Wahey!

I am only at uni one day a week, i work 5 days a week - including today. I tend only to be on here when i am at work... Ssh!

I live a few miles away on the outskirts end of town and tend to cycle to games so when i said 'up for 6.30pm' i meant 'up the incline through town, up the incline past uni and up the bank along Otley road'. I have been at work since 8am, and with a link to this site open since about 10am...!

Touché on the wordplay and reinterpreting what i had said previously!

I sort of knew that. But the student link was too tempting.

I am impressed by your dilligence in waiting until 10am to open RLfans though.

It is a good mid-morning treat to leave it and then catch up on all that has gone on since the previous evening. It passes some time! It is getting a balance between leaving it long enough so that there is more to read when i eventually do, versus going on earlier and then being more bored the rest of the day as i have read everything already!

I haven't quite got the right balance yet - or people need to step up their amount of posts outside of working hours!

Just wait until you finish Uni and can't get a job / has to start at entry level!

Briscoe doing the business,great try and assist.

To think this time last year we had Vickery on that flank! His partnership with Watkins looks like being awesome.

Briscoe and hardaker the difference.

We'll be relying on those skillfull backs heavily this season, because the pack looks totally spent.

But how about that 'see ya later' from brisoce in the first half? Cot damn

Helen Skelton is always up for a challenge. Maybe she should play in the halves for Wire next week. She'd probably do a lot better than her husband.

Wire were rudderless tonight. Leeds made hard work of it at times but they were streaks ahead of Warrington.

Fair play to Wire they never gave up but i thought it should have been over by H/T both Watkins and Hardaker ignored Briscoe out wide which cost certain scores and then Mcguire threw a wild pass into touch when Watkins and Briscoe were free again.
I thought our defence in our own 20m was very good and Mags looks fitter than he has done for a while.
Aiton looked sharp at DH and defended strong.
On the flip side some poor discipline at times ,markers not quick enough and Kylie to me looked a shadow of his former self.
Singleton had little impact but imo should have had longer minutes to get into the game ,Hall had a mare with kicks and blocked Hardaker from defending a kick as did Mcguire which i think was poor communication all round.
Plenty of positives and a win is a win but at the same timne stacks to work on especially with the ball.

I thought his defence was very weak, he got shrugged off too often and it was him who Ben Westwood went over the top of for his try. He looks very small out there.

I thought he stuck like a lympit but have recorded the game so wil watch it again.
As for Westwoods try Ward and Hardaker were also in the tackle so until i watch it again i think its harsh to put it down to just Aiton.

It was more down to Ablett losing concentration I thought.

I think it was Anthony England who bumped Aiton of a couple of times and obviously when westwood crawled over the line.

I thought England was a right unit and a very strong runner how old is he?

Just re watching the game and Eddie just said he's 27

Just to add i also thought we moved the ball pretty well both left and right in the first halfeven if the odd pass wasnt the best so plenty of potential as we al knew.

Another strong forward from the championship, 28 apparently.

sorry yeah he is 28 in october according to his warrington page.

how many more games can peacock play like that? seriously 60 odd tackles? anybody know how many drives/meters?

I think Singleton only got about 15 minutes on the pitch and a lot of that was when we were under pressure on our own line around the hour mark.He was under used IMO, he should be getting the kind of minutes afforded to Kylie tonight but its early days and im sure he will play a bigger role as the season wears on.

Hardaker was superb and indeed our whole three quarter line is going to take some stopping this year.Hopefully the Sinfield injury isnt too bad.

A late starter to SL then but goes to show especially if he continues to have a positive impact theta are players in the lower Leagues if yer prepared to look.
JP is just a one off freak a complete machine but again we have to start sharing his work load imo.

I actually thought it was a pretty poor performance. The goal line defence was good, apart from the Westwood try, and we showed some good touches with the ball but they were few and far between.
I thought we struggled at the ruck and the speed of the Warrington play the ball was a problem, they made it into our half almost every time they had the ball, but thankfully their halves (Myler in particular) were terrible overall.
Individually, Hardaker, Peacock, Watkins were excellent, and Ward looked decent after such a long lay off. The rest were average to disappointing IMO. The lack of go forward at times is a concern for me also.
Next week I'd start Singleton again, although he was shocking today, Kyle was also pretty terrible too. I'm still not convinced by Clarkson and don't think he'll ever be good enough for a top SL side, and I'd consider moving Delaney there (as he never passes the ball) and starting Ward on the right with Sutcliffe or Achurch on the bench

Printer.
I think that's a bit harsh mate Wire got us into the grind and even with injuries they are a decent team to be fair and were always gonna be better than last week.
I think there are plenty of positives but also stacks to work on and improve.

Pretty good for a Leeds regular season performance. Hardaker and Briscoe superb. Peacock immense. Thought Ward looked good and sharp considering all that time out. Despite being on the wrong end of all the decisions in the second half, team kept discipline well, which isn't always the case. Other than that it was hard work and not much flair. McGuire had a bit of a shocker on attack, too many wrong decisions killing play.

Would agree with your summary apart from it being a poor performance.I think we were only a couple of simple passes away from making it a comfortable night, and although Wire had loads of ball on our line i cant recall all that many chances they really should have scored themselves.I would say 7/10 and a good result against a team who will still be right in the mix come the play offs.

Agree BT i counted 3 certain trys in the 1st half we bombed.
