Throughly enjoyed the whole day!




Agree with the above 100% and can't really add anything else to what's already been said.
1-17 were outstanding and tbh, we should have won by more!
Well done to DP and the team for getting the tactics spot on.

Looking at the faces of the Rhinos fans after the game as I made my way back to Leeds city centre was a thing of beauty .

They were full of it in the pub pre match and giving it the usual condescending comments .

Little old Wakey are a different animal these days and would probably have crumbled in the past when Lino was sin binned and we had to defend those repeat sets close to our line .

The boys didn't take a step back .

I haven't felt too well this last week but that was the best medicine I've had in quite a while even if my beer intake wasn't too grand .

My favourite comment on this thread!

Thought the ref was excellent yesterday as it goes. Didn't blow up on many 50/50s which is what I want to see.

I can't believe anyone thinks Pratt's effort was a try! McMeeken literally points Pratt through the gap in front of him then backs into the defender. 100% obstruction, and Oli wouldn't have coasted through without it. Our best case scenario would have been for Pratt to take a tackle, but I can understand why he took his chance in hope.

I also saw the Bentley forearm, but he puts that in half his tackles, and as the season goes on he'll pick up bans. Not sure I've seen anything as satisfying as him dropping that ball cold and Pitts laughing at him.

Disagree re: Pratts try . Ackers would have struggled to touch him , never mind stop him.

If the situation was reversed would you still believe it not to be an obstruction.

It's possible. But if Pratt would have got through that gap, then it's stupid of McMeeken to shepherd Ackers. It's not a try. If Leeds had scored in the scenario I would have been screaming.

I'd normally agree but Pratt came from so far away McM wouldn't have known he was in the line when he stopped.

It was interesting that Ackers made no attempt to tackle Pratt when he could have tried to. Instead focusing on appealing for obstruction.

Speaking of Bentley, that was funny towards the back end of the 2nd half when Leeds was getting frustrated, Bentley got tackled and started to get all over-excited getting up and jumped up as though he was gonna have a go at the marker, then he saw it was Big Mike and he quietly played the ball and wandered off.

Watched the full game this aft, two players that I didn’t really take much notice of during the game (4 pints) but stood out like sore thumbs during their stints were Oli Russell and Caius Faatili. Russell was an absolute dog in defence, that lad can graft and the energy that Caius brought, albeit it was only 10 mins or so was the best period of defence in the second half. I genuinely think he will be a very impressive player Caius, he’s just got it in bucket loads. When he’s match fit he’ll cause teams a lot of bother, he reminds me of Greg Eastwood. He was very dominant in defence and carried very well, just needs to get match fit.
