Full match commentary on today's game on Yorkshire radio. Live from Headingley from 11am.

Details of how to listen below

Should have a new slogan. If its not Yorkshire Radio then its not worth listening to. I’ll be choosing you over BBC Leeds next year if it means I don’t have to listen what’s happening outside this county.

I've chosen to never listen to them for the way they have treated Leeds United coverage on Radio Leeds. In fact i'd rather drink my own !

Match report here on the club site: www.therhinos.co.uk/rugby/9460.php Sounds like a good hit out. I couldn't get there despite having a ticket due to terrible black ice on my road. Had I known about the delayed kick off I might just have made it. It would be great to hear comments from anyone who went.

One of the more entertaining Boxing Day friendlies of recent years. Despite the fact that the pitch was narrowed at both sides which led to our three-quarters sometimes either throwing the ball into touch or running into touch (apparantly due to Carnegie choosing to do so and presumably the groundstaff having more important things to do than repaint the touchlines), we played some entertaining Rugby.

Jones-Bishop had a good game at full back, Webb and Burrow were at their usual best and I thought Kyle Amor had a great debut in a Rhinos shirt.

Decent crowd as well today. Just under 8,800 especially given the Western Terrace wasn't in use.

Ablett had a slight injury but hopefully nothing too serious.

Thought Burgess had a very good game too.
Agree with the Jones Bishop,Amor and Webb choices.
Burrow improved his game after half time.
Who played 15 for us?
Davey played well for Wakey.

cheers for that.
Yes agree with the comment re the high tackle incident.
No malice in it though just bad timing.
Thought the forwards played very well.

I thought manning was pretty lucky also but there were other incidents that went unpunished so maybe not as surprising as we initially thought. I enjoyed today and thought we did ok overall and scored some well worked tries.

BJB will be a future star for the rhinos, the kids all class. In my opinion you don't need Brent Webb anymore BJB could easily step up to your first team and who knows how good he would be given a long run of games in which to find his feet.

Equally it's about time Kalum Watkins started to force Brian Maclennans hand!

Both have very bright futures imo but to just disregard Webb before Bjb has even played more than a handfull of SL games would a big mistake and one i don't expect the coaching staff to make.
As for Watkins he'll get more opportunities this season and again i don't expect any rash decisions to be made in this case either.

I thought Amor did very well for his first game.Ran hard and off loaded well.

Bluey's comments on the game here: www.therhinos.co.uk/news/9461.php Let's hope none of the injuries are serious, well most of them anyway.

Watkins desperately needs more games, because he is not improving. His defending was again woeful today, especially with that Luke George try. Needs to be playing more regularly to see if he really is worth the praise.

Didn't think Mcshane and Ambler took their chances today either, both IMO not excelling.

Thought BJB was terrific, along with Worrall. Burrow held the team together well, and great stints from Kylie and Amor, although I see Burgess got MOM which suprised me somewhat.

For me burgess was the big stand out he was absolutely immense today, jones-bishop was very good also, although he still has alot to learn he's going well in the right direction! I also was very impressed with Kyle amors impact, also thought manning did pretty well, our pack definately had plenty of punch and power! Also thought liam hood did well intherchanging with mcshane at hooker! Overall we played some done stuff today, and can take plenty of positives away from it, also found it very ammusing that when burgess went over the wakey fans turned to where I was stood and said it's only our acadamy your beating!! Haha

you wouldn't think so for a few of their fans at the side of me, one kept calling him a muppet

if that's their home support they can keep um

I disagree re-Ambler i thought he tackled well and put himself about.
As for mcshane lets not forget how long he's been injured and it was only huis first game back so don't be so harsh it was only friendly!!
Watkins will come good imo and again i think yer being a bit harsh.

Just wanted to say a massive thanks to the Rhinos fan who gave my car a push to get it off the ice after the game just off St Michael's Lane.

Was made to feel v welcome in South Stand even though I'm a Wakey fan and all credit to your club and fans for getting the pitch ready on time. Not only that but can't believe you'd already got a match report on your site by half time!

Altogether a great Headingley experience - thanks!

I don't remember a minute's silence being a part of the Boxing Day game but I thought the bugler was a nice touch and the silence was impeccably observed (but given the losses of both clubs recently, I would have expected nothing less).

I agree I to thought ambler was decent, tackled well and put himself about, I also agree that kallum watkins will come good he is only 18 and had great strength, but I also see where gotcha's coming from in he's only gonna maximise his potential by playing more games but I feel they'll come in due course!
Obviously the standard of quality we look at is different we look at watkins and we know he's a star in the making potenially, where as Wakefield fans class murphy as great prospect, but IMO because I can't speak for all Leeds fans but he's a ten a penny full back! Trout who was number 16 for wakey today looked a good player he ran well!

Also he hasn't trained fully for the last 2 weeks either, I Cannot believe people are questioning our youngsters on the basis of their first hit out of the season....

Oooooh watch it peeps. McShanes knight in shining armour is prowling the boards.

I hope some of our home-grown guys make it through to a regular first team spot. It has got a bit worrying how the production-line has dried up a little recently, but we were lucky to have a crop of outstanding youngsters coming through a few years ago. If BJB has got what it takes to make it there is a golden oportunity to claim our no.1 jersey in a season or two, now that Smithy has turned to the dark side. I hope Burgess makes it too, as he is not far from being an ideal replacement for Kylie.

What more do you want from Burgess?

The production line is fine. We don't need 6 or 7 to come through like the beginning of the decade. BJB and Watkins look very, very exciting prospects.l
