Agreed with ches vegas, hard to asset the performance considering the mis matched but it was a much needed confidence boost.

Even with such a mis-matched I thought that not letting a single try in was testament to our defence which looking at it compared to the eagles tv highlights of the leigh game (didn't go to the game) has improved alot.

Think widnes will be tough but hope we can play QLT and misi

Bang goes the theory that the student game is strong??
Leeds Met win the comp every year but got 82 points up them?
I agree there's a big gulf in class but 82 points is a bit much me thinks.

There is a gulf in class but looking at when the points were scored I think fitness plays a big part. Loads of points in the last 10 minutes of each half.

They should be fitter than us. Our players have to work. They're students so they have all day available to keep up their fitness levels.

No smiley there so you might actually mean it. I believe some of them might attend lectures and have to do "degree stuff"

I think that their aerobic fitness is good but being smashed by the likes of Stringer, Howieson, Rowe, Higgins, Hepworth, Green, Szostak, Hirst, Yere and Turnbull has a debilitating effect when you're not used it.

Seems an unlikely scenario to me. I don't know any students who do that. :THINK:

If you genuinely believe that then it's not even worth dignifying with a response. Unreal.

From reading that I think I was at a different game to you! I thought Danny was his usual self, completely anonymous. Two knock ons and lots of sideways running. When Menzie passed him the ball behind the line I could imagine him saying "here you are, it's the only way you're going to score" but maybe in a few fewer words.

I thought Dane had a good game, we know he's not a halfback, Mark knows he's not a halfback, he knows he's not a halfback, but what options do we have? This whole Kyle Wood scenario is an absolute joke, give him back to Huddersfield full time and let's go out and buy another halfback, even with QLT here we're still short in my opinion. I think Dane can be useful at loose forward, he makes decent yards and isn't afraid to put his head in where it hurts.

Agree about the attendance, I don't care who we're playing or what the venue is, 350 for a home game is embarrassing, very few people turned up and payed on the gate. Maybe the pricing structure was wrong, I certainly don't think we did enough to entice students from Leeds Met to attend.

Professional performance and job done, in the hat for the next round. Next week is the real test, then we will really see what this squad is made of.


I totally agree with that, I thought Danny Mills was absolutely ordinary at best, I think Dane is getting better too. The win is something very much needed to boost their confidences and mine!!! Not for a long time have I felt we have no hope, seasons come and even though it's never usually a good start, there is always a glimmer of something. But this year, nothing, and tbh if it hadn't have been free the match, I wouldn't have gone and that's so not like me. They've been damn right awful.
