| Think Smiths side seemed to be targeted as they scored most of their points there

| On watkins' side, Watkins was mainly central with McGuire and Sinfield defending the flank.
They bombarded us down that side all night long with quick play the balls when they had the chance. Thought they may have looked at Webster running at Zak more with the physical size difference.
Hornes a useful unit, big strong lad. Cant see why giants let him and kirkmond go, just to bring in some more three quarters then complain of being depleted in the forwards.
As for Hull KR, if they hadn't have given stupid penalty away after stupid penalty they would have had a better chance in final quarter.
Mr Bailey won 2 penalties and gave away none, so he's on -2 for this season.

| Quote: Andy R "Contrary to what's been said on here so far I thought Hardaker made the right decision every single time to cut back inside. Rovers were numbered up defensively on each occasion and the only other option would have been to go wider and bring Hall back on the inside. An outside break was never on the cards - there right edge defence was outstanding. I was impressed he made something of a couple of the cuts inside with fine balance and footwork.
Watkins was outstanding and will be tough to put down all year, although some of the attempts were average at best. He could be an absolute beast with a sustained run in the side. Very exciting times for the future in the centre position.'"
their .....You being a teacher too
The sentiments I agree with ...both should be allowed to continue developing with continued selection. I have stated before that Hall should be switched to the right wing...he will get more passes from Watkins and the right side partnership could potentially then be the best in SL.
Left wing can be contested between BJB and Chisholm....(and Smith I guess).

WCR was joking with me in the ground about the "mess"
TBF every time he got the ball in space I just turned to Sam Buca II and nodded my head. Nothing more needed to be said. I did however get my picture taken with him (and him only) after the game and that pic is now my facebook profile

| It'll take time for both of our centres to get settled. Hardaker will need to learn to use his winger because in the end it will make him a much more dangerous player. But it will take time for Hardaker to work out his style, and for fans to get used to it - he's not going to play like Senior and smash into the line every time he gets the ball. Over time the most interesting change to Leeds' attacking game could be a deeper line, as both Watkins and Hardaker are fast with good footwork.

| Gotcha - If I get chance to see it again I will but until then I'm sticking with my original opinion which is that had Hardaker passed to Hall on any of the 4 second half occasions that he passed inside the most likely outcome would have been Hall ending up in touch.
The most pleasing aspect of Hardaker's performance was the way he fronted up defensively. I was also amazed once again by his balance on his half break in traffic. Complements Watkins perfectly who looks an absolute beast and has the speed and footwork to match this.

I wasn't complaing about Hardakers performance, just in case you got that impression. And nor am I saying that Hall would have definately scored off the two opportunities I mentioned. What I am saying is that a guy who has been our top scorer for last two years and top scorer in the league, and now regarded as the best winger in the comp, that his centre should have allowed him the opportunity to go for it.
Personally I think Hardaker had in his mind how well the Hull KR defence was sliding across throughout the game at that side, and he did not consider the opportunities that arose but more what had was happening throughout the match.

Smith was to blame for the first try, firstly with the initial tackle, and then filling in to cover the space from the play the ball. He was completely blameless for the other 3 tries.

| Barry mac was calling Watkins map maninga lookalike last night on the box. He does look quite big now, but it doesn't seem to have had an adverse effect on his speed

| Unlike Hall who IMO has lost some speed due to the bulk.

| Hall was never overly quick when he was a bit smaller either. But he's quick enough over distance to be the best winger in the world and isn't far off the top guys. It's only his lack of acceleration that makes people think he's slower than he really is.
