How can he leave out Jenkins for pantomime clown Lisone? Baffled. No attacking threat at all from Leeds. A poor game to watch. 


And we have not missed Cam Smith one bit. Watkins over him any day of the week. 


Watching the Wigan V Leigh game at the same time. Miles apart from the Leeds game. Attacking intent all over the pitch. 

Nice to edge a close game after a couple of near misses. Looked like we’d regressed in a couple of areas, especially the kick chase near their line, although Croft’s kicks certainly don’t help. Hull certainly had the best of the kicking contest. Thought Jenkins was very unlucky to miss out, Smith walking straight back into the team was a poor call from Arthur. As for the peasants on the South Stand terrace chanting the “C” word at Will Pryce……I bet The Gentry in the central seats above nearly choked on their Foie gras. Why did Hetherington ever think that having people from Alwoodley and Bramhope sitting so close to the citizens of Seacroft and Burley would be a good idea ?

I too thought Croft went ok for his first game back and having to play alongside Connor will take time.
Give Smith a couple more games and if he played like he did on Friday drop him and play Jenkins.
O`Connor too needs to improve yet he is being asked to play 80 minutes.
Sinfield unlucky to lose out but not sure he is our answer to the hooking role likewise Ackers.
Lisone much better and Watkins proving to be a very astute signing.
When is ECW due back? As he could/should be the answer to our RC superstar.

Got away with one there.
Really poor first half, too many errors, coughing up possession and poor kicking.
But we'll take it seeing as we got done late on by Wire.


I agree that Handley is working pretty well in the centre, we could just do with another of him on the wing.
Newman is a problem. Not sure where we go with him.
He isn't playing well and is still acting like a child.
But at the moment, we haven't got much else.


Miller is getting better, but why on earth is he kicking goals? He's terrible.
Connor is a much better goal kicker.
If we still had Martin, we would not have needed that final try.
It makes a big difference.


There's a lot to like about O'Connor, but we need a new 9.
A dynamic runner, probably from the NRL.
Jarrod's passing from DH is way too slow and erratic.And when he shoots out of the line to try and get a quick hit in, it very rarely works.
He did it a few times on Friday and it's not a good look.


And we have 3 OS quota players not playing (granted, ECW is injured, but I don't think he would be in the 17).
That's not good.
Shows really poor recruitment.
All the OS players should be guaranteed starters.
Really need to think about this for next year.


Tbf Jenkins was really unlucky not to be in the 17. He's been really good.
ECW will be replaced by Sivo.
Lisone should be replaced by a better impact prop.
Frawley should be replaced by a dynamic 9.

Before the season started it was clear that we needed a top line kicker. We're not scoring enough to have the luxury of going up in 4's for any length of time. 6's creates so much more scoreboard pressure - Wakefield yesterday being one very recent example. 

A poor performance to be honest and lucky to win.

It frustrates me when we die with the ball on the 5th and fail to offload it. Some of Croft's kicks were poor and gave our defence no chance.


I also don't like the lack of captaincy voice with the ref. We need a captain who talks to the referee more and questions why some calls are being made. 


I've always made excuses for Newman but he just isn't performing. Shame McCormack, Simpson and ECW aren't available. I really liked the look of McCormack and Simpson.


Finally JOC's passing is atrocious and probably put us on the back foot a lot of the game. Put Sinfield in ahead of him. He has a nice crisp pass at least.
