Obviously he gets plenty of plaudits, but the opening try from Watkins was absolute class - reminded me of Paul Newlove.

Luke Briscoe at DH was a surprise to me, but then I don't see a great deal of the junior grades. I thought he was very good there. His first instinct is to take a step forward rather than sideways and then release the ball, which got his forwards on the front foot.

I've also been very impressed with Robbie Ward. His distribution is good, he scoots at good times and defensively while he still has a bit of inexperience about him he gets most things right.

Sinfield, T. Briscoe and BJB were the stand out poor performers for me. Not the most worrying thing though, we know how good they are. Issues of form are temporary and they'll be back.

I disagree on that. I think it is a massive worry with Sinfield. He has never gone through a phase like this in his Leeds career. It is too many games on trot now, and even before that earlier this year he wasn't having a great season. Something is wrong with him, because the levels he has been at over last month, compared to the Sinfield we have had for years are massively below par.

He is making errors, but more importantly he is making really poor decisions all the time. He is the captain, leader, and the guy who calls all the moves. Errors happen in games, and sometimes can be luck, but decision making is crucial. at 12-6 up and right in front of the Giants post in first five minutes of second half, that should have been a drop goal all the way, and IMO the match was won. Any other side would have took that option. At his age, and his experience, he should have known the right move to make there.

Agree on L. Briscoe vs R. Ward.

Have to say that Josh Walters was most impressive in attack and defence - as he was against Leigh. Looks to be a ready made replacement for JJB if he continues to develop.

Walters did well apart from the mcgillvary try, Delaney was shouting at him to go for the winger but he hesitated and left it too late.

Don't agree with that at all. We were sat above that, and no way he could have got there, the overlap was too big, and Delaney didn't do that.

That is not defending the player, more the situation, which I don't think would have been stopped at all. The weakness was in the middle and to the right side defence, for that try.

Regarding Sinfield, this point in his career is very similar to the situation Peacock was in during 2012.

After all the pressure and spotlight of being the captain during a home World Cup I think he needs a break, more mentally than physically.

I know he said he's going to keep playing for England but I think he needs to seriously take a look at what his teammate did (and has done since) and retire from international duty and have a clear off season.

I doubt he'll need to make that choice.

OK guess we will just have to disagree on that one, Delaney definitely pointed at the winger.

I hope McNamara doesn't select him for the reason I listed above. However, McNamara picked JJB in the training squad last week even though he's been out virtually all year and most of the 2nd half of 2013.....do you honestly think he won't pick Sinfield if Sinfield puts his hand up for selection.

Danny brough could have played the game in his dinner jacket.

Why do leeds always give opposition kickers the freedom of the city, yet our kickers are continually rushed by the opposition.

It's obviously a tactic as it's very pronounced how they don't rush in on the kicker.

Our distinct lack of kick pressure is so frustrating

I know, but it's obvious they are instructed not to apply pressure.

But why? It just allows the opposition to get a better kick away and therefore put us under more pressure

Brough must love playing Leeds....Leeds never seem to have a clue as to how to handle him.
