How did Lilley play?

Thought Lilley had his best game for us! Leigh Beattie saying could be returning to Leeds for Easter

Some nice kicks, and he made one clean break through some tired defence. But in all honesty he's not standing out at this level. He's still a tiny bloke and his pace and acceleration aren't good enough for him to trouble sides. He tried to step his way over for a try a few times today and Sheffield dealt with the threat easily.
He tries hard though, that much is clear to see. And he's still only 20 so time is on his side.

But right now, if I was in charge of picking the side, I'd be putting Keyes in at 7 in front of him.

From a neutral, as I had to be today, that was really disappointing as a contest. Was hoping for a proper good game with the result in doubt till the end

I'm glad you didn't enjoy it then...

Scrum half today wasn't he? That's not his natural position is it?

It was a great afternoon at Odsal today. The improvement in our defence was the most pleasing aspect. We had to defend for long periods in the middle of both the first and second halves and for the most part we kept Sheffield at bay. The way we dealt with some of their big blokes like Yere and Mexico was great to see; great decision to move Ryan over to play centre opposite Yere. I was dreading Yere running at our right edge but Ryan kept him quiet all game. Some of his defensive reads are excellent.

Like the look of James Davies. Big guy, made good metres and solid in defence. I imagine that he will improve the more he plays with this team. He could be a good (cheap) find. Seems like he is keen to try and get his RL career going so will be highly motivated and is only 23.

Having Thomas and Pryce back in the side made a massive difference today. They seem to play off each other so well. Campbell again was excellent. If we can keep Thomas and him fit I don't see Macani back in the side as with Caro and Ryan too we have excellent options for our wing places.

Murray, Roche and Moore excellent again and I don't really need to say anything about how good Bentley was.

I agree with the point about Keyes playing better than Lilley. He just seems quicker and more elusive and his kicking is just as good. Maybe Lilley is a slightly better defender?

Decent enough performance against a dangerous Sheffield side. Some well worked plays and we did muscle up more in defence before caving under the repeat sets. We looked like we wanted to throw it anyway in the second half but Sheffield spurned the chances and we came back strongly.

Similar story to the Batley and Dewsbury games for me but it was a big important win as I think we will really struggle vs Halifax and then Fev. We need to throw it all at Fax and try to get to zero points.

Pryce showed his experience again today and Ethan sized up against his bigger opposition very well. The incident with Ethan was strange, the Sheffield player (not sure who it was) didn't like the tackle so hit a prone Ethan. How the officials missed it I don't know.

Well I have to say we were a little Jekyll and Hyde today.

There were some very good points, we attacked well and were pretty solid in defence. Except for the bits we weren't solid for namely the Sheffield tries and the reticence to commit under the highball. The middle of the second half we began to wobble and I was expecting us to let the commanding lead that had been built up, slip away. Luckily, Sheffield wanted to win even less than we wanted to throw away our lead and we finished strongly.

Now comes the tough 2 months as we play 3 of the current top 4 in a very short space of time. It's then a return match against Sheffield followed by London at home and I feel that they will likely have shaken off whatever malaise they are currently under by the time they visit Odsal.

Then it's time for a thrashing by the seaside as we play Hull KR in Blackpool. I'm not sure I see us getting ourselves up to 0 points before June without some additional firepower being added to the ranks in the shape of some more experienced heads in the forwards

Yes he's a loose forward but playing at scrum half last couple of games since Chisholms exit. Got MOM last week against London but never in the game today, he hasn't played well against the Bulls for a while
