I've really not been impressed with anything that Hauraki has done so far for Leeds but last night was by far is best performance in a Rhinos shirt and, dare I say it, was defensively sound. If he carries on playing like he did then there's a good chance he'd make an average squad player.

Think he actually broke through some tackles once too

It was the only time my brain registered that he was actually on the field.

Ben Cross played well last night.

Most of us expected him to

but then i'd expect a player with a point to prove to his former employers, to use this as major motivation.
and the fact that mcguire wanted him is a fair indication he can play.

Thought it was quite ironic that JP should come up with 2 errors & 4 penalty concessions the week after being quoted as saying " We are not playing smart enough !"

To be fair, he did lead from the front and made some good metres with ball in hand.

JP did make some errors but it was good to see some strong running. Ablett was his usual self, very strong. Bailey was great on Friday. And to be Frank I have been very unimpressed with hauraki but thought he had his best game for Leeds. Had a good night
