| Interesting that Miller told Sky for his player of the match interview something along the lines that Leeds had the right people on the pitch and the right people in charge of the club. Looks like the players are rallying around Smith and want the fans to stop being a bunch of whingers like many on this forum.
I'm not getting carried away at all after beating London: from the run of games we've had this season IMO Smith has done enough to justify a bit more patience from the fans. It hasn't been great, it hasn't been as bad as some are making out, and I'm genuinely interested to see if we see a reaction or improvement against the better teams. Either way I think its time for the fans to just back the team a bit more...

| That game was made for Miller.
Good performance particularly with the injuries before and during the game.
Sinfield did enough to keep his spot. Kept things moving nicely even after Croft went off.
Thought Goudemand had a good game. Always liked a medium-sized middle. Bring back Bodene.

| Good grief, how bad are London?
A few nice breaks and some decent tries but lacked a fair bit. Hopefully lumbs injury isn't bad. He's seemed decent on that wing (albeit against poor opposition). Need a big improvement in forwards next week if we stand a chan

| Got another 2 points won the game in first 40 without being too flattering but can only beat what's infront of you and all that.
Sinfield offered more in 1 game than Frawley has in 10 so he should be first choice 7 for the foreseeable imo, however depending on what Croft has done tonight we might be seeing Sinfield & Frawley as our half back pairing.
Feel for Riley Lumb doing his hamstring in first minute hopefully its not too serious for him.
Real tests coming up in next few weeks with away trips to catalans & saints the challange cup weekend gives us a week to recover and get some much needed troops back.

| OK performance overall I'd say.
Liked JOC starting and Ackers coming on after, that seemed to work well.
Oledski unsung hero today, he played nice and direct, lots of work in D too, am guessing his stats will look good.
Croft is integral to anything positive we might do this year - hope he isn't injured and is fit for the next 2 games, we need him.
Bit worried about our size against Cats next week. Also on the wings Handley still isn't fit I'll guarantee - ribs are notoriously difficult injuries to heal from.

Not quite sure what Smith has done to justify more patience from the fans ?

Yeah agree with that Jim. Fingers crossed for Croft. That would be seismic if he’s out

| I could have picked a team from the old Leeds and district league to beat London. But that’s not our fault that London are sub standard. Enjoyed the match ,Miller had an excellent game ,he looks to be a real find. Smith started to pass the ball to good effect instead of sticking up his jumper. Good all round performance from all the squad. Nice to see Sinfield senior up in the stand, his son showed some nice touches. Sadly the injury jinx strikes again, last few seasons we have had some dreadful luck. Unless things dramatically change we will have a threadbare squad for next week’s game.

I am a loyal fan, have been well before super league and the golden generation. I Pay my money, if I see garbage on the field and from the coaching staff I will certainly call it out. Most games this season have been poor, coupled with a coach that’s out of his depth. Whatever the outcome of this season I will be supporting Leeds next season and hopefully the season after that. I wouldn’t place much emphasis on Millers comments, it’s the tried and tested response from all professional sports men/women when the manager is under pressure. Usually because the manager/coach is picking the team and the players livelihood depends on that. If another coach comes in you can bet Miller would soon be singing his praises.

| So, we beat The Brassmoulders “A” team. I’ve never seen a team where all the players are the same body shape and equally as slow. The props could have swapped with the wingers and the scrum half could have played second row. It’s hard to glean anything against such poor opposition, but overall it’s a lesson that the physically dominant team will always beat weaker, slower opponents. It was good to see Smith has obviously realised that it’s pointless being an honest team in a dishonest sport, and has finally introduced the forward pass into our armoury. A useful tool, but best employed when players hit the line at speed beyond the passer. I don’t think we will have the intensity to use it against the better teams unfortunately.

| Really poor London team, but that's not our fault.
It was an OK performance, but under no pressure for the most part.
Miller needed that game, he's been poor lately. Hopefully he can do the same against better opposition.
Lisone was good again. He's exactly what you need after 20-25 mins. A few direct runs and it saps the opposition.
Someone suggested he should start. Not for me. He's ideal coming off the bench. We need another one like him.
Croft showed some class, but again hope he can do it against the better teams.
O'Connor, Smith and McDonnell all good as well.
And Jack looks ready. Should keep his place. Hopefully we can work something out with Frawley at the end of the season as it hasn't worked out.
I think we can probably write off the next 2 games and get some bodies back for the very winnable 4 games after that.

| A decent performance against a poor team.
Handley shows what we are missing with his pace and bringing the ball out of defence.
Miller still playing 7 a side rugby but was one of our top performers along with several others.
Personally I thought Ackers was not far off MoM.
Sinfield must keep his place and I wouldn`t be surprised to see Frawley alongside him next week if Croft is ruled out.
Decent crowd considering how bad we have been playing.

Agree with all that, slight reservation regarding Sinfield next week , it’s going to be a bit physical. Would prefer Frawley, hopefully Croft will be fit, maybe have Sinfield on the bench see how the game unfolds. Loved the Handley try from the Miller break, Handley came like a rocket from way back. He really has blossomed into top notch winger.

Thought Jack went well and he should keep his place. In fairness I suspect Frawley would have gone a lot better against last nights opposition. We'll find out a lot more about his progression next week. Just good to go to HQ and see a comfortable win. 13k in attendance is testament to the ongoing loyalty of the core support.
