TNW, O’Connor and Bentley very good. Fus and miller showed good flashes too. I don’t think too many wingers would score the try he did, and once he got going he was a handful on that edge.
I thought our ruck play sped up massively when Smith and Ackers went off. We got lots of other stuff right to help but I thought Jarrod was much more direct from 9.
Still some silly mistakes to cut out, but because of how Arthur has changed our approach, being off the pace a bit isn’t fatal like it was under Smith.
It was good to see us up the intensity in the second half to combat Catalans terrible tactics. I’d hate to have to watch them every week.
It’s such a shame that Fusitua has been injured for the majority of his Leeds career. I think there is a really good player in there somewhere. Happy for him to head off at the end of the season but it’s a ‘what could have been’ for me.
JOC for me was MoM. Line speed, aggression and dummy half play all outstanding. I’d get him signed up long term.
The most valuable person playing staff and management wise is Bradders . Never ever thought we could flog Wigan and beat the bully boys Catalan with the midget team we have. NRL coach what we should have had after Brian Mc better late than never. Back him and let him recruit what we need and we will prosper imo. I can see green shoots.

Great team performance - Arthur has started to instill some steel into that team.
Based on his few first team outings and the reserves game yesterday, the answer is defend, Johnson doesn’t seem up to the physicality. Interestingly for a spell in that game he went in the halves and Sinfield went at 9.

Thought we’d recruited Rohan Smith as attacking coach when I was watching that first half. After a really timid, clueless 80 minutes offensively against Wire we really looked like we were regressing. Good job we found a spark in that second half. We’re still in the fight, but based on the last two games, 40 minutes out of every 160 isn’t going to get us over the line. The plus side is Arthur has seen it with his own eyes, let’s trust he can get us firing better in the final third. The big plus is we didn’t appear to cop any more injuries. We’re gonna need every first choice player available in this last push.
