Thought he went ok, certainly better than Ormondroyd, he looked like a worse version of Mullaly imo

but today's game demonstrated the gulf in class between Superleague and Championship.
Fantastic turnout from Rhinos fans let's hope the team believe that they owe the fans with another 6 competent displays.
The 3 x 8s are going to get loads of criticism this year, Wigan's demolition of Wakey followed by today's destruction.
Will fans turn out to watch these poor competitive contests?
Featherstone's ground put Wakey and Cas to shame. Definitely the best ground in the Wakefield district. Good luck to Fev for the remainder of the competition.

Don't go falling in love with yourselves, you beat the 4th place championship team. Who scraped in at the last possible moment after a very up and down season.

Remember that you spend £1.8m on players, we spend £0.3m

You'll face tougher tests than today, although I expect you to go through the 8s unbeaten.

I'm happy with our performance, we weren't a million miles away in the middle, we just couldn't handle your awesome back line.

Most importantly, we've banked £100k or so. That's the cost of three quality players at our level.

Good luck for the rest of the season and please make sure you smash those cocksure Leythers.

Tbf Leeds are going to be an anomaly with regards to the Middle 8. It's not going to happen every year that the reigning champions with a bunch of internationals are going to find themselves in it. As for Wigan thrashing Wakey.....the same fixture could've taken place under another system and resulted in the same score line. Should we get rid of the regular season because Wakey beat them 62-0 earlier in the year?

Neither looked OK really. If Baldwinson wasn't a Leeds academy lad on loan you wouldn't have even noticed his performance, thought he might run in with a bit of oomph but was tackled and dominated easily. Ormondroyd apart from one late run helped by everyone being confused about whether he was held or not didn't do much either.

Thought Luke Briscoe did ok in the first half carrying the ball back and forced a penalty when attempting a quick PTB reminiscent of his brother. We did score a lot down that side but it can't be blamed on him and whilst Watkins left him clutching at thin air for his 4th try, Watkins would've done that to most guys.

McDermott interview. Delaney says he thinks he's dislocated his knee.

You must have got carried away to some degree otherwise you wouldn't be cautioning yourself to not get carried away.

Oh he gets some unlucky knocks that lad

That's not the way it works.

For instance if a Featherstone fan says they didn't win today it doesn't mean they actually did win.

Not getting carried away..... BUT.....

That's exactly how it works.

Please accept my condolences should your home town RL club arrive at it's Super League defined destination.

Agree with ThePrinter - based on recent performances we're punching above the middle 8's and so we should, based on our squad.

Agree the Pies were a class above the other night, but Saints win shows the 8's are not foregone conclusion.

Love Delaney but he's made of shortbread, crumbs everywhere.

Not sure we can be too harsh on Baldwinson or Ormondroyd today - always hard to shine when your side is outclassed, as we've seen a number of times this year...

Tremendous...

I think the Fev game means little really as all SL teams will beat Fev London and Batley. Its the games between the other 5 teams that will decide the outcome and who plays in the million pound game so i wouldnt get too carried away if im honest.

We are a different team to 2 months ago but we cant afford to slip up next week or against Salford in a few weeks.

Wrt Baldwinson you could put any young Rhinos forward of recent years at the same stage of their career & it would have been the same outcome.
In fact barring Morley i doubt any would have had any impact whatsoever JB had a dig in a part time team.
