Really good 1st half. Sezer running on to the ball at speed looked a different player. Walker had a top game too, well done.
Downside was Newman's injury, he looked to be holding his hamstring as he went to ground. Wouldn't be surprised if we have Smith, Leeming and Fuzzy banned next week.

Missed the first half with other commitments which is a shame as it sounds like we looked good to watch also looks like scoreline doesn't reflect our dominace in the game. A wins a win especially in the early rounds of the season. I'm hoping Leeming's yellow card is sufficient as for me he hits the shoulder first and does not make direct contact with the head but won't hold my breath to see if he gets a ban. What was Fusitu'a shoulder charge like as I haven't seen it back yet? Hopefully this win kick starts our season. MOT

So potentially missing next week are leeming fuzzy cam smith and Newman. Potentially Austin if he fails his head assessment. First half looked good, second switched off. Wasn’t blown away by Fusi TBH only first game but few bad reads in D but can’t remember if we were down to 12 then? Just seemed pretty pedestrian. Maybe being harsh, will see with a few more games. Thought Walker had a good game

We might we might not, nobody thought wed be 30 nil up at half time tonight.

Was it a perfect performance far from it but there were a lot of positives to take from that, if you want to focus on thr negatives after a good with n at s ground we rarely play well at that’s up to you

Frustrating second half, but an improvement overall on the last 2 weeks.

We probably will have players banned and rightly so. Repeated dumb decisions like some of the stuff we saw from some Leeds players in the second half there is really going to cost us. They simply have to stop committing fouls that lead to bans.

Leeds fans should be complaining about the players being so dumb rather than bursting into tears about the unfairness of it all.

I'm not sure how many bans it's going to take until we clean up some poor tackling technique...

Talk about a game of two halves . First half our half backs used the ball really well , and Walker had a cracking first half . His passing and link up play were excellent and we looked so much quicker moving the ball and it paid dividends.
Second half was dire - discipline awful - we could have 3 men suspended for next week . Fuzzy late hit was a minimum yellow , but lets be honest Kendall gave us every 50 / 50 decision tonight - he was bloody awful .
Don`t players realise that attacking the head and off the ball hits will result in them missing games .
Our pack just can`t do 80 minutes - Fafita broke more tackles in one run than our pack broke in the whole of the game. We cannot compete with the top 4 teams with these forwards , and if Newman is out , then our backs are toothless.

If you want to deliberately ignore the positives I highlighted earlier in the thread that's up to you too

Might aswell not bother for the rest of the season then eh.

That Leeming one's a step too far for the game in my opinion in terms of if it receives a ban. He's hit and wrapped his upper chest and the tackled players head comes down with the impact. Fusitu’a was dumb with how those decisions are going.

Started with the thermostat at hot and gradually turned it down to stone cold.
Very composed at the start but thought we almost started trying to close the game down after 20 minutes. Austin kicking early in the tackle count when we had a 7 tackle set was particularly bizarre to me. Agree with others, Sezer injected momentum. As the game went on we got more static and line speed in attack and defence slowed significantly.
Important win but plenty to work on.
Not a great view in the rain and with not the best floodlights, but the Leeming one looked fine to me, what did Smith do?

Helped bring a player to ground in a tackle by wrapping both his legs around the players lower legs

Cheers

Jake Connor got a red card at Wakefield and a one match ban, for making contact lower down the chest than Leeming’s hit. I’d be surprised if he didn’t get a ban for that.

It was Jowitt.

He didnt at all. His right leg and foot was planted at all times. He held the Wakey player around the chest, leaned back and weighted him to ground, his left leg going under the player. Not even sure why it went on report. It wasnt dangerous, or a hip-drop. It was just unfortunate. And if it attracts a ban its ridiculous.

I think we played more as a team tonight. Certainly in the 1st half. We looked sharp at times with plenty of ball movement and a decent kicking game. Walker and Newman was big positives for me.

That said, i think Wakey put big efforts in against Saints and Catalans and couldnt repeat it tonight. That happens, it happened to us at Wigan after the Warrington effort. Wakey lacked intensity in that 1st half and we was ready to play tonight.

We needed a win and got it sealed after 25 mins tonight which was pleasing. Some of the tries was excellent tonight.

The 2nd half was patchy but with a 30-0 lead that can happen. The game was over.

Weve a lot to work on still but tonight was a step on the right path. Id like to see us offload in the tackle. Its not something we do.

Its one win, we need to back that up with wins v Hull and Salford in the next 2.

So by agars interview it was Harry's hamstring and not a dead leg. Expect at least another 3 weeks out

Be a real shame if so cos he was looking good for 1st game back and is badly needed. Fingers crossed he isnt too bad.

Jesus wept

A good win (great first half) all in all but yet more injuries and bans incoming.. frustrating. Hoping Newman is ok as he looked superb again. Great to see Walker getting back to something like, he’s reminded us of what he’s capable of last night imo and will get better

The rugby we played in the first half on a glue pot pitch on another absolutely filthy night was very pleasing. Will have our challenges with suspension and injury next week, but on a positive note that may give the likes of Johnson and Broadbent a chance. Are Hull on a four day turn around? If so, big advantage to Leeds.

I was answering why he got put on report for. Ref/Vr obviously had their concerns about the tackle and want the disciplinary to look at it to decide what did/didn’t happen

A win's nice and the execution and completion in that first half were pleasing. Then again, with the space and time we had that was almost a practice run out. It's 100% nailed on that Hull can't have failed to notice how our attack stalled once wakey sorted out their defensive width better. Quite what else can be learned, I'm not sure.
