a really big improvement was the fact we were patient and built pressure. we didn't try to score on every play. there were signs we are getting better as the play offs loom,although i still feel not replacing scruton and ellis could really coast us in the end

Is Wessie meant as an insult? I would think it was a high compliment coming from you lot.

Firstly, I've been a big doubter of Donald (on the right) this season, but he was superb last night, best performance of the year for him. I call each game as I see it, and last night was a belter from SD.
Agree with the points about Hall, he's only young and still learning, he will dip in and out of form, but you can't knock him over the course of the season. Maybe he's carrying a little knock that's making him tentative, his workrate's dropped off a little in the last couple of weeks, could just be tiredness.

I'm afraid after Kylie went off, our pack got bullied all over the park, until we got a roll on in the last 20 minutes. This is pretty worrying. We are two big forwards short IMO, it showed against Wigan last week and until Wire tired it was on the cards again.

Thought Ratu was impressive when he came on, again looked much more comfortable at left centre. Would like to see more of him.
McGuire seems to be spending alot of time not involved in the game at the moment, which is a shame as when he attacks the line either running or passing he looks very dangerous. Superb finish for his try, good work to set up the Donald first try and a great break up the middle to put Webb away. Apart from that he rarely featured.

Finally, Kevin Sinfield. Was there ever any doubt?!

McGuire looked to be organising a lot more yesterday, all the way through he was talking and trying to direct things a bit more than we have seen him do before. The frustrating part of his game for me ATM is his short kicking game, one week it's absoloutely dire then the following week it's top quality.

Any news on Kylie's injury?

Leeds were poor for long periods, the wire should have beaten us, but what Leeds have got is that we do not know when we are beaten. Hope this lasts.

One the game - Leeds visibly upped the tempo in the last 20 minutes and from then on there was only two possible winners Leeds or the clock.

The biggest play of the game for me was Donald's saving of the Briers kick from the 20 - capped a MOM performance for me. His scoring from the McGuire kick was sensational he deserves much credit.

If you look at the Leeds team tonight McClennan picked the 17 fit players only Watkins was left out - that is the concern for me the lack of alternatives - Senior was dire tonight as was JJB as was Burgess but they have to get selected because we have no other fit players!!!!

We have a pretty easy run in I would like to see Manning and Jones Buchanan given a go just to create some options in case of injury.

On a positive note Mike Ratu - I never thought he would make a SL player but he has really grasped the bull by the horns - deserves more game time based on his previous two performances.

To be a champion you have to believe in your own invinsiblity - the Rhinos have shown in a tight game they will take some beating.

We have this magic machine that can record the pictures from our television on to shiny little disks and then we can watch the ‘recorded’ pictures back later.

Don’t worry, I’m sure these magic recording machines will reach the backwaters of Halifax eventually.

We have Betamax my little fruit!!

Did Burgess stud Mathers on purpose?

I Hope So, He's A Right Irritating Sh1zer Isn't He!...

I haven't watched the sky+ yet but i did notice Ali cuffing him after he'd knocked on!
