i didn't hear that, but sounds like it. Leeming clearly had a bit of an ego

Think some of you are being harsh on Leeming. Senior player and close to England 9 who has been put down the pecking order by a new coach, and from his point of view had the captaincy taken off him.

I happen to agree with Rohan on this but I wouldn’t expect Leeming to stay around if he doesn’t feel wanted, which is exactly how he will have felt.

Nit having a dig, no. Just praising Jarrod.

If his performances were up to the standard needed then I'm sure he would feel wanted. I'm sure Smith has made the call on captaincy and selection based on what's best for the team and Leeming not meeting those requirements. Not forgetting Smith didn't choose Leeming as captain.

His going hasn't really made much of a ripple tbh. No more than the likes of gale and sutty and probably less than Hardaker and Dwyer. Not only the coach unconvinced it seems.

Did anyone else see the (now deleted) comment on here written at half time? Someone saying we need to ditch our whole spine!

A few have said it for a while. It won't happen in one off season though

13 looks solid, 9 we will know by the end of this season.

1 and 6 or 7 are still issues

If Austin plays to that level consistently this year id have no issues keeping him. Sezers still got a way to go if he wants a contract beyond this year.

As well as he played on Saturday, that's once in his Leeds career. He started off at Warrington like a house on fire, but that didn't last. I suspect that he's a good player who's age is catching up with him a bit. I'd be looking at replacing all three of 1, 6 and 7 if we can, but if we can't then Austin is probably the one I'd keep.

Id keep Austin, i think he’s a good player to have around as he’s apparently great with the younger players, hes also on record saying he’s happy with one year deals
