| Quote: Jrrhino "We were far from perfect tonight but we have to remember teams have only trained for 3 weeks after having 4-5 months off, first 60 mins were absolutely dreadful shades of 2018 and early 2019, looked clueless in attack to many errors from the likes of Hurrell, L.Briscoe and Myler our pack was poor Seumanufagai and Oldezki were going forward and didn't get much game time, Donaldson still filling in as a prop isn't working for us and we need another big strong middle forward to improve our pack, Huddersfield deserved the win after 60-65 mins and was the better team but unfortunately for them Rugby league is an 80 minute game and some how we got into gear and created our own momentum and scored some good tries in last 15 mins playing good quick attacking rugby and Gale with great nerves to slot that Drop goal in Golden point as well. Agar and Sinfield need to be given credit to how they have turned this side around and given them belief in their selves 12-18 months ago if we had been 26-6 down with 15 mins left we would have conceded more tries but the team believe in each other and the team spirit is all there and the comeback reminded me of when we had Sinfield, Peacock, Mcguire, Burrow and Hall producing some magic to win us games. Hicks was poor throughout and honestly don't think he understood the six again rule but it'll take time i suppose for a lot of officials and players to get their heads around it. I thought Mellor put a great stint in for us and was our best player in the game putting in a JJB/ Ablett workman type performance in. Gale could be our best buy for some time he seems to be well respected in the team and proved he can come up with big plays when we need him too. Glad we got the win and glad that Super League is back!!!'"
Agree, Mellor our best for me and Hicks awful. Great signs that we can put in such a pathetic performance for 65mins, be on the wrong end of the decisions for 65mins on top of our rubbish performance and still get the win, great character shown.

| Hicks loves the 6 more rule doesn't he? I'd love to see how many he awarded compared to the ref in the earlier TV game.

| Yes Leeds were dogger for 65, yes Hicks has a silly new beard (IMHO) but as Wells said, the team now have the belief that when the odds of recovery are stacked against them they can still come up with the result. Bodes well that the core of the grafters are young lads we'll have for a while.
Not enjoyed a game as much in ages. Like an idiot I never lost faith and set myself up for a ribbing. Luckily Leeds sorted me out.

To be fair the discipline in the 2nd game around the ruck was attrocious compared to the Saints game.

| Unreal comeback I’m gob smacked. We lack power upfront without a doubt but we don’t lack team spirit. Credit to the players and staff

| I’ve watched that again and my word did we get some penalties against us. Many not warranted but we must improve our discipline. A lot of it came on back of losing collision. Ash H very unlucky on the interception. He was borderline. Thought Hicks was far too keen to blow the whistle all game

| Stick Fafita in there and maybe one more and we'll be a tough team to beat. Good comeback and belief after a poor start and importantly good spirit.

Shocked he awarded the Mellor try without sending it upstairs, maybe an evener for being told in his ear Handley was actually onside

| Couple of areas for me.
Need some added physicality and dynamic carrying in the pack, front and back row. Whether that’s someone incoming at prop, and utilise Walters/Muizz in the back row, who knows.
Lui looked off the pace, he was a virtual passenger. He generally just caught the ball and shipped straight on, didn’t really offer much change of attack. Hurrell, and to an extent Newman made a few errors, but did have moments key to the comeback.

| Awful first hour , discipline thriughout was shocking as were our basic skills & play calls.
We definately need some more mobility & power in the pack for me Holroyd comes in for Donaldson.
Lui was woeful hopefully Mclellend gets a shot soon.
Wrt Hicks ive no real issues with how he penalised us "Handley aside" , its more of whst he didnt ping them for his consistency was diabolical imo.
That last 15 minutes we showed what we're capable of & its a huge positive in terms of attitude & fitness L.Briscoes try was top Class but overall i dint i think he's good enough in his all round game to be an elite Winger.
Hurrell is so frustrating a genuine powerhouse but also hands like cows t!t$.
For me Mellor was my MOM ,Cam Smith was good as was Rhys Msrtin.
Hopefully they got a good old fashioned rollicking we'll have to improve big time for he next 2 games.

| I think Agar is aware we need some more punch in the pack. It’ll be interesting to see if we can manage to make that happen. Saints will destroy us if we play like that against them. Our confidence should be v high though

| My take on the game yesterday.
The knock to Myler early doors and his subsequent HIA made us lose shape and we dealt with it badly, took half an hour to recover and by then we had lost all momentum and we were a bit devoid of ideas on how to turn it around. Fortunately half time came when it did.
I expected an improvement in the 2nd half and was dissapointed when it didn't happen. Lui was poor and offered nothing, forwards lacked the grunt that was needed and Dwyer from dummy half was woefull passing to the floor or over head. Very difficult to get any fluidity with that poor service.
Then the turnaround came, Leeming was introduced. He made all the difference from dummy half and the belief came back as we managed to get on a roll. Cuthburtson was given decent service and able to hit the ball at pace, Smith showed why he is an exciting prospect and the flow seemed to improve all round.
Not sure what happend to Hudds, maybe they thought it was in the bag and turned off mentaly. One of the finest come backs I've seen but to put it all into perspective, effectively it was the first game of the season and look what happened last time. Give us time to shake off the dust. I dont think we are a top 3 side however I think anything after that may be acheivable for us this season.

| Thought the Huddersfield pack played well in that first half and Gaskell controlled the game until someone maybe Mellor gave him a dig in the second half and he went missing.Luke Briscoe is still the better winger of the 2 Briscoes and took that try well.
Ava struggled in this new format and will need to get up to speed for next week.
Not sure why Leeming didn`t start with Dwyer coming on in the second half but that`s my own personal view.
Gale and Mellor the stand outs for me and I thought Golding did well in the first half for them until he tired in the second half.
I have to say I`m no fan of Myler but thought he did pretty well considering the knock he took in the first half and apart from one error coped with the high ball.
Let`s hope he handles it next Sunday against Saints who will test him for sure.
Hicks was very poor and I thought their first try came from a 3 man steel.
He also penalised Myler for pushing the man playing the ball when he ignored exactly the same incident on Gale not long before that.
The 6 again was inconsistent which is pretty much the same in the NRL.
