We weren’t that bad in the first half. Pretty close on most of the stats. Just some misses from Mom and Croft.
Much more direct in the second half. Croft, Martin and Handley did some good stuff. Really think Miller was great. Nice footwork, constantly backing up down the middle, good passing. Think we might have the new Webb

I won’t anoint him the new Webb but he does a lot of good stuff and is still very young in his pro career even if he’s not young in terms of age so will likely get better.

I thought he was very hard done to on that late obstruction too.

Got the same feeling as after the Catalan game last week, glad for the win but felt like we got away with one. 2nd half was a breath of fresh air, but just cant see the way we play as being sustainable for the year. Hopefully I'm wrong but think as we get further into the season teams will figure us out, and by the time we start playing the game will be gone.

Handley must be in fir an international call up

Re: RD 4 | Leigh Centurions (A) : Fri Mar 08, 2024 11:11 pm  

We're scoring some good tries so far in 2024...

Still very much a work in progress, but I don't think any of the Leeds camp think we're anywhere near the finished article yet.

While the Saints result is funny, we could have done without them coming off a loss going into next week.

Did have the same thought but thought I'd get shot for saying that on here He is a basket case though, I think he's gonna be a great entertainer come the dry months!

One of those nights when you're glad you braved the horrors of the motorway. Few things that stood out for me: 1) They tries they scored were really sharp well executed rugby and I wouldn't lay too much blame on the goal line defence. 2) It’s the errors, not the line speed or passive defence that gets us in bother. 3) Don't know if Smith has a "hair dryer" in his kitbag, but tonight I think he may have used it. The intent from the 1st tackle of the 2nd half was clear. 4) Momorosvki needs to remember he's a good player too. He could easily have scored the one he flipped back to Handley. 5) Frawley & Croft really bounced back in the 2nd half, something that would have been way beyond Austin & Sezer. 6) We may not have looked brilliant in any of our games as yet, but I think (I maybe wrong) all of our opposition made the six last year, so three wins is a fair return. 7) Let's hope HQ sells out next Friday.

I need to watch the game on TV when my eyes aren’t streaming and legs shaking with cold, but how good is Ash this year?

He’s rightly getting plaudits for tries but his D has been awesome. Career-best form for me.

Miller is a real handful on the ball. He is still naive sometimes and his kick out on the full was crap, but he wasn’t alone in making dumb mistakes.

I don’t think Mom is enjoying English winter weather conditions so far, but you can see his quality at times. Expect more from him as temperatures rise and grounds firm up. Poor errors tonight though.

Mik excellent and I liked Holroyd this week too.
