Took another knock late on, I think that’s when it happened cos no way would he have played on with the state of his eye

Ah right ok, was going to say it must have been a bad call to let him return if he did it then. Speedy recovery to him

That's two players out before the start of the season then as read on Twitter that George King has a suspected broken ankle...

Hope it does not affect Jordan's conference improved a lot last year ,with Kings injury not the start we wanted Think Kings injury effected the team a lot.Know it was a so called friendly but looks like there still a lot of work to do.Movment of ball was slow .Line defence was good till we went down to 12 men .

Well 2 forwards down and one already missing season start. Turned out to be a costly game in the end. Hopefully we don’t pick up another injury in the props because it already looks like we are going in lightweight in that area.

As for the game. Nothing at all to shout about in that one. It was dreadfully poor in almost all aspects of play. The only good thing was a short spell of good line defence but otherwise pretty dour.

As others have said there’s a lot of firepower to come into the team so nothing to be concerned about at this stage. Just wish we’d stop giving penalties away on the 4/5th tackle and actually challenge for high kicks or place them better.

Not best from us going forward although ok on defence 1st half sin binning made difference 2nd half but leeds better team i would put money on handley as top scorer this season especially at 20-1 all play thru gayle down left as per cas

get on the phone now to get kyle turner .

Why, are you paying for him?

Jordan and George will be okay but thanks for your concerns, we are well covered in the forwards you couldn’t write it.

Thanks BLM. Your reassurance means a lot.

Players like Atkins and some of the senior boys know just want to get some fitness etc and they know that they will be playing in game 1 and young lads all bust a gut, hoping to get noticed.
Leeds pack was always on top and after King went off, plus the Kershaw sin binning, which cot us 14 points, the game was over.
Reece Lyne was a real handful. Made good metres and was difficult to put down.
The difference in attitude in the two sides was massive, we looked like we just wanted a run out but, Leeds seemed to be treating it far more seriously.
Injuries were the last thing we wanted though
Our line defence and scramble in the first half were excellent, which was probably the biggest plus point.
