I was reliably informed a few weeks ago that Leeds have set out to win the first 4 games and then send a few of the lads away on holiday. If they win the next game, I expect to see a very different line up for the last few. Still clear to me that we are papering over the cracks in the halves. Big problem.

i guess they were far too pre occupied by looking at her pearly white porcelain teeth to pick up on such a minor indiscretion on her part

i take it that you mean that certain players could miss the batley game at home?
they will however be available for selection to play the last 2 games against giants and leigh

More than acceptable, therefore it is officially 6 tries to 8, and, as per the Hull KR game thread, stats alone are inadmissible.

More seriously, I thought Joel Moon showed some good running, and kicked well, but Leeds (should) expect more than that from a half.

If anything, he's nailed down a place at centre.

True, but worth baring in mind that I believe that's his first start in the halves for Leeds. Whilst he has played a few games there in his NRL days it's probably worth considering that he's hardly going to be Jonathan Thurston on his first crack in that position in several years.

Not saying we should, but if we gave him a prolonged run at HB I think he would actually do well there in SL.

It looks increasingly likely, given McGuire looks to be injured again. Some good touches from moon and agree he came in and out of game,thought he was a bit better than Soward on the day.

The need for some more athletic forwards is once again glaringly obvious. The difference in our defence today and Wigan's last night is massive.

Salford will be desperate in next game and Leeds will need to up game to win. A loss would drag Leeds into the scrap for survival.

You know it is a boring game when the commentators are talking about things completely off topic

Not true, they love doing it even when it's a good game. For some reason they're under the impression that the audience are tuning in for them and their 'banter'. But they aren't the only ones TBF and its happening more and more in sports commentary nowadays. Caught a bit of the T20 cricket earlier and they love to be "characters". In fairness to David 'Bumble' Lloyd he is, the others aren't, not mentioning any names........Nasser Hussain.

Moons job was apparently to act as a foil for Mcguire and Lilly by running the ball and pulling in defenders (very much a Foran type role), I think he did this pretty well and we seem to have had more time on the ball than in previous weeks.
Next week I think it will be Moon and Lilly with burrow on the bench or Burrow at 6 with keinhorst on the bench.

We did look slow in the middle, I think we missed Singleton more than many think, he is our most mobile prop and plugs a lot of holes around the marker, Mullaly didn't fill that role nearly as well today.
Remember though Baldwinson and Oledski should get some game time next year.

Its all gone down hill since Sid Waddell died!
