Good win over a poor side. Not watched it back again yet but felt like a competent performance from everyone, standouts being Austen, Sezer, Myler. Lisones best effort yet and Fusitua put a shift in. Encouraging to see Johnson get some game time and looked good while he was on.

The thing I'm most proud of is the club and how they handled the Burrows take over, I can't think of another club or sport that has ever put on such an event. Massive kudos for the RL family, the Burrows and Lyndsey Burrow in particular. That girl is superwoman.
I hope they raised a huge amount of money for the cause
Congratulations to all involved

She’s not superwoman . They’re incredibly brave, but must be slowly breaking whilst off camera, despite how it looks at a big event. I am proud of the support through the club and RL community, but we need to keep it going and going.

?

What a strange post.
I think someone has been out drinking in the sun....

She is superwoman as is every partner, mum n dad with family's that have to deal with adversity on that scale.
The more support that we can get for family's suffering with a long term, fatal illness the better

Hell of a way to respond and full credit to the coach and players. Like many have said we’ve had a few false dawns so hopefully this is a springboard to a strong second half of the season.

Out of interest, was McDonnell's disallowed effort really a knock on? Was going to check when I got back but forgot to record

I thought he has a second grab at it and that one was the one that went forward.

Thought it was the wrong call myself its scrappy but no clear knock on.

You pollute every thread with your negative outlook of smith, hes a terrible coach, stubborn etc.

Now we’ve won a game and you’re happy for him to stay if we win a couple more.

Didn’t think we would see you on here until the next loss

whatever. I never argue with idiots. they drag you down and beat you with experience.
do one

So It goes to show you don't know every thing Mr smartie pants.

This forum has been this way since 2006. One group who want the coach gone, and those who don't.
It always descends into name calling. Any discussion we have on future outcomes in sport is all hypothetical until it happens, we should just respect that everyone has a different opinion.

however much anyone wanted to be 'a friend like kev' they'd have no chance of raising enough to kit the house out without the celebrity connections , not that people shouldn't try

I’ve stepped away from this forum for a few weeks (and will continue to do so) as i think its become toxic, thought id just check in and then see im getting personal abuse for something when ive not even posted, so I’ll continue my hiatus for a while longer as ive got better things to do.

Friday was outstanding from the pre match burrow stuff to the performance on the field, so ill enjoy that and not get dragged down in here.

Hopefully we can continue the good form on Thursday.

Don’t go for too long Christopher, whilst we might not agree on everything, your contributions are missed.

what i actually put, for those able to read and understand basic english , was that if, the word if was ignored, smith continued to get performances like Friday and coached in the more traditional way I wouldn't have an issue with him.
Christopher, please continue contributing.

Hope youre well Christopher, good call taking a break. Not for too long I hope as your contributions are always appreciated for their balance.

Don't blame you mate. There's a good deal of name calling and nastiness creeping in. It's bang out of order and would be more suited to twitter. You will be missed. Enjoy the game on Thursday.

The bile written on here 48 hours (or more, God help us) after a loss or poor performance has only become worse over the years. The tendency for people to resort to petty insults if someone disagrees with them has always been here, but sadly there are fewer sensible people posting to balance all the knee-jerkery.

I get that things have been pretty disappointing since 2015 (despite the GF and CC wins, and the GF run last season), and it has become massively frustrating being a Leeds fan in this period.

A lot of the posters on here badly need to learn patience.

The mess we were in after Brian Mac is behind us, and we've moved on from the dark days of Lowes and Sinfield being in charge.

Richard Agar helped steady the team but he obviously hung around a season too long. While Rohan Smith has performed some pretty major surgery to the squad he inherited from Agar, the spine and the big earners are all Agar selections - Myler, Sezer, Austin, Tetevano, Fusitua, Bentley - plus Leeming whose place in the squad hasn't yet been filled to my knowledge.

For me, Rohan Smith has credit in the bank for the GF run and a run of wins against Saints, Wigan, and Catalans this season. Most importantly, (IMO) he's also put faith in a lot of younger players and we've seen the likes of Holroyd, Gannon, O'Connor and Cameron Smith (etc) really improve under his coaching, which is the kind of development we were definitely *not* seeing under Agar and McDermott.

For some reason the match day 17 don't always seem to be 'up for it' against teams that Leeds would be traditionally expected to beat handsomely, leading to some woeful showings recently. I think this has as much to do with the mentality of the players as anything else. Austin clearly wants to give his all for the team, but there are a lot of other big earners coming out of contract at the end of the season. Clearly having a clutch of senior players back from injury showed against Huddersfield too.

After reading the last few pages I’m a bit concerned, this is a forum for all fans of leeds and y’know what I’m sad to see that a valued contributor in Chris feels that he has to take a hiatus. I have tried to let things “flow” and only in very rare circumstances felt the need to step in, this is one of those times.

From this point on, I want anyone who feels that things have overstepped to DM the mods directly, report button is also there for a reason. I will not tolerate this board to slide into the horrid cesspit that is the Leeds bookface page.

Everyone has a right to an opinion, you don’t have the right to use personal abuse to score points and this will be cracked down upon from now on.

Consider this a wake up call with regard to conduct.

Largely in part because very little of the engagement is with those posts, therefore there is more disinclination to post them in the first place. A bit of chicken and egg, granted.

Back to winning ways again ..Not sure if we were actually really good or if Hudds made it look that way,anyroad , 2 points gratefully received,.Flashes of brilliance from Austin and a really good game for Myler. As one poster has mentioned , Hill lucky not to be binned for a late hit on Myler,
Big improvement with discipline and very few errors.
