Forwards are alright, it’s halfback and fullback for me. Could do with someone who can cover those and centre as well.

We have:

Centre: Thornley, Pratt, Croft, Law. (This is fine).

Second row: Ashurst, Griffin, Boothroyd. ( probably 1 or 2 light).

Loose: Cozza and Pitts.

Props: Atoni, Bowden, Bain, Uele, Shaw. (This is at least 1 prop light).

I agree with full back and halfback but we are definitely light on forwards.

I’m pretty sure that we will see a couple of forwards come in over the season. I’d be happy to see 2 big name mid season signings come in with a view to being here 2025 in SL.

Yes and if we look to sign 2 x top quality or good players mid season it’s effectively a big boost for the business end and 2025. They have to be of good quality though.

I’m still confident with the team we have to be able to finish top. Need Uele, Bain and Boothroyd to really hit the ground running in the forwards.

My Boxing Day team:which would be our strongest:

1. Pratt (he can play fb I believe)
2. Franco
3. Croft
4. Thornley
5. Walmsley
6. Jowitt
7. Lawford
8. Bowden
9. Hood
10. Atoni
11. Ashurst
12. Griffin
13. Cozza

14. Smith
15. Uele
16, Boothroyd
17. Doyle (to interchange 13).

AGREE our 6,7, and 9 got us in to the Championship. Gale as been great but now so injury prone because of age

Beautiful day here at Headingley.

Slick start.

Leeds short kick offs stop for some strange reason.

16-0 Up

First sight of Walmsley…… see ya!!!

Excellent first half structures look good defence outstanding seen enough whatever the result now with substitutions that we look well drilled

The defensive organisation is like day and night compared to last season coupled with an excellent tackling technique.

Well I'm quite stunned how good we are. Really impressive.
