The wayward pass Segeyaro put out on his own twenty was because he wasn't sure who he was supposed to be passing to. The nearest Leeds player was fifteen yards away and nobody was putting their hands up to take a carry, which in that part of the pitch is absolutely unacceptable.

He made some errors and his timing looked a bit off, but the threat he posed when he could get out from dummy half coupled with his distribution (the double miss to hit Watkins for the try was a terrific read) showed there's plenty to come. No coincidence the defence looked much better and able to get numbers in the tackle with a proper 9 in the middle unit.

Hull were undoubtedly hampered by in-game injuries leaving them short of interchanges in the second half and without Pritchard they miss a dynamic runner on the edges. Thought Minichiello was quiet when he was on, wonder if he was either carrying a knock going into the game or is starting to run out of gas a bit as the season goes on.

Plenty of positives for Leeds to take from that. Looking at the attitude after going behind compared to earlier in the season, I wonder whether some people are starting to revise their opinion on who the leaders in the side actually are. Maybe senior pros like Hall and Ablett for example have more of a voice than the supposed leaders within the group?

agree with most except the handley/Briscoe thing. Briscoe has been our best winger by a distance in the last year

Handley has done well but Briscoe offers us much more. I recall a few saying we couldn't count Hall as a miss because he was playing poorly before his injury but he's shown since he came back what a difference he makes and I think Briscoe will be the same.

Regarding Achurch. I think he's performed solidly the last month and he's been almost an ever present since Easter and I do wonder if we have the Cap space available if we might decide to offer him a deal for next year after all, especially if Ablett does retire.

Obviously on less money, whether he'd accept, but I don't think any club will be offering him that sort of money again anyway.

Well played last night. Best team won, although we didn't help ourselves with some poor efforts. Would be very happy if you could now win all your remaining games, especially against the pies.

Apart from the first 5 games of last season, and the CC, I'm not sure how you come to that conclusion.

I wonder if he will stay on over here at another club since he's opened a a Gym ?

Think last I heard he was undecided. On one hand he has his gym business over here, on the other hand I think his girlfriend and child still live in Australia.

Even if it's not us I can't see any SL club offering him anywhere near his rumoured current high wage so depends what he might be prepared to accept wage wise if he stays in England.

Please god no. He has overall been a disaster and in no way deserves a new deal even on less money imo.

Excellent performance last night. Seemed well up for the fight even after going behind. Garbutt my MOM but strong displays by Watkins,Moon,Hall and even though I was never a fan of Sutty at half back I think he's now found his home and will improve with confidence. Segayaro good first game, hope we can hold onto him as I feel he'd be the star of 2017 for us. With Briscoe Ferres and Ward still to return things look good with the only downside for me is the lack of a leader at half back who can control the game alongside McGuire.

Not at Hardaker levels but I think it's ok. A full pre-season knowing that's going to be his position will hopefully improve him more in that department. He already though looks more of a threat in attack from the FB position than Hardaker ever did.

That's my view on him last night (and previously) too. All HB's have games when nothing works for them but for me the ones who keep trying, keep being vocal, keep putting their hand up like Lilley does are the ones I think have a better future for them. It's what Sutcliffe lacked at HB but looks like he'll get away with as a FB.

I like the look of sutcliffe at fullback. It gives us that halfbacky type edge that we haven't had from there since Webb. Hopefully it can give the team more balance in attack going forward. Sutcliffe seems better when he can drift in to add his input, rather than having the onus on him constantly in the centre.

It does mean though, that now the need for a class signing at halfback is even greater than it was before. Lilley is still young and learning, for now he needs to be an 'off the bench and intermittent starting' player to develop well. Then with a class act alongside him Mcguire can hopefully see out his final seasons doing what he does best.

Assuming segeyaro stays ( ), sorting something out at halfback needs to be the number one priority. Backline is fine, pack is fine, hooker is hopefully sorted, halfback is the main area of deficiency now.

Just thought i'd post a link so you can re watch the match if you wish to www.rlawaydays.com/blog/45924743 ... s/10809530

I just dont see anything in Lilley at all im sorry to say. Hes so slow, his tactical kicking is in the main terrible and although he defended well on Fri im far from convinced in him defensively also.

I appreciate hes young, and i love to see kids making it thru ranks, but hes played a high number of games this year but how many tries has he created?? 2??? 1 in 1st game and 1 at Hudds in cup.

In last minute Fri he had a clear run to line 20m out and got caught.

I hope im proved wrong. I really do.
