Silverwood is just incompetent now. I don't think he used to be this bad. The Kylie disallowed try was wrong. The RTS obstruction try was incredibly wrong. On the other hand Robbie Ward's obstruction on RTS was the world's clearest yellow card and Lilley would have been sin-binned for intercepting five yards offside in a proper game. So not bent, just useless.

Some really promising displays from Lilley, and Golding, I liked the look of Mullaly, also until he got injured. Oh, and how the feck has Matty mother humpin Smith got in the England squad before McGuire?

All in all, a great cherry on top of what has been the most incredible cake of a 2015 RL season for the Leeds club.

Reckon we'll be looking at a wigan-style attacking set up. O'Loughlin at loose, Smith and Widdop in the halves. Not really McGuire's style. Not saying it's the way I'd go, mind.

McGuire, imho, is England's best half. Matty Smith isn't fit to lace his boots. If McNamara wants a half to solely be a distributer then McGuire can play the role equally as good as Smith. But McGuire can also play what's in front of him, make breaks, take on the line better etc

I've got to say, I was so impressed with Lilley. He looked so calm, composed and not fazed one bit by the occasion. I wouldn't normally want to put pressure on someone so young but I think he could handle it and I'd seriously consider starting him at 6 next season.

It seems like Widdop and Williams will be the halves. Although, if it was up to me I'd have Luke Gale at 7. With him, and Widdop in the halves we actually have 2 controlling halfbacks, with the ability to unlock a defense. Williams is good, but playing him puts a lot of pressure on Widdop to manage the side.

Yes he was using a pre rehed script which didn't reflect the game. What a boring delivery he has too. No wonder his half time team talks were not successful.

Had Morley not dropped the ball on our own line the momentum may not have swung and the scores would have been closer.

Still, infront on the hour and a great effort by all involved. Far closer game than i anticipated.

Bookies were giving Leeds 24-26 points so a great effort.

Stand out performers, mcguire, Lilley, Golding, Singleton, Briscoe, Garbutt and Moon. Pleasing signs from Mullally. I'd give Lauititi a year too if possible.

Lauititi looks like he could do a Kylie style cameo stint last year with us. Makes you wonder if we released him a bit prematurely. The guy still has it.

An outstanding evening and i thought our mix 'n' match Team put a cracking effort in.
I thought the final score flattered the Kiwis and Silverd!#k once again let his incompetence shine through but 99.9% a positive game.
I've said it all Year and i'll say it again Lilley is a more than capable 7 and there's no need to use him as 3rd choice hooker imo get him game time in the halves.
Golding also proved the doubters wrong the kid is a top quality prospect.
Singos hit on Moa was top notch and overall a great way to send out our Legends.

GET OVER IT, you lost a friendly.

Golding was class tonight, great display for the kid

Overall all the lads did really well for me and that Haka at the end was something else

Agree with all that.
The negative was Silverwood, who is a complete douche.

The positives were everything else.
A great performance from our youngsters and the Kiwis showed some of their class too.
I thought Handley, Keinhorst and Walters all showed they can be very useful for us.
Ward looked decent with the ball but a bit lightweight in defence, admittedly against some very solid Kiwis.
But the real praise has to go to Golding and Lilley. I thought they were both excellent. Golding looked safe and secure at the back (with a few cracking tackles too, obviously learning from Hardaker) and lively going forward.
Lilley I was hugely impressed with. He was organising well and putting some good passes out along with looking keen to both take the line on and run from dummy half.

Nice touch from the Kiwis to do the haka with Kylie and Ali.

Oh and I absolutely bloody loved Singletons hit. I don't care it was a penalty. I love a prop to show he has balls.
