Interesting shout. I'd have just gone with O'Connor over Briscoe.

You're not sentimental enough.

Wakey running with 5 props tonight, will that give them an edge keeping momentum down the middle as we bring just Thompson on... I'm of the mind that we'd go better starting Smith and having Tet up against fifita when he comes on rather than our tiring 3. All the more reason the spine and 3/4 need to up their game.

Completely agree. I don’t understand why we keep putting Tet at 13 and start with 3 props. It’s absolutely bonkers, we never get on top of the other side pack anyway. Start with Smith or O’Connor at 13 and at least have some bang to bring on from the bench

Looking at their side tonight, if we cannot beat them we really are in trouble, Leeds by 16-20 points.

God knows why Briscoe is on the bench. Doesn't deserve to be in the 17 after the last few games

Lovely Gannon try

Looks like someone jumped in with their knees on Newman...

Happens too often that without being penalised. Great start.

Walker superb so far.

No card I assume?

Yep, absolutely nothing given.

Quiet on here...



Really good, clinical performance so far. The timing and execution have been excellent.

30-0 at HT. A great first half!

Very good half assured and much more cohesion, Harry and Jack walker looking sharp. I do still wonder about our bench going forward though.

Can we play you every week?

Yeah, slightly quicker play the ball, Leeming brining on runners nicely. Sezer, Austin more space, Walker looks sharper with nice running, a lovely pass and generally looking dangerous. Newman and Fusi look dangerous on that edge.

Wakey have been fairly poor but I think we haven’t given them much of a chance. Not many pens, don’t think any six agains and not many errors.

Wow - where did that 40 mins come from?
What a difference a week makes....
Walker superb
Newman all class
Half backs combining
Forwards on top
Sutcliffe actually passing
Martin and Handley excellent
Something that actually resembles an attacking game plan

But let's not get carried away - Wakefield poor

And I just don't understand why Briscoe is on the bench?

Newman injured again. Ffs! Poor lad.

So, that's why Briscoe's on the bench

Must have known it was a risk, hence Briscoe on the bench

That injurys just taken some real gloss of this

Hopefully just precaution?.

Broadbent should be on the bench if any doubt on Newman.

I'd say so.

Apparently Newman has just a dead leg. No hamstring injury.
