Agree with all thats been said, Frawley looked way better too, probably his best game to date IMO. like the look of eseh, real shame we didn't get him, leeds fan too. amazing occasion and definitely a performance to match, new coach can come in and challenge now, just need some consistency in the team now we've seen they can do it, youngsters looked good too, Ned Mc is one to watch!

It doesn’t surprise me you being overly critical of him, you’ve expressed negativity about him on here on countless occasions.
Thats because people like you keep bigging him up into something he’s not. He gets plenty of game time and shows very little, and I’m not the only one who just isn’t getting it, i just don’t see what you are seeing in him,

Last night was an example of why I love the his game and why I love this club.
There were loads of different clubs fans around all there to pay respects to Rob and his amazing family.
Leigh were absolutely brilliant too, that flag they brought was the icing on an incredible supporting performance from them.
I have been critical of Leeds recently but since Robs far too early passing they have got every step correct. The respect shown and the ability to put on such a great tribute at such a time as this can only be applauded and appreciated.

I’d just echo the entire nights tribute. Seeing x80 former players come back for Rob shows what we as a club have forgotten. Listening to Buderus talking about his time here was also amazing to hear and is the level we need to get back to. Well worth a listen. The respect and love shown by everyone in the ground was incredibly moving, reduced me to tears on multiple occasions and the Geoff Burrow interview- wow, I was in floods.
Team wise - we were levels above where we found ourselves at Hull. A coherent game plan and the obvious defensive efforts we getting back to where we need to be. Plenty of positives to build off from and hopefully a quick appointment of a head coach can at least see us reach the playoffs.
Still missing a general to guide the team, why we didn’t kick the ball dead towards the end of the game to run down the clock instead poor speculators is a mystery and we got battered around the ruck on far too many occasions but as said previously it’s very much a game to build on, let’s hope we do.

That performance was exactly why I don't actually think the new coach has to change that much. Just attack and defend with more intensity and it solves a lot of our issues

We all don’t have to agree on everything, do we?
I didn’t see him at academy level, so wasn’t one of the ones bigging him up. I just like what I see. He’s got talent. A proper 9, but as you rightly question, not sure about attitude, state of mind, personal circumstances etc.
PS it was great to see loads of former players sat together at the back of the Carnegie. Sutty, Singo, Jimmy Kheinhorst etc

Last night, T 34 carries 15 130 meters
Stats tell a story to a point. Mik was visibly frustrated against Hull, hence the errors. Massively less so last night, hence the performance. Superb performance against a Leigh side massively better than Hull. I see what's in front of me.
