Good point, really enjoyable game to watch as a rhinos fan. As above I thought the team were very good and a number of individuals were also very good.
On Mellor I was super impressed. In com they mentioned he missed a lot of tackles last week. However, this week he looked right on it, quick, powerful and a menace all game. It makes the people who said he was rubbish, average or shouldn’t be playing look silly. This is a in essence a new, growing and developing team. Players like Mellor have come in, trying to settle, understand and improve. We as fans need to support that, not just when we win but also when we don’t. We aren’t the finished article, we aren’t going to play well every week but if the culture has and is improving as it appears then over time we will get back where we want to be.

I think our defence especially down the middle made them look bad, to go with 3 props to start with Prior at loose was a very shrewd move, also the desire to tackle second phase play really threw Wire off their game plan.

It’s easy to get carried away after such a good performance, I still think we’ll have quite a few Hull and Salford first half performances throughout this season, but the difference is I don’t think we’ll throw in the towel this year and that’s down to team spirit, look at when Myler made that mistake early on you could see that his team mates wanted to make sure we defended that next set. I also like what Hurrell (so glad weve got a character like him in the squad) about headingley being their Homeland and they have to protect it, that os a fantastic attitude to have.

We will pick up some injuries like any squad, but we do have some decent players waiting in the wings and I think we are putting decent structures in place that they can come in and fit in with how we want to play, Im hoping to see Mclellend get a few games to see how he goes alongside lui or gale

There's a number of potential reasons.

He was a good player playing for another team.

He is a bit of a cocky one which is great when he is in your team but annoying when he is in someone else's.

The main one for me when he was rumoured to be signing was his recent injuries.

The first two go away now he plays for Leeds and he is answering the third on the pitch.

Is this fickle? Sure.

Very glad we have him now though.

Well done Leeds, you outplayed us in every aspect of the game. In the long run you may have done us a favour as you should have hastened the departure of Price.

Really happy with that, the commitment and defence are night and day better than over the last couple of years. With some big players missing, plenty of cap left and some top quality youth both in the side and coming through...Things are looking very good going forward.

Have to say, Price is clearly under pressure but I don’t like the overly aggressive style of Brooks (or Carney) in questioning on Sky. You can ask good questions without being so blunt. I’m not sure if Clarke hasn’t run his course too actually. Off topic.

Wire have too much talent in the team to get into real trouble this year (bar injuries). Thought Chris Hill was immense last night in a beaten side.

The sides haven’t really settled down yet.

Hopefully the Myler critics from last season will realise any poor performances was down to the rest of the team performing badly and he not being used as he should have been.
Even the best players need quality around them,I have watched Widdop in the NRL and he has looked a world beater at times,last night on that performance he would not be in our reserves.Same applies to Dwyer as to Myler who was excellent last night and has performed much better this season so far.

Add Cameron Smith's hands to what we have in the halves and it's like an extra pivot

Very good performance tonight with a mixture of us stopping Wire playing and Wire seemingly no longer playing for the coach.
Their team on paper should have beaten us last night but feel Agar out coached Price last night.
Newman Hurrell and Gale best for the backs along with Myler.
All the forwards played very well especially Dwyer.
Leeming is going to have to take aback seat unless we have an injury.
For me Luke Briscoe is a better winger than Tom and should keep his place.
Walker is now getting on a par with Golding
Listening to Agar after the game was he eluding to playing L. Sutcliffe at FB next week?

You first sweet cheeks

Myler is playing better because he has got Gale to organise the side, something that he has shown he is incapable of doing. That said he has done a great job in his new role of interchange hooker and then fullback last night. He is in the 17 on merit.

Couldn't agree more.It's a team game and, as we start to play more like a team, it brings out a players true talent.

How that coach can keep his job after that i will never know , credit to Leeds for a great defensive perfomance and at last we have dummy runners and not just dummies . Looks like Gales influence on the training field is paying off similar to when Sinny and Peacock were doing the coaching
Great performances across the park but especially from Cuthbo , Newman and Gayle .

please excuse the spelling
