I am being sarcastic. It is crazy that people want to dump McDermott because he can't bring through young players, and also argue that we should go out and sign Luke Gale, a player McDermott brought through.

Yeah we'll forget he went with Lilley in a WCC and didn't cram someone into the halves then because of tonight. Also looking at the team selection I see Golding, Keinhorst, Sutcliffe, Singleton, Ward, Jordan-Roberts, Smith, Handley and Hallas.

I see Sky splashed out on the trophy....or got one of their employees to steal his nan's flower vase.

I'm a big fan of Moon but he is definitely not a half back as the games we've played with him there as shown. It's a shame that Sanderson didn't get a go as by all accounts he deserves it but the oldest player on the bench is Handley so we can't exactly use today's squad as a criticism on McDermott's youth policy.

Are there any senior players he has left out? He is forced to plays these guys through injury. Also Singleton Keinhorst Ward and Sutcliffe are established players.
Lilly didn't make his debut in the WCC did he? He had already played a few games in preseason (forced through Sutcliffes injury) and it would have been downright stupid not to pick him
Also Sanderson is an organising half and so would pair with Sutcliffe much better than moon

Its not necessarily the age of players that is the problem, it is that it seems that unless we are desperate Mac rarely ever give an U19s player a chance. Compare us to Wire who have given plenty of young players debuts (unforced through injury) and are better for it

Nevermind

Well what a refreshing half that is. Forced into team changes, under performers out, new positions and youngsters added. Best enthusiasm and pace we have shown in a long time.

Well will it dawn on the numpty, that is favourites are not the be all and end all. No nodding off for me tonight don't think. Look forward to second half. Loads of space in seats tonight.

You've just played against a Leigh team who have played one of their worst and disjointed 40 minute display's this season.

can only beat whats in front of you

Why the starting 13 are all usual regulars barring Golding.

If you're old enough you're good enough.....just as long as you aren't asked to catch a kick off I suppose and offer the opposition a chance to get back in it. Meanwhile that guy who'd never make a SL centre has come up with two good finishes.

....................

Strange to see Watkins kicking, guessing Sutcliffe carrying a knock? Was quite a good moment when he finally got one over though.

Correct............................And so it continues.

wow leigh are bad tonight, play this dumb next year and a few hidings will be on the cards.

reverting to type. the refs having a mare too

meanwhile how good does golding look? quality. for me a better full back prospect than Sutcliffe.
the leigh full back meanwhile looks as if he's eaten lee smith

Looks like we have a new contender for the scum of Super League for next year.

If Leigh got a point for every high tackle they've committed they would be running away with this.

any side with higham and burns would be contenders

stuck some coin on Leigh tonight to keep it under 12..typically Leeds play like its a GF and Leigh play like absolute poop.....F@#k this season

Quite right Biff, But fair play to Leeds,you can see you want it a lot more than us. There will be a few more new faces at Leigh next year. We are playing like - we are promoted now it doesn't matter. Ah well never mind.

Probably. Ignore me, I'm just bitter cos i done my cash

Lee Smith has been eating too many of his mothers Yorkshire puddings by the look of him!

Has he retrained as a prop yeah?

Made in Leeds, ruined in Union
