Should add that we won despite getting rolled up the middle again. With the forwards we have that style of defence is understandable, but it most likely won't work against Sts or in all games. We need to be able to hold our ground.

It's weird isn't it?.... It felt everytime we went nowhere in most yardage sets but still had that scoreline.... Going to have to watch it again (sober) to really get a feel for how we did it!

In his presser Smith said Johnson was due to play 9 off the bench but was ill so wasn’t pushed, so I wouldn’t worry too much.

That’s alright then. Dwyer was pretty dynamic

I can only assume that they came up with the bizarre decision to award a try because Farrell was offside and Marshall wasn't square at marker although he wasn't offside. No marker to be materially disadvantaged?

Strange decision they need to clarify as it would be chaos as a precedent in future weeks.

You don't really have square markers defending your own line.

It won't work against Saints, but before the game we didn't think it would work against Wigan. Especially with Field and French on the back of metres. But commitment to the tactics and working their socks off came off. Like Smith always says (or alludes to) in his press conferences - just take each game as it comes. Wasn't a surprise to see us give up yards with the lack of size in our forwards, but Smith managed it perfectly

Dwyer wont go short of offers he put himself in the shop window lastnight .

Good for him. Dwyer could be very effective in the right team and he's won us a few games.

I know you dont rate Leeming but i cant agree with that.

Our lateral defence was incredible last night. our outside backs were outstanding ! best i've seen since our glory days.

Great call. The shift play to Field normally creates a try or a break most times but there were no gaps last night. The desire to defend was incredible.

You guys seemed to have turned a corner under Smith. Good game plan, Myler kept it simple at half back.

Looking forward to seeing Newman in the World Cup.

Leeds will finish 6th!

Think we'll continue to have some ups and downs this year with the injury/suspension situation being what it is. One thing is for sure though - Smith is the real deal! Really great Rugby to watch, and that's all that matters to me.
