Its a poor quality Chis but we are seeing some effort.
Tinkering Tony certainly has a lot to answer for

Game over on 51 minutes. Better than previous weeks anyway.

Absolute pathetic squad, really cant believe Pearson/Clarke/Smith think this is anywhere near super league level.

Sao needs to go firefighting next week

Think we all know that the quality isn’t there it’s not doing any disservice to say it’s poor quality as we just don’t have the quality needed which think we’ve all known for long enough. As you say there Smith for a Coach of his experience and track record has lot to answer for.

We aren’t going to set the world alight this season but we just want to see some improvement which is more than evident out there today. Yes it’s early days but we look a more together and united group.

Yeah the lads look a lot more bonded than they have done all season. It's good to see them really celebrating holding out on the line in defence. Walker definitely trying to fire the lads up in that department.

Charles is being way exposed, great experience for him but he needs to be protected more.

I know we lost but it almost feels like a win.
Defensively much better. Not perfect by any means but the desire was certainly there which is what we've been asking for.

Brilliant effort, just lacking that but of class, swap Smith and Croft and we win that.

Much better defence, I know people will say its only ledds, but they still have Miller, Croft, Ackers and Smith as there pivots.

Really like the look of Moy who looks lively, Ese Ese immense, Pele much better and Walker looks a threat and missed tackle apart defended really well.

Also imprseed with the loan players, particularly Chamberlain, hits hard.

Hopefully Briscoe, Scott and Trueman back next week.


I

We win that game easily with 2 good halves in my opinion.
Not sure why we didn't once get Pele charging at the line when we were only a few metres out. The way he was running he'd have had a great chance at getting over.

Ese'ese is a fantastic player. What a stint he put in today.

Was impressed again with Martin.

Some all round class that this game and punches above his weight.

The plus so far this year is seeing Martin, Charles, Staveley and Moy.

Going to a be great winger.

If Trueman is fit next week we should seriously look at moving Smith from halfback to the bench as back up nine.
His last tackle options are so poor made worse by his inept kicking and as you say never used a big forward like Pele with a short pass to run at the line.
I know he does his best but we are just gifting the ball to the opposition on the last tackle

2 great young wingers on display today, one for each team. That Lumb also looked a very confident young player.
I've never thought much to Robert's for Leeds. Reminds me a lot of Harvey Barron. Thought Lumb did more and look more assured today than I've ever seen from Roberts.
Well done to both Lumb and Martin.
