I thought Powell wasn’t supposed to be fit til next week?

Shame for Leyland, but there must be something that Burgess wants by putting Ratchford in there. Maybe just a steady head for the first couple of games.

Tai missing is no big deal. Right winger might see a pass. Surprised at Leyland omission- maybe Ratch is the future…..

What did Leyland do wrong???

That ball was in the field of play.

Ah has he finally succumbed to the hereditary curse?

Is it me of has Ben Currie put some bulk on?

Starting to allow to many offloads

Criminal letting the ball bounce.

Well we had the warnings earlier letting the ball bounce. Then we failed to number up correctly leading to no option for king to shoot out of the line (and miss). We were our own worst enemy then.

Has Gleeson not been working the attack in pre-season? Or are we just saving the attack for dry pitches? Credit to Hudds defence, but we don’t have any flow whatsoever.

Holroyd has been everywhere. He has worked very hard.
