Another solid effort from the lads, thought it was going to really get away from them at a couple of stages, but they battled well.

Really hope the club dont see Broadbent as a 6, its clear as day he's a , and a very good one.

Yeah miracle pass for Tindall and solid D.

Am I the only person noticing Holroyd? Monster of a game from him tonight. Ridiculous amount of work in D and got stuck in to the opposition as usual.

McLelland much improved second half, and though Cam Smith and Walker got into the match more.

Have to say Bodene Thompson and James Harrison look okay.

Holroyd looks to have lost a bit of puppy fat as well.still massive but a bit leaner.

Tommy has lost a tonne of weight, and is much fitter for it. He’s already proving he can deal with the physicality, but with a bit more muscle on he’ll be a fantastic forward.

So much potential...

Mclelland went well tonight, even got praised by Phil Clarke. As for the ' get rid of Tom Briscoe and get Tindall in the first team ' brigade Really

nowhere near ready yet !

A decent display. For context Leeds have sent first teams over to saints in plenty of seasons and come away with worse results.

Great credit to the lads, who will take a lot from the game and now have a mental market for what is required to complete at the top of the competition

Said the same to a long time poster on here whilst we were watching the game. There’s a lot to like about these Baby Rhinos.

Anyone else think that Harrison looks decent? gets through tonnes of work and seems a bit of a handfull

Pleasing thing to see is how he is developing quickly and that’s hard work and attitude. Also - what a response to getting dropped for the CC final.

Very excited by how good he could get.

I’d say the best prop prospect I’ve seen come through our academy.

Thought we could and should have got closer to Saints tonight to be honest but lots of value in that still I think.

Big Mik only had one spell didn’t he? Would expect him to play Monday. Almost a shame Holroyd and Smith played such big minutes because for me both would be in the “top” side.

Yes been quite impressed with him.

Does this long time poster not post anymore if its the one i'm thinking of he should.

Didn't watch the game, watched LUFC.

Sounds like our kids showed a lot of effort again. I'm happy they're getting some half decent game time.

I noticed Mik only had one spell, if guess that was the reason.

Regarding Smith and Holroyd, both are young and haven't played a massive amount of rugby recently, so may be ok to double up

Im happy to see these young lads get gametime the fixture list has forced our hand & fair play to Agar he's utilising his squad.
I think "ranking" individuals is harsh there is plenty of potential in this group & i genuinly believe next Year they should be more involved.
Players like Walters Holroyd Mclellend Muzzy etc deserve the squad spots taken up by Evans Thompson etc. Id genuinely look at moving Lui & L.Briscoe on as well. We have Walker Myler Gale Mclellend plus the likes of Hsndley can cover FB.
I do think Broadbent is a much better Centre than 6 though the kid has huge talent.

Agar mentions Broadbent in his post game presser when asked about who's impressing him, also says Broadbents playing out of position at 6 and wont be judged on his performance in that position...Pleased to hear they dont see him at 6 long term.

You cannot knock the effort of the team they give it everything - it shows what a farce the comp. has become when marquee games like this are reduced to little more than a training run. It does the sport no favours.

That Simms looks a good prospect for Saints - class

Gee, He’s his own number 1 fan...

Ha ha how is Gareth - thought his attention had shifted to the NFL

Welsby is real quality too - not a bad deputy for Coote.

The club is in a difficult position managing this fixture log jam. I’m chilled about it: outstanding to win the CC this year. Anything else is a bonus and whereas I wouldn’t look a GF in the mouth, we would have our work cut out.

What we have seen this season is a return of spirit, a return of hope and a return of competitiveness. Some really talented lads for the future have shown up. Our challenge is to topple Saints over the next couple of years.

It's just irritating that everything has fallen so easily for saints with the fixtures. It's a grand final, on a plate, knife and folk.

Still his usual grumpy middle aged man self, but takes one to know one I guess.

If i was a Leeds fan i'd be rather pi55ed at Agar not using his best team against Saints, there isn't much between 4th place and knowing your luck could easily pull two wins off to win a Grand Final.
Ok so you just won the CC but that was last week ffs

Have you seen our fixture list?


Agar got it spot on last night as he did v Wanky away & Catalans at Home.

Agreed. I had a feeling Oledzki would only do one stint. Bit of a shame Catalan v Wigan got called off to potentially bring Catalans win %age down.

I don't want to see another side win 3GFs in a row, but not sure I could cheer Wigan on against Saints. Plus it's funny Warry have never won it.
