[quote="rollin thunder":s5ool5f8]Time for action all the usual pre season bull talk ends today. We have heard it all before for last 7-8 years, let’s see if it’s for real this season. . Whilst I don’t think the first game of the season defines the season. I really think this one might, we need to win and set a statement out. Wakey are better prepared than any promoted side for some time, but we still should be 2-3 scores better than them. 28-12 win[/quote:s5ool5f8] Fully agree RT. Looking forward to seeing more of what Brad's brought, beyond a pre season beasting. We've heard all about accountability before. Hopefully the boys really nail it this year.

To be fair, it is only one game (so far). Remember the wallopping Cas gave us early doors in 2017? McDermott era, not Rohan Hopefully Arthur lives up to the hype, not the myth of his namesake

Well it’s round 1 and it already feels like it’s a long old season ahead, not much to take out of that performance that is positive. Same old poor skill and discipline in attack and defence it’s a recurring cycle of S*** For me Handley can’t stay at centre he’s a winger and he showed that today with his horrendous defensive display. ECW has to come in there because I’m sure he can offer more there and Handley can take his left wing spot back. Connor was poor after showing some promising signs in pre season, Frawley continues to be a waste of a halfback and quota spot when Miller is back I’d personally have him at full back and Connor or Sinfield in halves with Croft because again we won’t miss anything by not having Frawley there. Ryan Hall was the only player for us who could come off the pitch with his head up after game, how the calibre of player in a Leeds shirt has drastically fallen around him.

If we cannot beat Salford after their 80 point drubbing today, then Arthur might as well go home after that.

Though I thought Croft tried hard. Cannon looked good We’ve issues at centre scrum half and we still look light in the pack. I’ve certainly not missed watching this team. Congrats to Wakey though, fully deserved their win.
