A couple of those Leigh forwards are exactly what we could do with. Big powerful and hard working

Credit to Leeds and Sky Sports for putting on a great tribute to Rob.

Croft was unplayable at times, leading by example and certainly should be considered for captain.

Really impressed with McCormack, should be putting pressure on the other centres going forward.

McCormack looked decent against Warrington as well, I don't quite understand why it took so long to bring him in again given the injury situation.

I'd have McCormack as 3rd choice centre or winger, albeit Max Simpson, Jack Smith and Riley Lumb are also competing for these positions.

I'm a supporter of Newman but McCormack particularly in defence had a very strong game.

We look to have a couple of very talented backs in Lumb and McCormack in particular

Littlewood looks a big lad. I hope he gets a chance against London.

I've given up predicting too much around academy lads but with McCormack, Lumb, Edgell, Smith, Simpson coming through in the backs, and Littlewood, TNW, Oladipupo, Cassell, Lloyd and some others in the pack, we really do have some good prospects.

You watch Leeds in this game and my overriding feeling was that we look like a side which needs evolution rather than revolution again... but let's be honest, Leigh did roll us through a fair bit of the game, and we only won through some superhuman goal line D and individual brilliance from Croft. I reckon we lose that game in a normal league fixture, and that's just where our squad is currently.

I agree. but it was the manner they played. no passive stuff, no miracle plays.
they gave it to the leigh forwards, albeit they ran out of steam, understandably.

They did revert to type at points during that game by letting Leigh run riot and backing off / being too passive but I would hope that was due to fatigue rather than tactics.

Im looking forward to whoever comes in to consign that tactic to the bin first up.

RS was only out the door 48 hours before this performance, and Chev said in the presser they didn't have chance to change much.

They cut out most of the errors which really helped, and they were more direct - one thing I did notice was using the bigger men out of yardage, which has been annoying me for months. Having said that, look at the carries Edgell made.

Our line speed got poor in the second half again I thought and Leigh were rolling us.

I don't think we can use the Leigh game as much evidence of transformation without RS, although I get the agenda on here. We won the game well but we were still far from perfect. I thought the selection was really brave putting McCormack and Edgell together outside Frawley, that could have gone either way but credit to Chev.

I think where I'm at is that Leeds should be a top-6 side this season with the team we have, but we have been misfiring. Changing the coach, if we bring the right one in, could improve our performances but we'll need better luck with injuries too. I don't think this squad is good enough to take the title no matter who coaches us.

We need both a better coach AND a few top quality new signings to bridge that gap between us and the top of the table. Hopefully we will do both.
