It was never a question of need a rest, but deserve a rest. But you knew that anyway, but like to play the Easter knobby.

As someone who's had enougth of Burrow, I thought he was superb yesterday. I am a big fan of Ablett but though Burrow was MOM.

Burrow, Ablet, Sinfield, Webb, and Kylie for me were the standout performers, and a nice cameo from Mcshane.

Hall's finishing was great, especially his last.

Smith was far better than given credit for, not surprising, although not to the level of the ones above.

I once again though our backrow was not good enougth, and you can add the loose to that this week.

But which one? We noted Bailey, Smith, Webb and Sinfield packing down there at various points in the game.

pedant. The one on the team sheet then.

I also forgot to add above, that personally I though Kirke had a decent game.

I thought Lee Smith had a decent game. Hung around and played some nice balls.

Was a poor game.

London with their early 10 minute hounding of us needed points on the board. Didn't happen. They moved the ball quite nicely, but there was no end product. They missed a few line-breakers and off-loaders to generate a second phase.

Thought their attitude was excellent to come back and have a go early doors in second half, but the same can be said about Leeds for putting them to bed.

Nice backtrack but we all knew what you were saying.

You are right. I am sure the coaches were thinking of the lads welfare. He made 32 tackles against Bradford and 27 against Huddersfield which will have been a big step up for him. They maybe looking after Hood in the same way.

Maybe their using up Kirkes allocation of games now so when it comes to the business end of the season he will then be 'rested'

In one of the many scrums JP packed down in the hooker position with Webb in the 13 slot.
That alone tells you that we don't actually need scrums any more.

Leeds - like a lot of other clubs - change the way they pack down depending on whether it's an attacking or defending scrum and which side of the field they are on.

Often the blind side centre comes into the second row for a defending scrum, while one of the second rowers goes out into midfield to strengthen the defence. The full back tends to pack at loose when defending, with the loose forward again going into the backline.

When attacking, the hooker often packs at loose forward to ensure better distribution from the base of the scrum.

There were a few scrums, where the Broncos had the feed, that JP didn't even pack down in, he was in defending in the traditional stand off spot.

There seemed to be general disarray and confusion about who was packing down and where at many scrums for Leeds I thought.

It was either a complex and genius game plan or a right mess.

This ... and in addition the scrum-half (both for offensive and defensive scrums) tend to alternate between the half-backs in accordance with which flank the scrum is set and which side they are tasked to defend on.

It's not complicated - OK maybe it is a bit for some - but the varieties can be seen every week for those who choose to take an interest in the game.

Delaney made 54 tackles

Kirke was forward top metre maker (105m) with the exception of Burrow (110m) and had the same number of carries as Bailey who was on for longer.

Is there an echo in here.......in here.......in here........
