Very very good defensive display. Leeds were certainly not 18 points worse than us - even if the scoreboard says so. The key moment for me was the Fusitua sin bin. I thought Ashton was offside. It was a penalty at most, not a yellow. IF that had been given we can wipe 12 points off our score. Leeds have made massive strides since Arthur came in and I was impressed. I thought Leeds had the better of the 1st half - apart from that awesome Tai shot on Miller. That was a really physical game. Dufty and Ashton took knocks. Very dogged tonight. Thewlis and Walker were excellent. Harrison took the ball in well and made some great tackles. Our defence won it. Looks good going forward.
Leeds will be a real handful next year if Arthur stays.

Powell and Walker, are two totally different styles, in playing the hooker role. But both are so vital in how Burgess wants, wire to play. The Walker break for Duftys try was, breathlessly for a player of Walkers running ability. He beat the defence with a glance of his eyes.
Leeds were a very tough team tonight & very motivated. Most probably tougher than playing Saints or Wigan. So a super win. Why anyone gets excited about Sky Commentary I cannot understand ... it is not important.

It's important to me that our side gets fair coverage on tv even if it is against the narrative
Great win as mentioned and Leeds provided a stern test. I thought they arguably had the edge in the ruck in that first half. Thewlis was terrific and has grown so much this season as has Tai. I thought Bateman, whilst not world beating, was certainly better tonight.
