We did enough to win still not a convincing performance and some defensive effort were questionable but a wins a win a step closer to Super League 2017.

Gifted tries away again and not dominating collisions in the middle allowing them quick PTB's. London's second try from our defence was garbage from us (although the field position gifted to them from the ref deciding that Watkins tackled the opponent in the air was a poor call).

In attack as the half went on we were looking livelier and livelier and a number of breaks and half breaks appearing when far out. Trying to keep the ball alive and be more aggressive compared to last week and the first half vs Fev which did cost us their first try but still better to see as its the style we suit best. Near the opponents line though we are still struggling.

London do look handy in attack and one of the other SL teams might come unstuck against them.

For our attack on their line, it would help if we passed to the left and not just right, Hall might as well go stand outside briscoe on the other side as there is no point having a left winger at the minute.

Our soft defence is still a problem and we need to be well up for salford as it is a game they need to win.

Rhinos Win Again Against Plucky Broncos : Sat Aug 20, 2016 3:55 pm  

Rhinos Win Again Against Plucky Broncos One hundred percenters, the Leeds Rhinos had a trip to a windswept capital to take on a London Broncos side looking to bolster their Super a league 2017 by shocking their visitors. Last week the Broncos defeated the Batley Bulldogs by a massive 76-16 to show their clear intentions for the Qualifiers. The Rhinos would have been looking forward to the artificial 4G pitch at the Trailfinders, exactly the same as the one that they practice on all week. The Rhinos were clear favourites but wouldn't underestimate the Broncos. READ MORE ON THIS STORY...

It was pathetic. That can not be played up at all. Six try's conceded to a championship team is woeful. And yet some still feel we could challenge the top teams. None of the top eight would have conceded half the points Leeds did today against London,

On the positive, I thought Ferres was very good and MOM. Sutcliffe looked very good, and Briscoe's support and finishing good. McGuire out I am not sure whether will be a bad thing, we looked better with him off in attack.

Spot on about Hall, can't recall him touching the ball in the oppositions 20m.

The middle defence was poor, hopefully was a case of clocking off given the opposition/low key atmosphere and they'll be much improved vs Salford at Headingley.

---------------------------------------

Thought Sutcliffe went well at FB, took some tricky catches well and set off and dangerous runs. Watkins again looked the biggest threat, although completely c**ked up not finishing that try (perhaps a sign of a clocking off attitude in the team today). Keinhorst had a good game in the other centre position and set up Sutcliffe's try well. The forwards looked ok going forward and marched us upfield comfortably and good to see Cuthbertson manage a lot more minutes today but defensively as mentioned previously a lot of soft efforts and clocking off. Don't think Galloway came back on after being taken off around 25 mins in, hopefully it was a case of saving him for next week and not an injury, but thought Mullally could've been on earlier.

Week off - Salford at home next, a week on Thursday. They look gone but nothing's a given, certainly this year.

Probably best to nip this Jenna Brooks mistake early. London scored five tries to Leeds' eight. Very gallant of the respective coaches to not pick her up on it.

Re: SLQ RD3 - London A. : Sat Aug 20, 2016 5:27 pm  

Went through the motions and that was enough. A game of awful tempo and low intensity. Much better quality games in the National Conference League most weeks than that tosh.
