Very, very impressed with Leeds. Once they got a roll on in the 2nd half & started playing at such a high tempo it's difficult to stop that momentum. Any side in SL would struggle to stop that momentum as you're always on the back foot.



The worrying thing for Hull was how easy Leeds got that momentum & go forward at the start of the second half.

Have Leeds come out of the blocks to quickly? Will it be there in Oct?



Watkins was shown how average he is in the recent internationals. OK with the ball in hand, dreadful in a structured defence.

Ran away from Widnes and HKR late on.....not even come close to an 80 mins.....still plenty to come and the new structure/playoff format means no room for 'saving something'

There is a certain culture that has been hanging around the club for many a year, until this is completely eradicated you can sign whoever you want, you just wont get it done.
