AGREE our 6,7, and 9 got us in to the Championship. Gale as been great but now so injury prone because of age

Melbourne to Heathrow direct 17 hours.

Beautiful day here at Headingley.

Slick start.

Leeds short kick offs stop for some strange reason.

16-0 Up

First sight of Walmsley…… see ya!!!

Excellent first half structures look good defence outstanding seen enough whatever the result now with substitutions that we look well drilled

The defensive organisation is like day and night compared to last season coupled with an excellent tackling technique.

Well I'm quite stunned how good we are. Really impressive.

I disagree.
It's like Day.....and night ....in a cave......with your eyes shut

Lad looked like he was jogging.

We have looked good, most impressive thing is how fit and strong they all look, usually in a boxing day game you expect the team to look a bit sluggish so they've obviously been putting in some serious work.

This play the ball stuff is a bit frustrating, seems to have been some very similar PTBs from Leeds that haven't been picked up but probably a sign of more inconsistent refereeing to come this season.

I’m watching it on our league app, might as well be watching on Rhinos Tv. All they have banged on about is how many Leeds players are out etc, well I’ll put a lot of money that Leeds have a lot more Cap out on that pitch than us. We’ve looked like a different animal compared to last year.

What’s the score guys?

Stupid error there.

Gives Leeds the lift and easy points. Who was it?

FFS! And we've crumbled.

Dumb play on Leeds line and they progress full length to score again.
Looking more familiar.

Ref certainly put his whistle away this half absolutely caned is for 6 agains and in orrect play of the balls not one against Leeds

I can forgive one missed forward pass but at times it was like watching the NFL.

Leeds didn't really have to work hard for any of those 2nd half points. Christmas is certainly a time for giving.

A game of 2 halfs.

I'm OK with that. They only really got a look in when we changed the team around.
Law and Croft on the wings and Franco at fullback was a bit fragile, but nows the told to give them the practise.

Thought Bowden was good and I quite like Lawford.
Griffin, Thornley, Walmsley and Franco when on the wing all looked good.
Jowitt was very good too.
Couldn't always pick out the forwards but defense in first half was excellent and ball movement was pretty slick.

I thought Griffin was poor and wouldnt be surprised if it was him that opened the floodgates with that loose pass although it looked like Ashurst.

I thought the interception pass came from Hood but I did miss the start of the second half.

Griffin first half was very solid in the SR , Griffin second half at centre is far too slow now.
