Clarke would be a bloody fabulous acquisition ....

For a change I will agree with all your points on this one Gotcha


I rate Delaney a bit more than you do but he looked unfit last night, Clarkson made some good hit's in defence last night and is playing a lot better when he stays in the middle of the field.

Achurch is making a lot of meters and his defence is solid, If he carries on this form I hope he gets a lot more minutes from now on (swapping Kirke for Achurch would be an upgrade imo).

Briscoe was poor, not unlike Hall was a few weeks ago but my thoughts are just the same, he's a class player who had a poor game....that's all.

On Delaney his looking unfit just seems to be how we've seen him over last year or so! He tackled everything in front of him and looked to cart it up. A very Delaney performance.

I'm a big Delaney fan and I didn't mean out of condition fit I just think he spent a lot of time on all fours and was slow getting back into the line, not sure if he's carrying an injury?

He's best on all fours

Delany down, busted, weathered but standing back up looking for me, just seems standard fare of late.

Just what was needed, given the tricky handling conditions. With the attacking threat our back line poses it would have been easy for our halves to try to force matters when it wasn't needed. A lot of teams would have fallen into that trap. I was very pleased to see the game run down in this way as it demonstrated better control than perhaps scoring a late try or two against a tiring opposition, having the game fizzle out in a welter of errors by both side or, worst of all, gifting Cas a reinvigorating score.

Good allround performance from Leeds, to me Sutcliffe, Sinfield and Peacock really stood out. Really enjoy Sinfield when he's in at 9 and the kick off the ground was brilliant. Peacock immense as per usual, and Sutcliffe just keeps getting better and better each week. Bring on Wigan again!

Someone should have fed that memo to Lynch

Been saying this for the past couple of years - one of the best hookers in SL but I think he's found his place at Cas and it would take quite a bit to tempt him away - the kind of dosh that GH isn't prepared to splash.

Can anyone explain why Cas ended up with a PTB on the spot where McGuire kicked it on half way just after half time while Eddie was banging on about Cas changing their starting 13? Did it go out on the full?

It hit Singleton? on the back of the head = offside

On offsides, early on, when McGuire got done for the double movement.....

Shouldn't that have been penalty to Leeds rather than a drop out for the knock on? Dixon knocked on (play on), McGuire collected up, but tackled by an offside Tansey?

Most unfair comments regarding Delaney. He was our top tackler with 39 (no misses) top marker tackler with 9 and third best metres made and average gain in the forwards. His work around the crucial ruck area seems to go unnoticed by some.

Similarly some unfair comments on BJB. Yes he did drop (backwards and regain) a high kick in difficult conditions - but he read the game well and put himself into good positions in defence and attack throughout the game and scores two tries - unlike Briscoe who was totally unaware for Dixon's try and missed two tackles and made 2 handling errors. If Hall is fit for the Wigan game I would pick BJB ahead of Briscoe for this one.

In what was perhaps our toughest match so far this season we did the business superbly led by Sinfield. JP and Kylie are proving what a good decision it was to give them contract extensions and the coach has got the lesser players to raise their game too.

With the halfway point in sight we are deservedly sitting at the top of the table as the best team in the competition. Of course this could easily change with injuries or a drop in form but for now lets us enjoy the moment and look at the positives.
