| Also I wouldn’t write Tui off just yet, I think being dropped may give him the kick up the he needs to get fit, he is a talented player and still only 24

| Merrin was my personnel Mom up to the 80 minute mark, Hurrel was his usual rocks and diamonds but his brilliance outweighs his silly mistakes for my money and makes more yards after initial contact than anyone else in the team. Walker showed why he's 1st choice fb and Myler had his best game for the club to date. Still not convinced about Singleton, interested to see his stats and how many meters he carried especially after first contact

| Thought Merrin was fantastic. It was like watching Peacock the way he just kept going making good drive after good drive.
Walker obviously great too. Whatever shortcomings he has we have to stick with him. He’s too good to let slip away.
Myler had his best game I’ve seen in a Leeds shirt.
Lots of good performances there and it shows the desire is clearly there.
Don’t know how McShane got away without a sinbin at least. I get the ref might not have seen it fully but neither did Hicks see the Brett Ferres incident last week and the video ref clearly told him what had happened, so why not tonight. Any suspension he gets won’t help us at all.
Powell really is a pillock. He makes Shaun Wane look gracious. If Powell’s attitude remains like that then both he and Cas will remain small time.

I’ve always thought that Powell’s blame everything on everyone else attitude is why he’s not won anything as a coach! He is I think a good coach but not the messiah that people (especially on this forum) make him out to be.
I do think the group of players we have has the desire and passion to do something, were maybe just a couple of players short. I think Tui or Mclennan might get a shot next week as I think Myler may get a ban for the spear tackle!

| Much better. We still have a huge problem mentally once we get a lead, and our kicking game is terrible, but we did very well to hold on and get the win in the end. Walker was very good, as was Myler - now do it again next week.

| A good result for you, this will do your confidence good. The team need to build on it now if they can. Cas are like a few teams ATM hit and miss other than STS and Wire the league is all over the place!

| Just needed the win last night and job done.would have been a real heart breaker to lose another tight game.
As for Powell, of course the players celebrated like they did because of the reason above. We were getting into a desperate situation and needed the points badly. Hopefully we can kick on a bit now; still lots of work to do in defence especially goal line but i'm sure Furner realises that and it will get better.

I have been a Critic of Singleton, but he played very well last night, only fair he gets credit. He is getting stick that doesn’t match up. He was especially good in the collision last night, which he hasn’t been previously. Ten carries and 86 metres, our best average gain in the pack. 33 tackles and 2 misses. For a sub he worked himself in well.
Cameron Smith stats, wow. Top tackler and 127 metres carried.

| Thought all the youngsters were brilliant. Mentions also for Myler, Merrin & Hurrell. Delighted for Furner. Here's hoping it's not a false dawn and we continue to build from here.
Thought Powell was very gracious in defeat. A lot of coaches would have mentioned their injuries, blamed the ref, blamed their bad luck and given no acknowledgement to the opposition. The guy's a class act.

Even Shaun Wane used to praise the opposition when Wigan lost and it was rare he’d blame anyone but his own team.
Powell has looked daft 2 weeks in a row now.

| Really bizarre this weird praise for Myler, he was bang average again last night, his crappy negative kicks for touch like it's an achievement, well I suppose it is an achievement for him when he doesn't punt it out on the full but he wasn't a big player for you last night; walker Merrin Smith and singleton can take that mention.

| If it wasn't for Cas playing as bad as we've been playing we'd of been handsomely stuffed. Again another lead we built vanishes. Should of won by 12 tonight. Furner dodged the executioner for another week.

Oh come on stop it. Furner is going to get at minimum 2 seasons to get things going unless he decides HE wants to walk. There is much work to do but give the guy half a chance to weed out the garbage and bring in who he wants.

Completely agree DF is the last one with his job under threat imo.
I question some of his selections but lets be honest only 4 players were signed/ok'd by him.

If we're highlighting the flaws in Ferres performances its only right Singo gets the same those 2 dumb penalties he gave handed them the momentum & they scored twice off the back of it.
He grafted yes but he nearly cost us.

One penalty conceeded. And offered far more than Ferres has ever done, so an unfair comparison there. Like I said, he gets the critisism, and deservedly in the other games, so only fair we highlight the credit when due.

Rubbish, he was a massive player for us. His work rate was immense, and always trying to gee up his team mates, playing the role the captain should be. His support play also excellent. You might have won with him in your side, instead of what you have.

I doubt it. For the best part of an hour our forwards didn't do enough so any half back would have been playing off the back foot. Plus Myler is hardly known for his execution of 1 pointers (look how many close games you lost last year).
You want him to do well as he's your 7 but he's bang average.

Urgh,I hate agreeing with you!
Don't get me started on Ash Handley. Throwing the ball into the crowd and pointing down the camera when he scores. Let's win a few games first before you start celebrating like that.

| Well done Leeds, the right result I think but it should have been much easier. I think they were entitled to celebrate like they did as it is a big win for them, not just the points but the fact they won a tight game.
Cas were a shadow of the team of the last 3 seasons and there is a lot of work to do at the club. Not sure where we go from here, did not see the McShane incident but sounds like he will pick up a ban. Rest might do him good as he was poor tonight.

| I don't think it has been pointed out on the thread yet, but I'm pretty sure the three second half Cas tries all came when Merrin was having a breather on the subs bench. Just goes to show how important he is for us - early days but the effort in attack and defence was reminiscent of a certain JP.
It doesn't say much for the rest of our weak middle defence for the latter part of the second half though. Some forwards were getting brushed off far too easily when Cas were returning kicks - as the Matt Cook break illustrated. That said with JJB and Holroyd unable to come back on there must have been some tired bodies out there!
So relieved we got the win. What ever you want to say about the problems with the Cas team, they are still third in the table and were desperate to put it right after last week. Leeds were also missing a lot of players considered at the start of the season to be first choice - Ferres, Lolohea, and Ward, not to mention long term absentees like Ablett and Crosby. I know we might prefer some of these players out of the team, but it was pleasing to see those that were on the field working hard for one another to get the result. They really do seem to have come together.
