On the plus side myler has been an excellent signing. Initially I wasn’t that impressed with his signing. Fortunately I have been proved wrong. He is playing the best rugby of his career. Also this present team show a high degree of resilience.

I’ve said it before, but a Myler / McGuire HB combo would have been very good. Both play what’s in front of them and take it to the line. Shame we didn’t sign him a year earlier instead of going for the cheap option and moving Moon.

Completely agree mate I just hope we get him a better suited partner at 6.

Good result for us with Cas losing at Hull, Cas may struggle for a while without Gale.Our game with them at Magic is looking like a key one now, must win it.

Write the Rhinos off yet again at your peril
SL sides are currently 5h1te compared to previous seasons when all of the big boys were all littered with top class players across the board

IMO there are no sides to be feared throughout the comp and any side that even scrapes into the top 4 play offs has as much chance of winning the GF as a side winning the comp by a landslide margin

We just need to pick some wins up to even out the league table going into the play off split to give us a realistic chance

"Myler/McGuire H/B combo"
I doubt it.... That's chalk n chalk.

True that. Not taking anything away from wire, they were decent enough last night, but that team isn't a patch on the one they had half a dozen years ago.

I dunno. It's not far off....unlike 2010-12 this team isn't aged barr a couple...and the team that is least exposed...so much improvement still to come....with Saints they are flat out and totally exposed. There's improvement still in the Pies too as they seem to be wining games to the second 40.

If everyone is fit Delanney doesn't play and Galloway isn't there and isnt going to replaced, Ferres has had 3 years to get fit and it hasn't happened and as I said if he is fit Delanney doesn't play. Injured players are pretty much match fit these days when they come back. So as I said Garbutt is the only missing player - that squad has too many old players: Delanny, Ferres, Ablett, Cuthbertson, JJB and way too many average players: Mullally, Walters, Ormondroyd - it lacks quality.

Forgot about Ormanroyd what's happened to him?

I’m sorry, what?

Like chalk n chalk.

We have played the majority of matches lacking at least two of our starting props and in some games without our first four choices at the start of the season. You cannot just dismiss this as not having a major effect. Playing without so many big men puts a huge amount on their replacements and in particular our regular 3 back rowers with Delaney and JJB sometimes starting at prop and with Ablett have had to take on the opposition big guys head on in both defence and attack.

JJB, Delaney and to a lesser extent Ablett have been outstanding so far this season despite their age and that they may now being in need of a rest is no surprise and little to do with their age. Ward since overcoming his injury has stepped up in defence but he too will soon need a break despite his young age!

Delaney has had an unfortunate run of injury as has young Ward, which is perhaps more to do with his all-in style of play.

I agree with you about Ferris who has shown none of his previous form for Leeds so far.

Since Sinfield retired I have been advocating the need for a class game manager at 6. Myler has been a very good signing but we still need a 6 especially now it seems Moon will be returning to Oz next season.

We also need a replacement for Galloway and a quick back rower with a football brain like Livett of Warrington.

We won the GF without Galloway & have coped without Delaney on numerous occasions so i dont see either missing as "major factors".
Wrt to Jjb Abbo & Delaney needing a rest their age & "over-use" have every bit to do with their lethergy which is why i pointed out our regular lack of rotation.
