theres nothing there to fall back on, no one who looks like they will step up to the plate should a first teamer get a long term injury, certainly not on that evidence and its not long till the start of the season

There was plenty of free flowing rugby against wakey?

Seems like your having a bit of knee jerk to me mate.

Preseason means nowt! Amor looked awesome in preseason last year. Then looked lost in sl.

Also, what was the crowd?

So based on one preseason game, Leeds have nothing to fall back on. Thanks for that al give Gary a ring and get him to rip up their contracts.

Good thread this!

2134 was the crowd

Already done it.

It appears that way based on today

what was your view from inside the ground and seeing it live?

Good lad! Get that knee under control too

If i ring the ticket office. Will they cancel my season ticket? I think we're going backwards this year. This game proves it.

Imon mi way down to heathrow pal!

But I've seen enough of Lee smith(would walk in most sl teams), bjb, Watkins, Clarkson, Kirke(3 gf winners rings) burgess(gf winner) mcshane, Pitts to know that one preseason game doesn't mean dick. And there is real quality in there. Did they play crap today? Sound like they did.

As I said take Kyle Amor. He looked awesome in preseason last year and was lost when he played in sl.

Preaseason tells you little.

My view from inside the ground was that a very strong Fev team 2wks away from their season starting were very good ,gained plenty of momentum and got a deserved victory.
From a Rhinos P.O.V we were very disorganised ,lacked a natural pack leader and were made to pay for many mistakes.
Individually we very sloppy and the outside defence was non exsistent especially leaving young Kettlewell and Caody isolayed out on the right fro the Fev pack and outside backs to have a field day.
Bjb went ok as did Amor,young Nicholson looked handy when he came on as did Hood and Mcshane was our best player by a mile ,Burgess was willing imo but G1 is gonna love Kirke again this year.
Should we be worried? absolutely not it just wasn't happening for the team today and plenty for the youngsters to learn from and the 1st team squad members know they'll have to improve 100% to be considered for the opening 17 come Feb the 13th.
I will also add that i hope Silverwood gets a good pre-season in because at times he was worse than us.

Hideous.

Literally.

Just to add Hall had his thigh/hamstring heavily strapped and Coady looked like it was a shoulder injury.

err your young players looked very poor all over the field and that's a fact. I base my predictions mainly on last season, Wigan, Saints and Warrington are better teams than Leeds and it will be proven again.
