Not sure what todays result has to do with anything. The only result that does really is Leeds taking a hiding last week and how they react

Greenwood on the bench, along with Joe Shorrocks - surprised at that.

Hicks is literally clueless. How was that a tackle in the air? Both grabbed the ball at the same time.

Yet another f**k up, embarrassing

Goes to the screen to check the colour of the grass normally as well.

Massive f*** up from the touch judge too. The lads got bright red boots on.

Never takes his eyes off it

We look 2nd best at min in everything

That was a great try.

Commentary team couldn't sound less enthused.

O'Connor - "Sometimes you just have to ride your luck" - STFU you moron.

Quite happy with that half, 2nd run out and playing quite a few of the young lads. Hope Byrne is a prop here for a very long time. I just see Skerrett whenever i see him without the grubbiness.

Our pack still worries me

Aren't Aussie clubs sniffing around him already?

And then Manfredi gets touched in the air at the other end and nothing. The foot in touch is just embarrassing from the officials. Everyone can see he went close enough that you’d check it with the VR.

As for how we’ve played, it’s the same again. Total effort, individual skill but they look unorganised and as if they don’t know what the plan is. Hastings needs to be given a licence to roam more and not just be stuck on that left hand side.

It should realistically be a min of 16 - 0 to us at HT, which is a different ball game entirely.

Hicks is clueless!!!!

Hanley continuing to excel in the FB position according to commentators. Obviously he's not been at fault for three tries in the last two weeks.

Is it a crime to say I miss Stevo and Eddie?

The captain's challenge is desperately needed.

We'd have had a field day with it today.

Discipline again

Worryingly how many easy meters have leeds made down the field

Thanks f*ck for that lol

Leeds really are a shadow of what they were a couple of years ago.

We're not great, but I don't think there's anyone in that Leeds team I'd want.

Terrible from Hicks, just terrible.

A slight improvement from us. The discipline was a bit better and not quite as many errors. It feels like it’s guts, effort and individual magic that pulls us through. We need to work on our organisation and the halves need to take more control. Some really good performances from Faz and Havard in particular for me. It’s probably as worrying as it is impressive that Havard already looks like our best prop.

Good win but we’re just lacking that consistency. We seem to start and end well but go off the boil 20th - 60th minute. Hicks for me had a shocker. The Briscoe try that never should have been and the Gale sin binning were ridiculous decisions IMO.

I suppose I’m looking at us as if we’re full strength. When I consider who we’ve got sat in the stands I can understand us going off the boil a bit. Improvements to be made but it’s a decent win all things considered.

Some real positives today. I've bagged Isa a lot over the last few weeks, but he was solid today & showed great hands for the Manfredi try. Also thought that Greenwood showed up well. He looked a real handful to bring down and brought something different to the side.

Also thought Bibby played well and again ran it in hard and was a real handful. Seeing that he's our back up centre option - I'm happy with how he's progressing.

I thought Bullock carried the ball well for the time he was on, we need another 15mins a game out of him at that level.

I don't think, on first viewing, that Hicks was *that* bad. The Manfredi tackle-in-the air is always going to be judgement call which could go either way, like loose carries. For the ridiculous Whinos try, he was relying on a call from the touchie. If the touchie does nothing, he is never going to disallow it. Really bad official error. Mind you, I don't think French was onside for that last try. In fact, I'd say, the NRL Bunker would never have given that in a million years. On the Gale card, it did strike me that yapping to the referee like he does all game long, every game, this one not least, is not going to get you on the ref's side when he's weighing up whether to get the card out of his pocket.

But, at the end of the day, we beat Leeds!



And were comfortably the better side. But 'better than Leeds' may not be saying that much.
