Cracking game, had a play off feel to it, lots of panic rugby but great value from start to finish.

I've got all my 14 fingers crossed for a repeat at wembley in an all Yorkshire final

Got a feeling you may be in for a surprise, chap..........

About what? Will we not be playing Salford?

I sincerely hope that the game matches the intensity of last Thursdays.

I'm pretty long in the teeth and don't live or die by results these days so I'd take a loss to a resurgent Salford side if it's a great game to the usual low intensity borefest our games have been.

Yes, you are correct, you're playing Salford next....well done.

I am also certain that the match will have an intensity to match your last game.

Roll on Friday.

I certainly hope so allthough I am down to miss the game this week.



I hear that your new coach has put some priority on lifting fitness levels at the club and it seems to be paying dividends.

Here's hoping so.

Iestyn has worked wonders in turning the ship around so quickly following Nobles tenure. He’s made some clever additions in Mason-Caton Brown, Josh Griffin and of course Kevin Locke (although he’s only played one game thus far). We look much fitter, our defence is stronger and due to the recent additions have pace to score from anywhere on the pitch and capitalise on opposition errors.

Leeds will be a big test for us though, we’re by far the finishing article and are still prone to lapses in concentration. The intensity we’ve shown in spells which has blown the likes of Huddersfield, Hull FC and Hull KR away in recent weeks needs upping considerably if were to challenge you boys on Friday night.

we're not in the greatest of form.

A good 15 mins at the end of the Hull KR game and an improved showing against Cas were steps in the right direction but I suspect Salford's form in the last month has been far better.

Ooooh, talking myself into getting excited about this game.

I'm excited about it.

Try taking yourself into being excited for Saturday's London v Hull KR fixture. I dare you.

How about

Excited Hull are leaving Yorkshire

And how good did that game turn out to be!

Lots of mistakes but it was played at a decent pace and a good intensity. It was probably the best Leeds Salford game in years but that isn't exactly much of an accolade!

Crickey. You're hard to please. I thought it was a belter.

I enjoyed it. Better than I thought it would be.

I think CS describes it perfectly.

I didn't particularly enjoy the game, though I was already in a bad mood after Yorks' loss in the T20 so that probably contributed to what I'm about to say.
The game was close & so it was exciting for that reason but it remained close due to our poor play & mistakes rather than Salford's good play.
Had we not made so many errors & the game still been close then I would have enjoyed it more.
