most of the players who contributed to problems in the first half of the season will be gone for 2020 and I am genuinely excited by the talent coming through.

second half much better. lui was outstanding as were Newman and handley

Yes thought Newman was quality and is learning from his mistakes

Newman is going to be fantastic when he matures. Get him another closed season under his belt, you don't feel like we need to sign another centre for 2020 which is testament to the lad.

Him, Walker and Handley have plenty of improvement still in them.

Hurrell is great but injury prone so having Broadbent as back up is perfect.

Did that McLelland to HKR move get confirmed in the end? Maybe it's done but requires both sides to remain in SL first?

I thought Myler was very good tonight, and got through a ton of graft in defence.

Martin excellent, and Lui is such a clever 6.

Is that us just about safe?

As solid display as you’d expect. Anyone who thinks we were poor tonight needs to give there head a shake. The spirit in the team alone shone through in spades tonight. Massive 2 points

Also whoever said Ward was limping last week he looked ok in the warm up! Which is great to see

I honestly don't think we can afford to feel safe until we're mathematically in the clear.

However we are definitely in form compared to our rivals.

Props to your side tonight, the microscope well and truly on this fixture after last weeks’ shambles in Perpignan and you did well not to rise to the nigglefest. There was still plenty of it, you’d think Bird and Edwards would’ve learned!

You showed how to overcome that grubbiness by playing around it and not rising to it. Chris Hill et al, take note!

FWIW I remarked to my old man how much Leeds have come on, credit to everyone involved. We missed a trick not grabbing Lui/Martin had it been possible... now we’re stuck with Matty Smith! As others have said, what a prospect you have in Newman too.

All the best for the rest of the season (13th Sept aside

)!

Cheers, lets hope for both clubs the game at Headingley is a dead rubber, well selfishly let’s hope for us it is



FWIW the worst thing you did to Hill was give him the captaincy its made him a worse player which is a shame

You wouldn’t find many of us who disagree there! Need a calm head like Daz Clark. Hopefully Widdop next year. Anyway, I digress.
All the best.

Pleased with that tonight. Team is still miles off but hopefully has turned a corner now.

Lui and Rhyse Martin have added to the squad and we look to be heading to safety now at long last.

I think there is still room for improvement in the team, but there is clearly a real team spirit now. Defensively we look a different team to the one of the last two years. 1try conceded in 2 matches is a testament to that.

Not safe yet, bit we don't look like a team who'll go down.

If results go our way, we'll be 2 wins clear of most teams, and 3 clear of London. And 1 more win would do it

I think we are safe ,but if results go our way this weekend it should make just about certain

The club management has come in for some heavy criticism over the last few months, but the decision to bring in Lunt and let Watkins’s go has proved for me the turning point of the season. Obviously this has proved highly successful.Also giving the captaincy to merrin seems to have worked pretty well. Hopefully if we can pick up some more victories, the season will end up on a relatively high note. The playing squad seem happy within themselves, which may have an influence on the appointment of the next coach. If an experienced test player like merrin goes to Sinfield and says this agar bloke is a good coach he may be awarded a permanent contract. Or assistant coach to the new incoming coach. It’s worth remembering that agar inherited this shambles. So he is blameless on that. I note that the Warrington coach who was the new messiah is no longer flavour of the month. So they may well be looking out for a new coach, especially if they get a good Wembley thumping.

Great effort from the boys despite the poor refereeing.
Myler went well and lui is the difference without him we had a blip and as soon as he came back on we picked up.
Lunt is fantastic in his early stint and in martin we have a proper player.
Good recruitment by the board credit where it's due.

That was a great level headed performance last night, we didn’t crack and we didn’t bite to Catalans dirty, Grubby tactics, apart from the Singleton incident which I loved to be fair because I can’t stand Kasianos dirty ways. Peteru should get his place back now. Martin was outstanding and with a pre season behind him will be even better, Lui added everything we needed go forward, Kick dimension, pressure, plus more. I hate to say it but with Lui, Myler is a different player, but will it continue? Lunt I personally think is going great, two very controlled and strong starts, I would like to think though if we were throwing a game away or being too erratic, we would bring him back in to steady things, he adds a lot. Ava is easily one of the best props in the league and Cuthbo is trying really hard again. Merrin as Captain is fantastic, Briscoe did really well and as expected he got some serious pasty. All the players played well apart from our two, Singleton and Ferres. Singleton for Peteru and Ferres for Ward.

As people have said, a great performance particularly given singletons brainfart.

We are far from safe though and nobody should get carried away as we have tough games ahead. The key one is to beat London. Do that and then the pressure on London will be too much and they will go down.

Really good to see us backing up last week's great result and performance. Consistency is the key from here on in.

It's great having someone who turns most of the 4 pointers into 6s too, it makes a hell of a difference.
