| Quote: Steve51 "Looking back at it, it wasn't as bad as you think. Defensively we were sound for the most part. Two tries from uncontested kicks was dissapointing and Ryan Hall showed some class off the ball before walking through Russell & Ratchford. So from that point of view it was ok.
In attack it was a different matter .So many concerns. Brown was just as bad as last year. No plan, the same kick with no purpose, not once on the ground or on the line to test them.
Roberts was more of a concern. That performance was nothing to do with match fitness or new team. Continual blind alleys looking for runners who he'd never spoken to and had no idea what he was doing. His decision making was atrocious. Running at gaps that weren't there and ignoring spaces. BMM our big signing wasn't used properly. Two drives in the first half and a penalty.
Cooper, Goodwin & Philbin (to a degree) stand up and take the applause.
Oh and we never conceded a point when Westwood was on. For all the failings his advancing years bring you could see him organise our defence on our line.'"
Eh? Am I mistaken or didn’t Leeds score two tries when Westwood came on for Goodwin and Hughes went to centre? |

BMM reminds me a bit of Ali Lauitiiti (although I dont think he is in the same class tbf), in that he is a strike weapon who needs to be facilitated with a couple of workhorse backrowers. |

Just my opinions unless it's a FACT, in which case it's a fact.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_74166.jpeg |

Wow Roberts FIRST game, had no warm ups and already being slagged off! The attack undoubtedly needs work but the priority was shoring up the defence and that certainly seems to be coming along.
I think the team will improve significantly, give them time.

Agree
Roberts didn't look fit - But looks a class act to Me
Moon ghosted past him a couple of time
A fully fit Roberts would have gone on his own & not passed to Atkins for the flying pig impression
The gap was there to be taken |

You have him then. |

Roberts and BMM probably (and rather foolishly) assumed that instead of chancing it and going alone that by sending it out wide they could garuntee 4 points. They will learn in time not to put trust in Atkins and Russell. Hiku figured out not to trust Russell by his 3rd game. |

The breaking news from the Chris Hill household is that his wife's gone into labour, which is why he went off early in the second half.'"
Interesting from Price that he says they knew before the game she was having some contractions. Absolutely the right decision for Hill to be at the birth but a good idea to pick him in the circumstances? |

I think so - we still got 50 mins of him. Also given we already have two props out, I think we would have been too lightweight upfront without him. |

I suppose with the already missing it's an understandable reason but he could've easily been subbed off after only 5 minutes. |

Yes only the first game but I still have not seen what Kevin Brown offers this team.He was gash last year + no better last night.Def on my top 10 worst ever Wire buys up to now.

A couple of bigger bodies missing but when you look at Cas and Saints benches tonight it makes you realise how good some teams are.
Wire look paper thin squadwise |

Our bench is not inspiring is it? 1 has-been, 1 might-be, and 2 never-will-bes
Westwood
Philbin
King
Patton
It's not as if we have a quality packed 13 either. But - better than last season.
I wonder if Karl is still wondering why he fell 4,000 short of his sell-out.
