Aydin was solid if unspectacular, put a few good hits in while defending.

Stats will be intresting , particularly keen to compare Lane and Sao's hit ups.

Did Brown come back after his first spell?

Thought Houghton made a couple of poor decisions, Kicked through early on the 3rd I think with one player chasing. Then didn't kick on the next set on the 5th with 3 players on his outside and went for the pass.

Sao 14 hit ups for 109 metres
Lane 13 hit ups for 73 metres
It's early though and the stats do occasionally change and improve after a bit of time.

Looks like I was wrong, can hardly remember Lane taking the ball up.

Don't feel completely in my boots like I have done every other game this season.

Still poor with ball in hand, we dont offer a great deal. Last tackle plays are even worse though. Desperate for Trueman.

Thought Chamberlain looked after Martin really well. Didn't get much ball but is solid defensively, if we can keep him for the rest of the season I'd be happy.

Ese'ese was the best forward on the pitch. Huge minutes and ran his blood to water.

We're still a poor team but at least we looked a bit more together. Grix made some odd subs too. Gardiner didn't come on while late on, Brown only doing 1 stint?

Leeds are horrendous, Frawley is the worst 7 ive seen for them and Miller is a stinker too. I'll give Smith until the end of May and then he'll be binned.

Thank god we never signed Frawley.
We have big half back issues of our own, but at least we have cap space and quota spots to work with. Leeds are stuck with Frawley for a while longer and he offers even less than Morgan Smith.

Said this last week, but I would expect only 6 at most of that starting 17 to start the first game next season.

I'd still like to see at least two more players being brought in, a 7 and a backrower, People keep saying the season is over and while it is, you can see what a better performance does for the club and the young players, key that we keep going to the end of the year and try and pick up a few wins.

Sorry Dave but sometimes you hear what you want to hear and see what you want to see. Think Lane’s been dissed far too much this season.

Maybe that's true, will have to watch it again, definitely been better this year, still see him as a squad player at best.

To be fair I was very much of the same opinion as Dave. If you'd have asked me before I saw the stats I'd have said Sao took twice as many carries as Lane.

This.

It will aid the development of the young 'uns infinitely more to be playing in a battling/competing team.

Add a 7 and back-row until the end of the season and we might even pick up some wins.

Even though he hasnt played many minutes at HKR you could see his fitness level was way above some of our players and thats down to their coach getting them ultra fit.
Tinkering Tony has so much to answer for getting us into such a deep hole.
One plus was signing Ese and if we can get Pele fitter he has some potential.
Getting Gaz back into the club is a good first step of getting out of the hole.
Rightly or wrongly i can now see Grix now given the season to see what he can do

Wasn't that always the plan.

Still need a coach who can structure about attack, not sure Grix is that man.
