Everything posted on here is opinion and we all believe we are correct. I will be more than happy if Baldwinson blasts his way into the side and proves he is as good as the best. However prop is the one position where I believe youngsters should be brought in slowly for their own career interests. It could well be that BM wants to take a look at Ormanroyd too but again the same rules should apply to him too and it should not reflect badly on Baldwinson if this happens soon.

Performances in Preseason games against second grade opposition are interesting but are not a reason to drop your first choice experienced players.

Forgive me if I have misread you Gotcha but I seem to recall you shouting the odds in favour of Baldwinson and against the club before he went down under which seemed to indicate a bit of an attachment.

Garbutt not playing now, illness. The forwards look weak now

Potentially a game changer would

Is it a game changer? It's a loss, but shouldn't really effect the result.

I think with the fixtures looking at our first five before season started. Four wins would have been a big improvement on last year, where Leeds should be, better than the majority expect, and where those with eternal optimism would expect to be. Three wins would be what the majority expected, and the average team we think, but doing a job. Two wins would be more regression and inexcusable. Today will be win number one.

Ahh back to 2016 form early on..

What the hell, why the hell did Hall pass that? He's s bleeding winger supposed to be fast.

wrong decision with a poor pass.

Give Sutcliffe credit with at end of half. Used his head brilliantly.

Well I highly rate garbutt. I don't rate mullally, I don't rate Walters, ormandroyd is an unknown. So as I said, potentially a game changer, yes. However looks like it won't be.

On another note, I've liked a few kicks McGuire's put in. I still think he has a touch of class that can be useful this season. Just as long as he stays injury free.

RE Hall, bad decision- it's like he doesn't back his pace anymore!

Dreadful first 8/9 minutes. Good decision not to wait another several minutes to bring Cuthbertson who has very good. Good period after that when we scored the two tries before it settled down a bit.

Parcell good, Burrow and Sutcliffe have been good as runners. Hall and Keinhorst have run strong on that side. Holding ok at the back but would like to see him involved more in the final 20m. Briscoe was poor for that opening try and it was a carbon copy of one against him on Boxing Day. McGuire put in a couple of sensible kicks near the end of the half.

He nailed that drop goal!

I'd have burrow kicking goal though. (Unless perhaps he has thigh niggles)

burrow showed why he's a hooker and not a scrum half. much, much better.
mullally should be nowhere near a leeds shirt

Also this ref who impressed last year has been poor. Obvious obstruction for their 2nd and don't know how he missed Keinhorst's try.

And Terry O'Connor is bloody dreadful.

I agree on the ref. Also missed the extremely late tackle on Burrow, and the forward pass before Leigh's first try.

That much is clear. If McDermott decides to stick with him going forward over giving the likes of Baldwinson his game time he must have lost the plot.

The ref is being quite poor, is he new?.

I don't like having Mags, Sutty and Burrow all on the field at the same time.

Really poor management of a game this. Two poor sides.

With all the penalties Leigh gave us and the sinbinning we should be in control. Instead our inability to do anything on T5 has once again hampered us.
How did we not sign the HB we need or at least keep Lilley as an option while Mags was regaining fitness?.

Though the amount of lost ball isn't helping

Sorry ladies and gents. There it is.

How many minutes did Mullally and Ormondroyd get?

Such a poor player, yet two pieces of play from Sutcliffe is the sole reason for that win, and you have to credit it him for it.

Two poor sides. Leeds no game management at all.

Really poor. Some really bad players, playing with poor tactics. Not a good combination.

A win is a win. but it's looking pretty ominous for the rest of the year, gonna be a long one folks.
