Good post but I think this thread should end - The subject heading is ridiculous.
I shall support Chase and suggest as he was captain for the day he tried far too much.I think the Leeds forum calls it right.I think we shall see a better performance on Sunday.
While Chase seems to have overshadowed both Smith and Fages he is difficult to read and the obstructions are beyond a joke - it was Fages who got across the line for the try to be disallowed;so at least one player has the ability to support.
Theo has also played replacement hooker and started in the halves and ended up at full back.
All this while a more mature and experienced man,who was head coach,has seemingly gone incommunicado and not been seen at the club since he was asked to change position.
The slow distribution may be because Howarth was looking for a teammate willing to accept the pass and who was not exhausted from the work they got through.Pointless passing a ball to someone stood still.He had the same problem in 2012.
If Brian Noble expected to see the team gel by round 11 or 12 rlSourcerl then we need to be patient.

I don't think Harris has inherited the best of squads and has a lot of work to undertake.I wish him the best of luck.
Uncertainty behind the scenes caused a problem for Mick Potter and West Tigers last year - as well as the dropping of Benji Marshall - seems all is well now on the field for him and his players,and they're doing well.

SL report
penalty count was 11-4 didn't help ,and to me watching from the seats in the North Stand, the 32-4 scoreline gives an unfair reflection of the effort , especially the 1st 40 mins .
4of Leeds 6 tries were long range efforts from broken play where our cover from an attacking kick was lacking , suicidal against a team like Leeds with BJB. Moon , Hardaker, McGuire & Burrow in tow.
THe encouraging aspect was Harris bringing back players ' from the cold ',and trying players in new positions to see what they can contribute ,
Tommy Lee's stats playing at 13, Mat Ashurst's Tackle Count & Chase's stats are worthy of note .

I agree. 32-4 really didn't reflect the game at all. We had one try disallowed for an apparent crossing, and were held up over the line three times. The difference was in broken play, which seems to have been the problem all season. If there is to be any criticism of Brian Noble, then, for me, it's that he's assembled a squad with lots of size but no real pace, and that's why we get caught out that way. Fortunately, some of those slower players will be on their way at the end of the season.

It may also explain why Rangi sometimes seems to be 'selfish': there's no-one up with him when he makes a break. I thought he played well, as did Tommy Lee, Matty Ashurst and Stuart Howarth. Logan Tomkins too.
