Re: TODAYS GAME
Outstanding clinical and professional performance. To be honest, Leeds need to be embarrassed by their pack because that was well short of top 6 Super League standard. That said, I don’t have any sympathy for them. I’m glad to see us as the best side in Yorkshire at the moment, and GF aside, they can’t seem to undo us.
Barring a 10 min spell or so, that was the nearest we have probably got to an 80 minute performance this season (Catalans aside, but they were awful so I’m not sure that’s hard).
I thought that Foster and McShane were excellent. The latter really put us on the front foot aided by some great work by the forwards. I love Watts but he needs to play sensible rugby. Some crazy, stupid offloads in the first half.
The forwards set us that platform and Leeds couldn’t get a foothold. Backs took advantage and I really thought the Shenton and Trueman link play bore fruit.

Re: TODAYS GAME
Superb yesterday; couldn't fault anyone. McShane - wow. He keeps getting better, which is hard to believe. Outstanding performance. Foster is turning out to be bargain of the century. Word for Milner too - excellent again.
It's a long time since I've seen our pack batter a team like we did yesterday. Our backs were the focal point last season, now it's our forwards - thanks in part to the extra firepower Watts brings.
As Powell said after the game, we're a very dangerous team. Finish top four and anything can happen.

Re: TODAYS GAME
Watched game back about 10 times today. Fosters performance just gets better everytime. For 2019, Trueman and Gale have to be our starting halfs, Gale should be mentoring the life out of him from now till the start of next season. He looked a well established super league player last night.

Re: TODAYS GAME
I agree. Just posted similar on the Tom Holmes thread. It's interesting to watch a re-run and see Trueman's growing maturity and influence. If George Williams had replicated Jake's performance, the pundits would have been full of him.heritage1926 wrote:Watched game back about 10 times today.

Re: TODAYS GAME
George Williams is one of the most robotic moving players I've seen for years, never plays what's in front of him and always looks like he's playing totally on instinct which is never good for team mates. Young Danny Richardson at Saints and Trueman are England's future prospects in the halves, along with Jake Connor.cogito ergo sum wrote:I agree. Just posted similar on the Tom Holmes thread.

Couldn't fault the team at all and I hope this will be the springboard to another GF appearance...

Re: TODAYS GAME
was a important game for the two points sat regarding top four finish. wigan and saints for the top two for me but if we can perform like that every week going into second half off season get more luck with injury's win are two games in hand . then can see us sneaking third giving us a away semi at wigan much better then saints away . :dance: :dance:

Re: TODAYS GAME
Watkins out for rest of the year now with an ACL, that's Leeds season over IMO. Between us, Wire and Hull for 3rd and 4th.
