Yes could be a rocks or diamonds player although the weather looked pretty bad.

He should have scored near the end he just needed to dive and slide over.

I think we looked pretty strong defensively

Mentioned his ball security in his signing thread, from his games in the nrl last season the one worry i had was he lost the ball quite a lot in contact.

Thought broadbent was good yet again and Oledzki the pick of our forwards.

Excellent last 20 minutes.
Lots of errors in first half and plenty of rustiness, but some glimpses of good stuff.
Broadbent MoM for me. Looks a class act. Should be given a chance at FB.
Totally burned Magillvray for the try.
Really impressed with King as well. Some big carries and shots.
Needs to protect the ball better and needs more fitness, but he’ll go well.
Whoever said he doesn’t look big enough for the front row has got him confused with someone else! He’s a unit.
Impressed with the 10 minute cameo from Edwards and Gannon as well, but doubt they’ll get much game time tbh.

Lots of errors and some green performances. But, like has been mentioned, a makeshift side with a lot out of position so no need to panic. Fingers crossed for Handley, looked nasty. And 6pts off a near 1st choice Hudds team, ill take that.

I was just glad to see some RL on telly and specifically my team. Roll on 2 weeks!

Medial knee injury for Handley. Scan tomorrow

Hmmm. Could be a couple of months out......
Surely Broadbent will deputise....

Id definitely give Broadbent a run at centre if Newman isn't ready for the start of the year. Didn't look out of place at centre or fullback and was probably our best on park. Bodene had a very good game too. He should get a bench spot for game 1. Deserves it on todays performance.

At the end of the day it was an average trial game. Plenty of errors and penalties and two teams that on paper should have been mismatched. Leeds defensive structure looked good which was a major positive for me. They scored two tries down Hall/Tindalls wing but apart from that, didnt really create much. Even though we didn't execute very well either I liked our set up plays in their 20 as well. With our first choice halves playing and some more decisive hole runners we will break a lot of teams down with the spaces we created today. Having a centre at 6 and a ball running 6 at 7 didn't really help us do anything today though and after Handley went off we struggled to isolate the outside defender.

I am not a medical genius but i think if it is medial then it may well be alot longer than 2 months

Depends if its torn. If it's just strained could be back in a couple of weeks.

Koni and Liam Sutcliffe will be centres week 1 i wouldve thought. Jack did himself a lot of good again today tho.

Yeah, I reckon that's the way Agar will go too. At least Broadbent put himself into serious contention today though. It can only benefit Leeds moving forward.

If Handley and Gale miss out do you reckon Eastmond and Myler at HB with Broadbent to FB and L.Briscoe on the wing?

Either that or Myler to FB, Boradbent to Centre, Sutcliffe and Eastmond in the halves two Bisoces on the wings. Agar mention Ash has trained a lot at full back in pre season.

Looks like Handley out for a month or so. Medial injury to the knee. Scan tomorrow. Doesn’t sound good

Shame about Handley, looked real nasty at the time, hopefully not too serious. Thats the risk of these games unfortunately.

Look like the Briscoe brothers on the wings early season.
