This is an ideal opportunity for Smith to show us the potential he has. We need players like him to come on and grab their opportunity with both hands.

Will he get an opportunity tho? He might be on bench but at most he could get 5 mins. I suspect Walker will be on the bench instead of Oledski

Not sure it`s negativity or realism.
For me Moon does not do it at SO and whilst the forwards will give it a go we really need the likes of Garbutt, Cuthbertson and Ward playing to give us that edge.
For me the forwards we have out there will probably tire in the last 15 minutes especially if the coach doesn`t use the bench well maybe due to the inexperience he has to play with.
Then there`s Watkins and his goal kicking.
He might get 100% or he might get 50% you never know what is going to happen.
I still think 37-10 to Saints unless you have a bad day and we are exceptional.

Agree his agent says he is attending Oulton Raiders U9 training?

That tweet was yesterday afternoon talking about that night (Thursday) not Friday. Even if he isn't in the 17 I'd imagine he'll be there in case of any late withdrawals or injuries in the warmup.

could be a make a break moment for smith, is he a real talent great potential then needs to show some tonight, otherwise league one career ahead.
every first team opportunity he has had so far when given game time he has not shown anything.

My mistake

Going to be a long night tonight with that bench and plenty of our starting pack are going to get flogged

I Hope that we give both Smith and Oledzki some decent game time tonight and don't leave them on the bench apart from a 10 minute cameo appearance each

With Walters and Walker also on the bench then IMO we can't be hiding too many players in the dugout and we must surely give them all a go tonight

I still stick with my opinion saints will win too strong off the bench.
Would like the RFL to come down on the saints player who faked the injury. It’s creeping into our game with all team, most of the time there is no evidence but in this case the ball was hit and he went down prentending he has a high tackle!!

We've done well to stay in this,we look soft up the middle

The Saints pitch is in pretty poor state.

It’s over the dark side of the hill Merseyside granted but that’s arguably worse!! What did you expect

What an incredible effort.

So far.

What a win.

Heroic, absolutely heroic. That's one of the best wins I think I've seen from a Leeds team.

Magnificent effort! How good was that??

Brilliant effort through sheer force of will and enthusiasm, thought the fringe squad players showed tonight that they are ready and willing to make the step up when needed.

Thought our attack was actually pretty sloppy but even players who had a bad game came up with one or two moments of real quality that won us the match.

Absolutely superb viewing. Rarely do I comment immediately post-match, but that was magnificent. Congrats to all players & coaches!!!

Now can we agree that Mac knows what is going on?

Typical Rhinos Performance tonight dug in deep when we was under dogs and came out with a victory , hopefully no long lasting injury concerns tonight and hopefully get a few back for Elland road clash next week.MOT!!! ALAW!!!!

Nobody back next week, and Watkins and Golding also likely to miss the game according to McDermott.

Really good win last night. Over come a fair few obstacles. Hopefully we will limit the amount of trys you score next week to prevent myler "goal kicking "

Fantastic team effort to grind it out, and restrict Saints into a frustrating night for them. A lot of luck along the way, but you earn your own luck.

I know Parcell got MOM, and he did come alive last twenty, but thought Singleton was just absolutely massive for us, and the real leader on the park last night.

Despite the good, have to say Handley and Abletts defence left a lot to be desired, seemed to miss tackles between them.

Well done to Cameron Smith - he really stood up to be counted

Good to see Walker back on the field - he is a different class, the best young player to emerge in SL for years

Monumental effort you know when you have out-fought a team when they start complaining about the referee!!
