Very good point made by Roche.

How did he play?

He was v good according to Mick. Unsurprisingly.

Totally agree

Shock news: "Player who looks good at Championship level looks very good against 17 year old kids"

Oledski played for our 19s?

So we have him back at least?

Leeds under 19s

Oh no then. Lets get him back. He's a destroyer.

It's a strange decision by Leeds, imo.

I mean, fine - he's their player and they must choose how best to bring him on, but I thought that the idea he had gone as far as possible in the U19s was implicit in the original decision they made to send him to the Bulls to play at open-age championship level. What puzzles me is why they took him back to play U19s - it seems pointless, imo, unless they are super keen to win the U19s and regard us as a big threat.

They didn't take him back to play U19s. They took him back because they had Ormondroyd, JJB & Galloway injured, and Singleton had just picked up a 6 match ban. Add to that Garbutt and another (I forget which) were doubts as to whether they'd be fit for the next game, they were starting to get very short of props. So Oledzki was recalled and named in their 19 man squad. As it happened, the two doubts were ok to play so they didn't need him in the end.
With Galloway, Ormondroyd & Singleton still unavailable, they maybe don't want to risk losing his for a guaranteed month again, so he can play 19s for a bit until they have numbers back, at which point I wouldn't be surprised if he came back to Bradford.
Whilst they think there's a chance they may need him, they're not going to want him to be gone for a month, and I can't say I really blame them for that. It's just one of those things we have to live with if we're going to rely on loans.

All of this is true, but doesn't explain why he didn't just go to Fev on dual reg this weekend instead.

I agree, that is a slightly odd call.

How good was Murray today? Some great runs. Stepped it up with Mik back at Leeds. In the running for man of the match.

Couldn't agree more, just when our pack was getting beat up a little he took them on and got us going forward again - some useful line breaks and a good turn of pace

He had an absolute storming game this afternoon. Leading by example and bullied the Rams forwards during that second half. Hopefully nobody from Salford was watching today's game.

I want to see them both together in this kind of form. Magrin not doing bad either. Kirk showing up well too.

Murray was pants, I'd be looking to send him on loan for the season if I was Salford. Can't catch, can't tackle but I think we can turn him around given a season under Toovey.

Couldn't agree more.

Absolutely. He was garbage today. Couldn't bust his way out of a paper bag. He would be rubbish in Super League. The Salford board need to know that he needs a full season in championship to even start to get up to speed.

Our fairy godfather will look after us and leave him with us for the season

Yeah - whisper it quietly.....the lad was immense, will be some player. Best on the pitch by a country mile.

Yeah, agree with that, he's come on leaps and bounds since he's been here. A definite case of loans working out for all parties; loaner, club taking loan and loaned player.

Permanent full season loans will be the best bet for all concerned re Murray, Oled, Lilley. Next season will be too.

Been very impressed with Murray. Putting some graft in.

Regarding Oledzki. I think the reason Leeds didn't dual-reg him with Fev is because i think they are planning on loaning him back to us once they get a couple of players back.

Notice Delaney is back for Leeds on Friday, another body back for them, fingers crossed Oledzki can come back soon.
