What a committed performance for the full 80 mins.
We don't yet have the attacking quality of player required but today was all about the defence and energy.
We wouldn't have had that level of performance under Smith but I believe Grix deserves a lot of credit for today.
He has been building us up slowly but surely and the mindset is the biggest improvement he's brought.
A good win today and although Leeds were poor I was still not confident.
Who also is that play acting tw @ t for Leeds?
He was such a d1ck.

Definitely a shot in the arm, the team look fitter and the body language much improved.

I've no idea why Balmforth has had so few chances under several coaches, he's a proper hooker spots gaps. I know his defence has been a concern but honestly I could cope with a missed tackle or two if he's creative in attack. You can't win games by just tackling.

EseEse was again immense, and was great to see his passion at the final hooter.

Also credit for Carlos who has taken a lot of stick but played well especially considering how long he's been out

That should hopefully be a real confidence booster for the team.

Really pleased for Balmforth, took his chance well today. All the forward impressed, especially Ese'ese and Sao. I'd love us to keep Chan, another impressive performance.

We just need to back this up next week against Warrington.

Chan seems to be really enjoying it here. Bodes well.

Leeds butchered so many chances late you have to wonder if they were trying to get Smith sacked.
I'll take a win though, thought we deserved it.

Think it was Newman that went down lying about a headshot.

Re: Leeds at Home : Sat Jun 15, 2024 5:55 pm  
the one massive plus was the togetherness team spirit and will to play for each other. Win or lose we have longed for that to return and how great it was to celebrate with the players every little win and mistake forced. The media and the Leeds Coach etc all quote how crap Leeds were, no mention of us, yet they were all harping on about putting on a big show for Rob Burrow so what more of an incentive could they have had but we put them under pressure and for me after what has gone before, that was a really heartening showing and shows what a pretty average squad can do when they believe in each other. The critical bit for me was when we started badly and were penned in our quarter we didn't for once concede stuck together celebrated the smallest of victories and built from there. Massive confidence boost and a good win for me. Enjoyed it for once.

Newmans like a pantomime villa8n. It was hilarious when he was getting hard with carlos in the 1st half

Re: Leeds at Home : Sat Jun 15, 2024 5:59 pm  
The only concerning thing for me is Grix saying the Martin try & the ruck speed being quicker was just a coincidence & not because it was Balmforth playing + Martin instead of Barron playing. Sounds to me if Houghton is fit he’s straight back in even though everybody can see we’re unfortunately better without him.

Thought Carlos led by example, showed all of his big experience in keeping everyone focussed on the game. Looked energetic and committed after his lengthy spell out, put a shift in (as did everyone).
I too thought he was finished for us, but think he showed today he can still play an important role for us in what is likely to be his final few games for the club.


Its a pity about Tuimavave and his injuries and the fact that he is likely to leave because in my opinion he could have easily stepped up into second row.
Deceptively strong,good footwork and still decent pace for a second row

The fact that, once he was on he stayed on, was a really good sign for his future at the club imo. Grix obviously saw what we saw. Not only does he have to play next week but he has to start imo.


We just dont know what has gone on in the background regarding Balmforth but something or someone has stopped his progression.
Probably coincidence that the guy who brought him to the club was released recently and Balmforth is now in the side.
People will say because Houghton is injured but he has been playing with the same injury for weeks
