Nice to get the excuses in. Do you write for the Yorkshire Post?

The Leeds team will look really strong on paper tonight and if we get beat it won’t be the end of the world.

If we lose though I’m blaming the wind.

Hardaker on the wing, Partington onto the bench.

I would have put a forward on the bench too but it wouldn't have been Partington....but..... New coach, new coaching, clean slate. See how he goes.

yada, yada, yada.

We hear it all the time. Wigan can have a full team injured (and pretty much have for the past 3 seasons) but are still a scalp for anyone that beats us but if our opponents have some injuries we are lucky and should have won anyway. Glad people still see us as the benchmark.

Totally outplayed in the first 10.

And the second 10

Much better last 15 minutes.

We improved a lot in the last 15, how many points is that wind worth? If we make yards like we did in the first 20 Leeds will be starting sets in our half.

What a great spot by Liam Moore for the Powell try. Brilliant.

Currently on 50 mins. First 20, awful but superb response. This team is only going to get better the more the pitches dry up. We clearly want to move the ball around and offload. Im loving it. It's just chalk and cheese to what we have been used to.

Errrrrrr. Where does French come in ha ha. Has to go on the wing surely, and no bad thing either.

I didn’t have a clue what Moore was going to the screen for, great reffing. Field has been superb, his support play is great.
Could he possibly fit in the halves as a bit of a Maguire style half who was always on the shoulder and then French comes in at full back? Certainly no need to rush French back.

What’s happening with Ellis he was on at the start of the game then on at the end?

What a great win. Leeds had a number missing but although we scored some brilliant tries the pack bettered the Leeds forwards who've been talked up all pre season and prior to the game.
So exciting to watch.
Field is so good and good to watch.
After three years of miserable rugby here we have the antidote.
Some of the most spectacular rugby I've seen for decades.
