Correct. He was not even watching the game. Reminded me of football fans who frequent the north east corner of the kc.

Leeds stuffed us at home last year, too - 10-44. The only team we did a double over was Saints. We did beat everybody except Wigan, though.

Wel I've just got in. And I must say after the first half, I was more than disappointed with that second half.
Wayman, Poore and Costigan are well off the pace, Langley and Larroyer were 'ok' but did longer spells.
Burns was for me lost out there, and understandably well off the pace. Keating was steady in the first, but didn't involve himself in the match in the second half, as a vocal good scrum half should, and that's a big worry to me! Welham needs a boot up his booty after that performance, that's the worst I've seen him play. Crap defence from Hall too. Lastly, but not least, I thought Sandercock was well and truly out-coached today.
Bearing in mind I have to not over-react with it being our first game of the season, tho after that performance, I can't not say I'm slightly concerned!

I would pretty much agree with CS, the game was lost in the backs. Welham is like a revolving door, leaving Charlie exposed, Hodgson has no bottle and Hall is a winger only and all lack real pace. The pack more than matched leeds and showed a lot more agression than previous seasons so the middle of the park looks in good shape IMO.
Welham should be dropped and Salter should take his place, maybe larroyer or lovegrove in the other centre pushing Hall onto the wing if only to keep his place for goal kicking.

How did the pitch hold up during the match? Just wondering due to the comments earlier in the thread about drainage issues due to the north stand.

Not a fan of forwards playing in the backs but would maybe look at playing lorroyer there. Certainly play Salter in the other berth. How old is welham, 26? If he hasn't learned how to tackle now he never will.

Rhinos 14th successive opening day win...not good 1st round opponents.
It was all ok for 50 mins if a bit rusty. Pity Charlie dropped that scoring pass early on. Worrying the way the energy levels & line speed suddenly fizzled though.
Travis was a gamble that didn't pay, way off the pace & mucked up one or two plays. Welham made some bad calls but also got exposed a lot. Compressed defence relies on line speed.
Disappointed but we'll get better.

Yeah, you were great 2 years ago

Lol. In 2013 we sacked our coach, got nilled at Wembley and were on the wrong end of the worst ever playoff defeat. But we still had a better season than Leeds.

Tbf Leeds backs are awesome, but there are a few plodders in that pack. Keep Peacock fit and they will go okay, but I would expect to do a job on them at home.

No you didn't.

We won as many trophies as you but got to more finals
