24-10 up but all kids on plus Dwyer. Anyone know who the big bald headed Herbert is in 19?
———————————-
What difference does a hair style make? Guess performance must be ok if that’s the only comment!!

Good effort by the kids , Dwyer and Mellor in 2nd half where team seemed to be
Broadbent
Turner
Edwards
Simpson
Tindall
O,Connor
Sinfield
Holroyd
Dwyer
Shaved Head, bearded mystery man
Mellor
Walters
Field
Hairstyles are important for prop
Forwards IMO, although it was a comment to help someone identify him, feels like the old days with A N Other listed
Worrying to see Holroyd not being able to walk properly at the end |

Its definitely Thompson, thought he went ok as well looks to have bulked up.
Cameron Smith again looked very good, i think hes in for a big year.
Looked a bit rusty in attack still but defensively looked ok.
Thought Tindall looked good needs to cut out the errors but hes still young.
Think Sinfield looks a bit too young physically but you can tell hes going to go ok

Not a bad run out for both teams. That Fev side'll go up I reckon. Nice to see panicky last plays phased out. Some decent performances in the pack but I'm still not sure Tet is quite there yet somehow.
Game's on rovers TV on YouTube if anyone hasn't seen it

Pleased with that performance from the lads. Hopefully the injuries to Holroyd and Smith aren’t too bad. We have another one for next week v Bradford to which I’d expect something like the second half with Prior and Fusitua being saved for Hull FC. As you say above, be surprised if we see Walker in any of the games.

Fev viewpoint: Think both coaches will be happy enough, especially McDermott with the first half and Agar with the 2nd.
McDermott will be pleased that Fev hung with Leeds for most of the 1st half even with Leeds keeping their starters on for the whole half, until the 40th minute try it was 6-12 and that was probably a reasonable reflection of the game. The underfoot conditions and the fact that it was pre-season meant that a lot of the attacking sets were of necessity pretty vanilla, we'd obviously struggle to contain you a bit more on a fast track in mid summer when your halves are bedded in.
Agar will be very pleased with how the younger/fringe players went in the second half after the wholesale changes, admittedly Fev started the 2nd half without Kopczak/Lockwood/Moors/Sene-Lefao and we do tend to struggle when our bigger forwards are all off the field at the same time, but those guys were drip-fed back on as the 2nd half went on.
The link for the game is here btw

Fev played well, they’ll have to be towards top of the Champ this season you would think.
Leeds were down one prop (Prior) and I thought a physical Champ side held us down the middle pretty well. That is what I expected but still a worry if we’re serious about winning anything.
Cats, Saints, Hull and others will be a real handful in centre field. We still lack punch.
Some encouraging signs all round though. I did think Muizz might be the kind of player we need around first grade next year - he’s physical and aggressive, with a decent work rate too.
Difficult to read too much into it given conditions etc but a good “hit out” for both sides.

I can only imagine it might have flared up again when he's done higher intensity training / game simulation. Fingers crossed for the lad anyway. |

Scott Taylor worked his way back from a lisfranc injury that caused him to miss most of last season. He's worked his way back and looked in great shape, only to get a stress fracture in his foot. He's out for another 2 3 months now.
Hope this isn't the case for Walker, and he's not out much longer for you.
On the Briscoe testimonial, I hope he get a good turnout! He's been a great servant to both clubs

Early days yet, but I like the way Sezer and Austin are popping up on both sides of the field. Will cause the opposition all sorts of problems and not something we've seen a lot of in recent years. Really hoping they can stay fit.

I like the fact that Agar seems to playing his first choice spine in these pre season games. The attacking cohesion seems to be building.

Agree. Plus, it's an indication he sees no undue risk in terms of injuries. Not sure gale would have featured quite so strongly were he still on the payroll

Yes I really liked what I saw from them so far. Sezer's just a high quality player, he could still probably hold a spot in NRL I think. Austin gives you that x-factor, bit of magic on the edges to break a defence down. Myler chimed in really nicely with them too - those three will cause lots of problems. We could do with nailing down that left centre position; one of Sutcliffe, Briscoe or Broadbent needs to make it their own this season because we're not going to get the best out of Sezer until we have the centre / second row combination working well.
To be fair I've said I'm not so convinced about Myler in D as a full back, but against Fev he took one of their big men 1:1 superbly on our line. Thought he played well again. |

Left centre is fascinating. I would say Broadbent is already the most potent attacking threat, but I think he'll have to bide his time. |

If Myler wasn't Richie Myler people would talk about him as one of the best full backs in the league.
But people seem to judge players and coaches solely on past ability/achievements. |

Yeah agree, thought Jack showed up pretty well in the two friendlies so far, but he has to get more solid in his D. He gets brushed off on the upper body way too easily sometimes and that's going to hold him back until fixed. Going forward I'd take him over our other options now.
Is there a good centre in a fit Liam Sutcliffe? Grab your popcorn on that one.
Briscoe is strong as an ox but does he have enough finesse?
Most sides attack down their left (I think we might prefer our right this season given the firepower that side). |

Maybe but Myler isn't a full-spectrum FB for me. Chiming into the line there are none better in SL, totally agree and he can be devastating in good ball.
What I'm less convinced with is him as a strike runner and a physical presence.
I think he can look good in a dominant side, but when we're under the pump he offers much less. You could say most players are like that but I dunno, jury is still out for me whether he is the Answer.
Personally I'd like more pace. size and strike from FB, but just because Myler doesn't fit the mould doesn't mean he can't be really effective. Liked the way he's already working with Sezer and Austin - I guess you don't need to be lightning quick if you can beat a man with skill like that. |

Dunno Chris do you reckon this is a case of "he would say that wouldn't he?".
He must be desperate to prove his fitness again. Hopefully he just needs gametime and rest time - even if it's healed in theory, playing RL will test it to the limit I guess.
Either that or big Marty will be having a word with his mole in a dark alley around now...

It came from Agar. He said "We’re a bit worried about Jack Walkers progress. Very slow. His foot is still a worry."
See how he goes. Hopefully he can fully recover and get back to his old form.
