One of the trys was from Bailey & someone else's missed tackle that ended up with baileys sub and shirt throwing strop.
Everyone expects Jamie Lyon to return to Scousers when his Manly contract expires. I thought that maybe Leeds would be interested when Senior retires, but now I'm not too sure.
When he signed last time, he used Scousers to earn a contract back in the NRL, and it worked. I can see him back there when he wants a final couple of seasons on big money for little effort.....with tips from Matt King.
I'm still looking forward to seeing Smith at centre. Not too sure about Ablett being there long term, he's more 2nd row, but the Academy lads are the future!!
The season starts in October. Until then, don't panic!

The tackle was missed in the middle and Leeds' right hand side defence failed to deal with the break. Meanwhile the other two scores went straight down that side and all three came at a time when Leeds had a full compliment on the field (which was the comment I was replying to.)
Leeds' problems on the right were highlighted last season and Watkins hasn't provided the answer to them and at 17 I wasn't expecting him to.

That is why you weren't Hape. I did and couldn't stop smiling all night.
Quote:Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.

Too injury prone, too old, and not English.
No thanks

Ablett isn't the long term answer for .He's ok going forward but his defence at times is awful.
