Still, conceding 4 tries in as many minutes at home hardly shows a sign of a world class team.

Oh course not, but we aren't dealing with world class teams in the Middle 8's.

Well I guess we will find out how good Leigh are next week when they play Salford who (by number of SL wins) have been the best of the SL sides in the middle 8s

btw I hope we don't take London lightly just because they lost, it arguably makes them more dangerous as it means they need to beat a SL team to get in the MPG

ee

Soward got sent off for fighting so will be interesting to see what (if any) ban he gets.

If you can't get a little excited when scoring 60+ points when can you?

All we can do is beat the team we are playing and we did that well. However, the fev game is now gone so we can all forget it and move on to next week.

I don't understand this obsession with not getting carried away. It's been an awful season, enjoy it when we play and win well.

We must not get carried away because we should be ashamed of not being in the Super 8s.
If we get all "Billy Big Balls" over such a win then our standards and expectations are far too low for a team of Leeds' pedigree.
Let's get through the remaining 6 games competently, everyone doing their job, then we can start to prepare for a recovery season next year and hopefully finish in the top 4.

I don't disagree with the sentiment and we shouldn't get carried away but neither should we be ashamed of putting a championship team to the sword. Enjoy the moment.

Not dealing with world class teams in the [uSUPER[/u 8's either.

Qualifiers Round One Round Up The Super Eights Qualifiers will take seven rounds to determine who will play in Super League in 2017 and who will fight out next season in the Championship. Four Super League teams will all fancy their chances to retaining their status but the top four Championship sides will all hope to spring enough upsets to get themselves into the Million Pound Game. The opening round saw the Leeds Rhinos travel to Featherstone, Leigh Centurions host the London Broncos, Salford Red Devils take on Huddersfield Giants and Hull KR host Batley Bulldogs.

I don't think too many are getting carried away, it was just a fun Saturday afternoon's entertainment after a mostly awful season.

Got to agree with your views on Baldwinson, he certainly proved why he hasn't been picked over our other props this season. I still think he has a future in Super League with us but he has to show some patience.

It was good to see Leeds finally put a clinical performance together even if it was against a part time team. Sutcliffe and Segeyaro ran the show in attack for us and our right edge looked lethal. It was a great confidence booster and I'm sure the lads will be feeling good going into Friday's game where we have a real opportunity to put down a marker to every other team in the middle 8s.

I wonder if there will be a middle 8 Tee shirt this year oh and a Booklet with quotes from all the games

Wake me up when this is over. It was always going to go this way once you seen the players returning and we also got a quality nine in place again.

Are you not even remotely excited at the prospect of going the whole mini-season unbeaten in the Sack-of-S**t 8's division?

nope, its a Zzzzz-fest for me watching Kallum and co. rip part time defences to shreds when they couldn't be arised turning up for most of the regular season. Of course GH Will try and put some lipstick on this particular pig and paint it as ' back to our best now players are fit..signs of things to come...' etc.. , as you know

I'm not sure what fans expect from GH. There is no way he could of foreseen the way this season was going to go. It was always going to be a transitional year after the retirement of Sir Kev (a year earlier than expected by all accounts), DM's injury and slow recovery, LS slow recovery to form in a struggling side. Load more excuses that have all been touted before
Treat this season as an extraordinary one, have some faith in the club which has been at the top of its game, this year excluded, for 12+ years.
GH is a good CEO and will steer us back to the championship winning club that we know is in hiding

Unfortunately for Baldwinson he thinks he is much better than he actually is.

If he was a chocolate bar he would eat himself.

Pretty much spot on.

he messed up with the hooker situation. he was so sure we had Clarke in the bag that when it fell through late on he had to scrape the, very, bottom of the barrel.

Faloon shouldn't have been bottom of the barrel, player of the year 2 years ago

Although it turned out that he was

Faloon is a perfect example that every NRL starter is certainly not a guaranteed success in SL. Hooker is such an important role in todays game, you can't really get by without one who is looked on as being quality if you think about. Having to scrape around with a bit part in the role like Rob Burrow for most of the year won't cut it.

Sums up my view of the rest of the "season".

Deader than the dodo, more pointless than sweeping up leaves in a hurricane, less exciting than Steve Davis painting a fence and more predictable than vomit on a stag night.

I'm sure his leaving for the Warriors a few years ago was being bemoaned because he was the future of our pack for the next decade.

Baldwinson has been excellent for fev this season
