I’m wondering who the next couple of lads to break into first grade will be.

Would expect to see Sinfield wirh game time this season. Simpson was close before his knee injury. Who else do you guys reckon might be there or thereabouts?

Actually quite hard to get into our 17 at the moment.

Also can anyone see Field coming through into the Leeds back row at some point? Gannon/Field/Smith is a good sized and very skilful back row.

Amazing how we go from a very poor show against cas to an irratic first half yesterday (yes there were some good periods but still irratic) then a great 2nd and now we've a 17 that's hard to get into!

It is a hard team to break into now as a young player because 6/7 lads have cemented spots overt the last year or two, and a couple more are on the verge. Some decent prospects like Muizz, Edwards and Broadbent not made the cut.

You'd probably have Max Simpson if he hadn't have done his ACL

Matt’s several players looked good but hard to judge given the quality of opposition. Our 9 and 10 looked handy.

Good to see some more big, mobile props in the system.

Who stood out for you mate?

Pressley Cassell was excellent while he was on the field, but he always is to be fair. Thought William Wilkinson and Jacob Hardey were good in the forwards. Interesting to See Harvey Butterworth at 9 in the second half, he's usually a 6 or 13 for Stanningley, he looked good. Caleb Rhodes made a big impact off the bench, nearly scoring a full lengther from a kick return ( He scored a near identical one for Birstal Victoria last week) good, Mobile prop.

Opposition well outmatched though, as you say.
