Interesting shout. I'd have just gone with O'Connor over Briscoe.

You're not sentimental enough.

Wakey running with 5 props tonight, will that give them an edge keeping momentum down the middle as we bring just Thompson on... I'm of the mind that we'd go better starting Smith and having Tet up against fifita when he comes on rather than our tiring 3. All the more reason the spine and 3/4 need to up their game.

Completely agree. I don’t understand why we keep putting Tet at 13 and start with 3 props. It’s absolutely bonkers, we never get on top of the other side pack anyway. Start with Smith or O’Connor at 13 and at least have some bang to bring on from the bench

Looking at their side tonight, if we cannot beat them we really are in trouble, Leeds by 16-20 points.

God knows why Briscoe is on the bench. Doesn't deserve to be in the 17 after the last few games

Lovely Gannon try

Looks like someone jumped in with their knees on Newman...

Happens too often that without being penalised. Great start.

Walker superb so far.
