If we could keep these 2 for a month or so it would make a massive difference. Ruan didn't do much wrong but as the player with most recent first team experience at Leeds was a bit underwhelming.
You got the feeling today that right from the start the players were more confident; all of them running in much harder, than at any time this season - and how good was it to have 2 half's who terrified the opposition with their running threat. Finn has got a difficult decision next week with the Widdop/JWH at fullback situation - but I dearly hope he's seen that barring injuries he shouldn't split up what I still think on their day is the best half back pairing in the league.
Fully agree with this, Keyes, Joufrett & Widdop at 7,6 & 1 looked much better than Keyes, Widdop & Joufrett at 7,6 & 1.
Whilst most of us would agree JWH is one of the best fullbacks in the division playing him at centre with his pace and strength could give a better size and strike that position and a better balance from who we’ve got.
