If he drew and passed that would he have scored? i think so..

half time verdict , must do better , im hoping our fitness will tell in last 20 - like the look of delaney

McLennan out!

This is a joke, 100% Mclennan out! Beaten in the first game. Wooden spoon this season and doubt we will win a game all year.

bad call by ref, leeds knocked that on first.

not a night for basketball rugby

Come on Leeds, put them under pressure!

thank god for that

brett delaney looks a good singing

Great effort by the Crusaders.

Bit one-sided refereeing at the end of the second half, but take nothing away from the Crusaders effort, I think they may come above Salford this season.

Are you a tiny bit worried about this performance?

dirty crusaders

Not now Buderus is on the field and we're actually moving the ball out of acting-half.

20 mins this week
increase play by 20 mins a week and we should be ready for Elland Road

conditions have been a big leveller but leeds have show their superior skill and fitness in the last 20. Delaney and eastwood both look good signings. cant wait to see them both on a dry fast track


oh and kudos to crusaders they look a decent well organised team. I hope this display bring the north welshians back even when theyre playing the smaller teams who wont bring as big away support .... like saints

Well done lads.

Backed you on minus 24!

Really thought id done my money.

It seemed obvious that as soon as we opened up we looked like a totally different side. We were playing within ourselves for most of the match. But all credit to the crusaders their defense was excellent for 65 mins. Also the last try should not have been given.

Silverwood is the man you want to thank. I think he must have had the same bet as you. Dear me.

I had Leeds -20, much more sensible

Plus the other one which was a knock-on.

The mcguire one? It was an offload which hit a crusaders player, not a knock on!

Really enjoyed the last fifteen minutes of the match. They’ll be no end in sight to this Leeds dominance in super league this year IMO. We could go unbeaten. But I’m not betting against it again with Oldham because I had to donate a 50p tip in star bucks the other year.

But yeah no end in sight!

I'll stand by what I said over 12 months ago. Eastwood is a fat waste of a contract. His first real contribution after almost 30 minutes was to give the ball away. Watch again, where was he for his first spell on the pitch?

Give him a chance, I think I'll take the views of the international coaches over you though thanks.

oh yeah totally brickin it.

first game of the season away from home, in the snow and freezing conditions, against a team that has nothing to lose and is fired up. who's coach makes playing leeds their biggest game of the season every season whichever club he's at and we score 6 tries and keep the opposition to 1 try nilling them in the second half, without peacock, webb and burgess. we did better than the first game of last season.

we have the points, our season is up and running.
