| Myler certainly has great hands and is very good at timing his play.
I guess this confirms what we know - Smith has already got our attack up to a level not seen in years, and when we don't get mullered up front we look really good. Unfortunately until we get the prop situation sorted we're likely to win and lose big depending on the opponents.

| Nice touch from Rohan to mention both Long and JJB early in the press conference. Small touches like that will mean a lot - especially to Long who lets be honest has taken an enormous amount of stick on here (me included).

| I like what I hear from Smith when he's says he wants his spine players all to work together.Good to see that all 6,7,9 and 13 all played well.

| OK, we were awful apart from Satae, but thought you were excellent, particularly in attack, very quick, started off by the best hooker in SL, he got you moving and was aided very well by Myler, Austin and Seizer.
Good move getting rid of Agar and with players coming back I fancy you to finish 5th this season.

| In another note, we are struggling for backs, do you think Jack Walker might be available on loan?

He's the best running hooker for sure but how was his defence ?

| I love that quick, short passing around the PTB, always receiving the ball at pace.

Not sure about that, but I do think if everyone is ever fit together he won't be in the 17.

Not really tested yesterday, but never noticed him being a poor defender?

| Quote: Sir Gregory ParsloeP "Agree, quite a few times they moved very late behind the play the ball. We asked loads of questions today.
Need to bear in mind Hull were busted and when young Scott at right centre went off Injured they really struggled on the right side.
They had 4 hookers on at times, 2 at HB, props in second row etc etc.
But still great to see the attacking intent again.
Walters went OK but hard to judge as in last 20 minutes we had so much ball.
Very entertaining stuff to watch today.
Myler playing deep into the line and passing so late creates a load of chances and tries.'"
Yeah Hull were all over the place and we shouldn't read too much into the scoreline, but what we can say about the side under Smith is that we look like a side capable of scoring tries. That wasn't the case earlier in the season.

| The extended highlights that are now up give a better indication of some of the attack leeds were producing. A couple of principles that stand out are the intention to draw 2 or 3 defenders around the ball carrier then move the ball on to create space. Also the attacking ploy of running in pairs with the support very close to the ball carrier, makes it very difficult for the defence to number off and account for the short ball. Also sezer looked quick on a couple of breaks and how rapid was Handley on his attempt on macintosh, he had to make up a lot of ground on him and nearly did.

| Quote: chapylad "As much as I think Hardaker is good at FB especially defensively.
I rate Myler better as an attacking option and his defence isn`t too bad either.
As long as Myler is fit he needs to play FB with Zak taking one of the other centre spots not that Zak likes playing there mind.'"
Yeh, interesting problem at FB.
Hardaker is an excellent running FB with attacking threat.
But Myler links the play so well and when he joins the line and creates the extra body his passing will always create opportunities.
Great problem to have.
Myler probably just edges it.
Feel for Jack Walker. Looks likely he'll have to move on.

| Such a bloody rollercoaster supporting this club!
I was full of apathy, missed my second away game in quite a few years, and they go and put on that performance.
I’ve only seen the highlights but some of that attacking rugby was easily the best I’ve seen since 2015.
If we can put more of those performances on this year snd hopefully get some props I think we might have a better year next year, loving how Smith has transformed our attack!

Fancy swapping him for Satae?
