JP spoke very highly of Manning last night in the long Br. Said he had the two greates attributes you need.......he wanted to be in the first team and was very enthusiastic. Also said that the players had really enjoyed playing alongside him.

I think I said Manning wouldn't play for the 1st team this year. And to be honest, without the injuries he wouldn't.

That said though, I am glad to be wrong. A few weeks back I thought Worrell brought a lot of enthuisiasm to the side and it was good to have him around, but his last two performances were woefull. Manning brought that same enthuisiasm last night, without the poor defence. Cant see anything in Ratu though that says Super League player.

Just to be pedantic, I'm sure McGuire actually lost the ball in a tackle after Burrow's break, so unlikely we'd have scored anyway.

Fair summary though.

Bit harsh on ratu imo mate.
I agree now re-worrall it's a pity he hasn't replicated previous form and it's looking more likely he and gibson will leave!!
Does anyone know if either were injured last night or are there signs of early release?????

I don't think Leeds will be looking to release either of them early, not with the present squad assembled. Both could yet have a part (however small) still to play this season.
