there was at least 2k more than last week

Think you are right about McGuire with an awful lot on his shoulders. But IMO I dont recall the lad having a worse game in a Leeds shirt. He has the excuses though, so he should be forgiven. But his tackling was woefull and he seemed to be the one taking the wrong option every time when a break was on.

Also I would be interested to see those metres Hall made, because I must have missed him there and done him an injustice. He seemed In my eyes to do very little and make very small yardage. But he had a very good game the week before.

i have to say i thought gibson played very well. not as good going forward as watkins he was far better defensively. blanch, who i thought played very well, was a threat all night but ash really kept him in check. hopefully he can stay injury free and have a big season

Fekwits report....

The lad did OK. Nice early touch with a little chip kick into the in-goal that forced the position for Ali's try.

Busy defensively and with a bit more experiece would have made more of the break.

Took a big knock in the second half but stood his ground.

Not helped being played out of position IMO.............. 6/10

I agree with all that.

Yes had just taken a real heavy knock. Cant fault the lad for heart and effort.

Reasonable performance for this time in the season though I did feel our unforced errors did keep Wakefield in the game for far too long.

Nice to see Wakefield brought a few.........must have been due to the Wigan result! They obviously enjoyed the goal kicking...........though the cheer for the 2nd was a rather amusing delayed reaction.......I guess they can't help being a bit slow

Anyone got any injury news as we seemed a little banged up?

Awww - missing us already!

he dropped the bomb but took a great catch on the half volley from a kick

Glad to see Gibson playing well again for what time he had on the pitch.
Hopefully Kallum is ok though and the injury wasnt that bad.

What has been overlooked re Allen's contribution was his one on one steal from Blaymire(?) in the opening minute that led to Ali's opening try.
I thought his tackling generally was an improvement on previous performance but he does lack pace. Pity about the break with a little more composure he should have taken the 1st tackle or looked to come inside or arguably even better have passed to Scott Donald. But what I couldn't see was if the Wakefield player had got in a position to prevent that.
If so then he should have taken the tackle. It would have been tackle one, who knows what the next sets would have led to? But we're all great with hindsight.

I thought Ganson was appauling for both teams 17 pens in 20 minutes was shocking and not justified. The game struggled to recover from his appauling 20minute display. If we had 2 players back i.e. a brough or a scully we probably would have won. I really didnt think you guys deserved to win last night your 2 out of 3 trys came from terrible errors by us. Draw was a fair result

Not overlooked entirely...
A much better all round performance than the friendly fixture and given this was within a disrupted team it is better then first appears really.

If this continues and with the Eastwood development then the lad may well have the opporunities..... a can see some real potential developing...but just not in the backs.
