I was surprised how well we played Friday night. With the side Leeds fielded, compared to our 'unknowns', I expected us to concede many points? The Leeds back line was; Sutcliffe, Briscoe,Watkins,Moon,Hall,McGuire and Burrow! Multi cup winners and internationals
Their forward pack was pretty formidable too, it must have been one of the strongest line ups of the season for Leeds? The fact they only scored one try more than us and, we played for twenty minutes with twelve men, plus, we had a few efforts denied
indicates what kind of performance our lads gave! I thought our halfbacks were terrific, Hampshire ran the ball across their defensive line all night and Josh marshalled the team brilliantly
I'm trying to think of the aged forwards we had playing
Anyone know the average age of our forwards on Friday night? If we play like that against Wigan with the LSV crowd behind us there is no reason we cant win on Thursday!
Child was his usual self too, he couldn't wait to play to the Leeds Gallery and dish the yellow cards out! funny, he didn't appear to have any with Leeds name's on
Leeds too had a team warning however, Jimmy couldn't find a card! someone said, he was consistent ? oh no he isn't
ask our Widnes friend what he produced when Chris Hill elbowed a young Widnes player followed, by a head butt on Chapelhow? consistent my
Lastly, I've been attending games at Headingly since the mid 1950s and, standing on that Terrace on Friday night, getting wet through,I thought, nothing has changed here in over sixty years
some Leeds fans had the audacity to come on this Forum and criticise the LSV after their match there
PS. when Micky is unavailable I would like to see Josh with the captains armband, he's full of passion for the game and, he's not afraid to question the officials too
