| Hull looked decent and played the conditions, they still seem to lack direction on the line and think kelly wouldve made a far better start there then connor.
Leeds looked awful, typical agar type performance

That's the spirit . They piped us there last season and worthy Favs for this game. As always we travel in hope rather than confidence. Quite enjoy the build up of derby week and with the hype building over the FC pack would be even more enjoyable win if we somehow get it. Concerned by our halves and missing 3 big forwards so yes could be a long night? A committed performance and no injuries will do for me.A win would be a bonus.

Yes it's hard to gauge performances first few rounds. Saints look slick again and I thought Warry would have probably won if Hill didn't see red? Hull certainly are physically the biggest side in SL and Radfords one plan is a good one if you can't stop his pack.Have these new players eradicated the teams tendency to ship 50 plus points when opposition get on top of the much vaunted FC pack? We will see.Looking on paper you would think so? I can see why fans tipping GF etc .

Delighted as I am that Rovers got off to winning start, and very happy to grab all the positives we can, Wakefield were missing Fifita and Arona - plus Green who may well make their 17 when fit anyway, and surely would have with those two others missing. Despite that they still had pretty good go forward, just without much cutting edge.
Big step up to where Hull looked to be today. I hope Rovers give a good account of themselves again, but there’s a gulf in the level of aspiration for 2020.

Valid points and yes our aim has to be mathematically safe asap to build properly for season after rather than going into last game unsure which league we will be in as of late. My point is Leeds went into that game with only 1 real quality prop and an undersized bench.against the biggest pack in SL. Think they play Saints and Warry after us? That will tell us a bit more just how good their pack is.

Plus King and Ashurst from our first choice pack
5 out of your starting pack is a HUGE amount of go forward to be missing. Granted this is offset by Navarrete coming in, albeit he'd had just 2 training sessions.
Mind you, completing a set proved well beyond us for most of that game so, hopefully we will improve.
Hull looked pretty good today but, we're 1 game into a new season so, even for Toronto and Leeds, there is plenty to improve on.

Hull were good but, provisionally and probably temporarily, Leeds have been added to my relegation possibility watch list. Now, they were up against a very, very decent Hull team today but their pack did look underpowered, I agree, and we know only too well the pain that can bring!

I am certainly not getting ahead of myself, Hull played well yesterday, hopefully a great atmosphere on Friday at the KC, a cracking game and a big collection for Mosoe.

| Game went pretty much how I thought it would. I'm in a fantasy rugby league group with a ton of Rhinos supporters and I was amazed at how many of them predicted a Leeds win yesterday. I know it's easy to be biased towards your club but I do wonder if that was a wake up call for a lot of Rhinos supporters. They are nowhere near challenging for silverware this season, it looked like men against boys at times yesterday.
Having said that, I don't expect them to be sweating it out at the foot of the table either. 5th spot looks like it might be up for grabs and I'd put Leeds in that group of clubs that could get it if they can keep their key players fit and in form and get a bit of a roll on.
Agar would definitely worry me if I were a Leeds fan though.

Quite, but it's much better to watch entertaining rugby in the championship.
