I'm not getting carried away at all after beating London: from the run of games we've had this season IMO Smith has done enough to justify a bit more patience from the fans. It hasn't been great, it hasn't been as bad as some are making out, and I'm genuinely interested to see if we see a reaction or improvement against the better teams. Either way I think its time for the fans to just back the team a bit more...




Not quite sure what Smith has done to justify more patience from the fans ?

Liked JOC starting and Ackers coming on after, that seemed to work well.

Oledski unsung hero today, he played nice and direct, lots of work in D too, am guessing his stats will look good.

Croft is integral to anything positive we might do this year - hope he isn't injured and is fit for the next 2 games, we need him.

Bit worried about our size against Cats next week. Also on the wings Handley still isn't fit I'll guarantee - ribs are notoriously difficult injuries to heal from.


Yeah agree with that Jim. Fingers crossed for Croft. That would be seismic if he’s out

I could have picked a team from the old Leeds and district league to beat London. But that’s not our fault that London are sub standard. Enjoyed the match ,Miller had an excellent game ,he looks to be a real find. Smith started to pass the ball to good effect instead of sticking up his jumper. Good all round performance from all the squad. Nice to see Sinfield senior up in the stand, his son showed some nice touches. Sadly the injury jinx strikes again, last few seasons we have had some dreadful luck. Unless things dramatically change we will have a threadbare squad for next week’s game.

I am a loyal fan, have been well before super league and the golden generation. I Pay my money, if I see garbage on the field and from the coaching staff I will certainly call it out. Most games this season have been poor, coupled with a coach that’s out of his depth. Whatever the outcome of this season I will be supporting Leeds next season and hopefully the season after that. I wouldn’t place much emphasis on Millers comments, it’s the tried and tested response from all professional sports men/women when the manager is under pressure. Usually because the manager/coach is picking the team and the players livelihood depends on that. If another coach comes in you can bet Miller would soon be singing his praises.

So, we beat The Brassmoulders “A” team. I’ve never seen a team where all the players are the same body shape and equally as slow. The props could have swapped with the wingers and the scrum half could have played second row. It’s hard to glean anything against such poor opposition, but overall it’s a lesson that the physically dominant team will always beat weaker, slower opponents. It was good to see Smith has obviously realised that it’s pointless being an honest team in a dishonest sport, and has finally introduced the forward pass into our armoury. A useful tool, but best employed when players hit the line at speed beyond the passer. I don’t think we will have the intensity to use it against the better teams unfortunately.

Really poor London team, but that's not our fault.
It was an OK performance, but under no pressure for the most part.
Miller needed that game, he's been poor lately. Hopefully he can do the same against better opposition.
Lisone was good again. He's exactly what you need after 20-25 mins. A few direct runs and it saps the opposition.
Someone suggested he should start. Not for me. He's ideal coming off the bench. We need another one like him.
Croft showed some class, but again hope he can do it against the better teams.
O'Connor, Smith and McDonnell all good as well.
And Jack looks ready. Should keep his place. Hopefully we can work something out with Frawley at the end of the season as it hasn't worked out.

I think we can probably write off the next 2 games and get some bodies back for the very winnable 4 games after that.

A decent performance against a poor team.
Handley shows what we are missing with his pace and bringing the ball out of defence.
Miller still playing 7 a side rugby but was one of our top performers along with several others.
Personally I thought Ackers was not far off MoM.
Sinfield must keep his place and I wouldn`t be surprised to see Frawley alongside him next week if Croft is ruled out.
Decent crowd considering how bad we have been playing.

Agree with all that, slight reservation regarding Sinfield next week , it’s going to be a bit physical. Would prefer Frawley, hopefully Croft will be fit, maybe have Sinfield on the bench see how the game unfolds. Loved the Handley try from the Miller break, Handley came like a rocket from way back. He really has blossomed into top notch winger.

Thought Jack went well and he should keep his place. In fairness I suspect Frawley would have gone a lot better against last nights opposition. We'll find out a lot more about his progression next week. Just good to go to HQ and see a comfortable win. 13k in attendance is testament to the ongoing loyalty of the core support.
