You aren’t entirely serious surely?

Defeats are never easy to take but some are better than others and that was one of the best. Thought we were the better team for the majority of the game after Castlefords great start.
Agree we looked better when Walker came on but I also thought Golding did a decent job at hooker. Wonder if it was always the intention to give him a stint there.
A lot to like for both teams, but as we know it's a long season.
Think we have to persevere with Watkins as our goalkicker. He is not in the same league as Sinny or Gale atm but is the best we have got imo.

Sinfield was one of the greatest of all time kickers who wins you several games a season from his boot alone not to mention his conversion rate in pressure cooker situations. We were never going to replace that but i think Watkins is the best we have, don't see why we keep giving Myler a go, he is not even average.

I was pretty serious. All those would be in our first choice 17.

You are right about Golding who tightened our middle defence up and was effective in the hooker role on one of those rare occasions when Parcell was having an off night.

Great decision by Brian Mac to bring Parcell off. it turned the game. I've said for a long time he's a poser and when you break his games down he devalues the team. I can't believe you don't have a better kicker than Callum. Sort it or it will cost you more close games.

You do realise the number of 1st team players Leeds had missing tonight don't you??

McDermott wasn't happy with the ref, particularly with the 2 penalties against Watkins for a shoulder charge, and Briscoe for a tackle in the air. Apparently, neither were penalties based on what was agreed between the coaches and the refs in pre-season.

Again the ref was inconsistent Milner got away with a shoulder charge.

Not too disappointed least we showed some heart. My only disappointment was Delaney didn’t leather Gale. Can’t stand him.

Thought mcshane has come on loads since his leeds days

Haven't watched it back but on the night I thought Kendall was poor and gave us little. There looked to be a couple of Premier League style flops to buy penalties as well - don't want to see that creeping in.

I'd happily let you have this lot back if we had Garbutt, Cuthbertson, Ward and Sutcliffe available.
