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.

Did Walker get back on the field at any point?

If you mean Alex, then yes, he came back on towards the end but there was a suggestion that he may have been limping ??

Nothing game apart from fitness etc. Shame about King, he looked one of the best forwards on the field. I’m assuming Crowther wouldn’t be in your starting 17 anyway? So no real loss at this point.
Best of luck for the season

Broken cheekbone requiring surgery and no great loss I’m sure he would be knocking on the door for the 17. What a sheite statement that is, it’ll make him feel a lot better that will . Stick to your own board if that’s the best you can come up with in your knowledge of all things rugby

His dad certainly is

His dad is what?

I get what you were trying to say but I think BLM was responding to someone implying we are not bothered about the injury. Which we are.
Crowther was actually more of a regular than King at end of last season.

Cheers mate.
Of course you’re bothered. Every team would like a clean bill of health. From my perspective, I’d be a lot more worried if Jamie Shaul got stretchered off rather than Connor Wynne. Nothing personal, just who I feel the team would miss more.

A bit peeved to think that a so called RL person who as no connection with Wakey or Leeds feels the need to comment on a game and who makes the 17 and shows no sympathy to a players position who as busted a gut in the off season to be in the best shape for the coming season .

End of.
