| Quote: Gotcha "Hard to tell wasn't it against such poor oppossition? I don't think Leeds have had an easier game all year.
That said, I thought the forwards really worked their balls off, and played really well (Bailey the pick). The two centres were absolutely excellent. And for me I hear what you say about sorry for Webby, but personally I would have given him MOM. He controlled everything in attack for us.
The only downside was the halfbacks, who were completely anonymous. This despite a dominant forward pack, and some posters on here saying half backs can only stand out with a dominant pack.'"
Whilst i agree they are'nt the best team around they weren't allowed to be anything else yesterday because our pack destroyed them.
Harsh call re-half backs i think they did what the rest of the team did in that they got stuck in and played the conditions the best they could and tbf Mcguire and Burrow both got involved in some good passing moves that lead to tries.
The weather really bogged both HB's down aswell because it nullified their running games.
It should boost confidence whilst also keeping their feet on the ground in that although they played well the opposition were'nt the best around but still a team they hadn't beat for a while.

This is true, and I accept at times we played some nice rugby. Just can't get overly excited as I did not think the oppossition were good at all. But you are correct that we did not allow them to play and controlled the game. The defence certainly looked very very good.

I don't accept that one, that it was harsh. Both players were anonymous throughout the game. You could have took both out and replaced and the team would not have been effected. That's not too much of a bad thing, because you are correct about the bogging down and no running game. But I just compare the way Webb controlled the attack and the passing he was doing in comparison, and he was million miles ahead of them for this one.

| i thought the half backs played the conditions, bringing the forwards on to the ball, and keeping it simple. I thought burrow was much better in the first half, than he was in the second, i felt our attack broke down too often in the second half when burrow got the ball. Mcguire had a solid game through out, little signs are there that hes getting more confidence week by week.
Zak Hardaker i know he was probably at fault for KR's first try as he didnt slide across in time to tackle cockayne, but his take, spin, break and pass for delaneys try was great to watch! as most wingers now a days come inside looking for work, and to take some of the work off the forwards, he looks very hard to tackle, has good footwork and is always looking to pass, i see a potenial full back or stand off in him. That said im happy for him to continue on the wing, and keep improving

| Weller Hauraki had an outstanding match on Sunday, I thought he should have been man of the match. He made some great breaks and set up multiple tries, and even showed he can kick rather well!
I know some people on here don't think he's any good, but I hope he can keep performing like he did on Sunday!

| i would to mate, id like nothing more than for weller to prove me and everyone wrong, he was much improved against hull kr but the flack hes got this season , much of it is warranted imo by his poor tackling
Bailey i called as my mom after about 65mins he was a real handful, strong going forward, good in defence, constantly winning the collision, getting on his front for quick ptb's, but a bit like weller i want to see this on a consistant basis, because hes capable of more than just winning penalties ( which he also did well against kr)
