I have never been a fan of Liam Higgins, last night he proved me wrong. He seemed to be involved in just about every tackle, and he made good yards on a number of occassions. Sir I doff my cap.

Also, contrary to what someone wrote on here I though Wainwright was excellent. He was loving the big hits. He also made some good grond, there was one point when three tacklers had him, he went down onto his knees but still carried on going forward on his knees for another two metres or so.

Every body was great, but I must say Goldy makes me nervous at fullback. I am not sure whether TM told him and Owen to rotate the spot or whether Owen was having to mop up for him a lot.

Well done lads

That's what a coach should do, not make excuses

Well done lads, lets kick on now

The bloke is obviously a class act and gracious enough to admit the best team won , should be remembered when certain other coaches are bleating about referees , video refs etc

Well done Cas , an excellent result for you .

Great stuff, good luck for the rest of the season (not against us, obviously!), and good luck with the stadium as well.

He doesn't really have to admit defeat much though does he? If he was losing every week I think he'd be making excuses as well.

Just looking at some pictures from last night (I couldn't go), the Headingley pitch looks a disgrace. I know we've had bad weather but I thought ours looked in good condition when we played Hudds a few weeks ago.

Time for us to knock them off the best pitch crown this year?

Never seen so much sand on a professional rugby field, The bad weather hasnt helped but the real culprits are the union boys who also play there,should improve when their seson ends in april?

1st leeds try by mcguire would have rolled dead but it held up in the sand!
