TODAYS GAME
Re: TODAYS GAME
I am surprised no one as mentioned the size of the pitch, when we have beaten sides at home how many times as it been mentioned we only won because of the size of our pitch , our pack completely dominated the Leeds pack reminiscent of years gone by when Denis Hartly and co were in their prime, play like that and we should fear no one, I for one cant wait for the saints game

Not sure how the Leeds fans would know. There weren’t any of them in the stadium by the time Ferres scored their consolation tryheritage1926 wrote:McShane once again was world class, the guy just controls games for fun, it's time we made him captain.
Foster's had some special games for us but I'm chuffed he's done it on a big stage like Newcastle, how on earth was he deemed not good enough for Bradford?!?!
But special mention to Wattsy tonight, he absolutely ran all over that Leeds pack single handedly, they couldn't even get close to him tonight.
My 3 stand out players.
P.s just had a look on Rlfans on the Leeds page and they're saying we were poor and we won't trouble the 3 teams from Lancashire, bring it on!!!

Re: TODAYS GAME
We've only got 3 players (albeit important ones ) missing and is Roberts really a huge miss with Trueman and Ellis ? So only Fake and Eden really .Bolton-tiger wrote:Makes me laugh how the commentators kept talking about leeds injury crisis but yet we have got it just as bad and yet we keep going with out moaning and do a job.fozzy played brilliant today hes turning out to be a cracking player

Re: TODAYS GAME
Forgot to mention Ellis,thought he controlled the game nicely.his kicking game put leeds under pressure.i always thought he was worth signing seeing that we didn't have a decent kicker.i really hope cas brings in a full back next year,they will really faf me off if they don't.

Re: TODAYS GAME
Foster outstanding.must be feeding him raw meat before the game
Re: TODAYS GAME
Fantastic day with a great performance.
Fozzy is a machine and has to be one if DP top bargin signings. Macca was fantastic as always and the halves did great too.
But big time credit to our forwards expecially watts who absolutely bossed there pack around and gave us a good platform to work with.
Also I thought Jy played well too, if he didn't take a quota spot up then I would definitely give him another year.

Re: TODAYS GAME
Forwards led the charge and laid the foundations (what a signing Watts is proving to be). Foster looked more comfortable left centre as opposed to the other side at Hull ans was my m.o.m.
Trueman certainly needs to be in a half back role as you could see his confidence grow. Leeds were thankfully shocking but i'm impressed with Jack Walker,some talent that kid.

The only thing that tainted the day slightly for me was seeing so many of their fans genuinely upset about the defeat.Bramley Tiger wrote:had a great day.best performance of the season.our forwards totally mullered theirs which helped completely control the game.couldn't fault anybody as every single player contributed.lets hope this is the start of some top rugby from us.
They are an intelligent, unbiased and friendly bunch and to see so many glum faces put a damper on things a bit.
The low point for them seemed to be when Junior took half their playing squad and the water carrier with him under the sticks just before the break. Reports suggest that many of their fans were on the outskirts of Wetherby before the final whistle.
Both sets of Widnes & Leeds fans are unhappy about having to play some of the bigger teams at Magic when others had easier fixtures.

Re: TODAYS GAME
To be honest, I think most of the matchups this weekend are pretty even. The only potential mismatch to me was Widnes v Saints and Widnes put up a good show. Leeds are the Champions and we have had that pushed down our throats since last October. Surely they were the ‘big team’ yesterday. If their fans cleared off that early they aren’t really fans in my book
Re: TODAYS GAME
Yeah they beat us in the big one but for there fans to watch game after game cas take them apart must be hard to bear this time with a attack thats being misfiring all season

Re: TODAYS GAME
we parked at heworth metro as it is easy to get out of the centre and I was with my two sons,and my wife and daughter(who spent the day shopping) on the metro train after the game.everything was ok until we got off at heworth and we swore at and called all sorts of names from leeds fans who had remained on the train.i really couldn't understand the nastiness though they didn't say anything whilst we were on it.SuffolkTiger wrote:The only thing that tainted the day slightly for me was seeing so many of their fans genuinely upset about the defeat.Bramley Tiger wrote:had a great day.best performance of the season.our forwards totally mullered theirs which helped completely control the game.couldn't fault anybody as every single player contributed.lets hope this is the start of some top rugby from us.

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.
