Love for us to turn around Fridays performance, with an impressive win Thursday followed by we’re GF contenders again, but I expect my bi polar has kicked in again by 10pm and relegation looms

I shot my TV early last season, and it hasn’t been replaced…….

Fwiw I think Briscoe is a good back up winger, and Sutty a good half back who can pressure Austin and Sezer…..

Not for me, neither good enough.
Tindall for Briscoe and Broughton at centre.
If we want an extra forward on the bench put Sutcliffe there.

It just highlights how weak we are for backup in the pack. The bench is pretty dire and I can’t think of any improvement to add!! Thought smith has had good pre season but I have liked what I have seen from o Connor so not too disappointed if he starts there, but mellor starting fills me
With little
Hope and back up of Thompson and Donaldson are hardly inspiring

Just watched the Tindall run again on highlight reel. Burned Marshall which isn’t easy to do. Should possibly have cut inside but backed his pace out wide, and I Suspect he’d have burned any other fullback in SL too.
Would not have been a try had he passed to Austin , as Marshall had the inside covered……

Whos this Broughton character that Chapy keeps going on about?

Jodie Broughton. Nippy winger…..
Should have kept him so we have re-signed him aged 40….

The break was exciting and a highlight of the night for Leeds, however he showed his naivety in not cutting in giving himself the option of going back out and burning the FB or going for the sticks, therefore stopping the FB from setting up the tackle. He could learn from watching Scotty D sit Paul Wellens in the GF. All that said, he’s young and will hopefully learn from this.

Field is s bit faster than Wellens!
In actually liked the confidence he showed sticking to the outside . Not many wingers burn Marshall either…..

Field is faster, but when a player is moving and another is stood still it’s virtually impossible to catch the moving player, this is also why Tindall (who I agree is quick) went past Marshall as though he wasn’t there.
