Along with Whatmough, I would suggest Matai is the most likely player Leeds can get under the skin of to try and win some cheap penalties.

A little extra attention the first time either of them takes the ball into contact may be worthwhile.

Be careful what you wish for.

The asinine Bailey tried winding SBW up when Leeds were winning in a canter. All it served to achieve was for SBW to up his game, smash Marcus Bai, and even the second string Canterbury players then decided it was a wake up call to get on a roll posting 4 tries in next to no time.

Peacock tried giving it the same against Manly and got belted and sin-binned for his troubles. Manly scored a try from the resulting penalty and never looked back.

Good attacking rugby won the game for us to night, I was dissapointed by Many whomostly offered only cheap, shots, spoiling tactics and tipping TMFMISL on his head. There is a differnce between a war of attrition in yhe pack and just being dirty.

Tonight was a victory for how the game should be played

I think we gave as good as we got tbh as we usually do. Love those tight, aggressive games. My favourite WCC so far, although playing it at HQ was so much better than Elland Road, the atmosphere had that bit more bite to it. Great to see the old place full to the rafters again as well.
