found the touchline more than the tryline

Sounds like a strange mix of potential players, my hope is that this enables 1 or 2 to make it that otherwise would not have had further opportunities, like Loui McConnell and perhaps someone comes through the university route a la Keinhorst.

Squad named for first reserve game v Bradford Bulls with Broadbent, Evans, Hall, Mustapha and Walters from the first team involved.

Brandon French called up from Featherstone. Danny Bravo and Nyle Flynn called up from Batley Bulldogs.

Others involved are J Burton, O Burton, Delaney, Rowley, Spence, Mcconnell, Tindall, Whiteley and Whitton.

Won 16-10 in horrible conditions. Muizz won it with a 90m try. Walters went off early with an ankle injury but its only a couple of weeks out by looks.

Toughed it out.

Anyone impress you Marty?

Personally i thought Lauitiitiesque at Saints that time.

Joe Burton scored a beauty in 1st half. Muizz created the 3rd with a lovely pass and then ran the length. Danny Bravo went well. It was a bit of a slugfest though in truth.

One of my favourite tries that, along with the Scotty Donald sit down Paul Wellens try from the GF.

We scored some bloody great GF tries - but Scotty’s caused me to black out momentarily during the celebrations.


Could actually just about be my favourite one of the lot which is a tough call granted!

A try I think about was the winner in the 2015 GF and think of those two players involved. , if it wasn't for Keinhorst and Walters?

Full reserves match v Bradford now on Rhinos YTube Channel

Two things standing out from that game, how breathtakingly average is Evans, and i hope for Broadbents sake he doesnt have to run out at 6 every week.

Really rate Liam Tindall, his workrates exceptional and a very dynamic runner.

Cant say that about Evans he's what we need in a SC sport apparently & he'll only cost us t0p a month & a box of freddos

Think Evans is returning to Bradford next week after the reserves game at Salford this weekend.

Good its pointless keeping him here he's not good enough.

With the challenge cup being this weekend I wouldn’t be surprised to see McLelland, A Sutcliffe, Dupree, Holroyd, Evans to be involved in the Reserves.

Reserves postponed tomorrow due to water logged pitch even though it’s playable for first team

Different pitches the reserves were due to play on the pitch next to the ground.

Good effort by reserves today against a Wigan team with a host of 1st team players in. Should be proud of their efforts today.

Whole team gave everything and defended manfully.

Bit of a farce that half the team wasnt Leeds players but thsts the way its going to be.

Who played well?

Both wingers good. Whole team grafted their nuts off but like i saw 7 of team wasnt Leeds players. Whiteley did 80. Whitton waa ok at full back. Both Evans' tries was beauties. Took them really well.

Wigan had players like Escare, Joe Burgess, Bullock, Mitch Clark. God knows how they felt playing at Stanningley.

Good test for our younger players.

Would you sign Evans up, Marty?
Is he more John Atkinson or another Andy Smith, Staniland, or dare I say it Eddie Rombo?

Hes a fairly big strong thing with a knee strapped up. Think hes back at Doncaster Knights next week so we will see what the club choose. Scored 2 good tries though and he was up against Joe Burgess.
