The difference is they didn't throw the towel in and fought back at the end.

If journeymen are better than your youth players are likely to get then you're better off with journeymen with the youth players to deputise for injuries and make the squad a bit bigger.

I would say that leeds' youth issues are because they haven't been as good at young player recruitment and scouting as they used to be. Or maybe that Saints, Wigan and even us have got better at that.

So you think Martin Centre,Mom Wing and Bentley / McDonnell back row then a bench of two props and two backrowers ?.

It's not a bad idea and it means a more experienced edge. Though I do think Martin is less effective there.

Bit of a Rumours/Looking forward to 2025 post. If reports are correct this could be our side in SL:

Jowitt (2026) Best player in the Championship IMO
Walmsley (2025) Got some bulking up to do but should be SL quality
Thornley (2025)
Pratt (2026)
Johnstone (TBA) According to non-bullshit news sources it's all agreed
Lino (2026)
?
Atoni (2025) Our Tom Amone - never seen a player improve so much after one pre-season
Hood (off contract) Just realised he's only 32. Читать дальше...

Cats will win by 50+ look at the size of the centres compare to the likes of Mcombe
I would take a Batley win. Think Fev V Leigh will be fev+26

I fancy Salford from scratch at 2/1 and for some bizarre reason I'm going to put them in a double with Hull who are 7/2

Personally think it was a good call and I don’t think it was Sneyd’s fault as the execution of the kick was outstanding.

I’m sure it was MacDonald and Nofauluma chasing, and they failed to communicate. 1 should have gone up for it the other hung back. Not only did they leave nobody home they also got in each others way that were it a 1 on 1 they should have been favourites for.

If they had gone long they are still defending the first tackle in their own half. Читать дальше...

True, its probably a 1 in 100 success rate, but most likely you are chasing the game that you would try that play

you are 2 points in front with 5 left on the clock is not the time for it, i think most would agree. Launch the bugger as far as you can, it was wet, so possibility of a Wigan knock on, plus we'd have been 40-50m away from Salfords line

What i did like though, was Rowley's post match interview. He knew they'd blown the win, but was also very... Читать дальше...

I think we'll definitely get a minimum of 2 years out of Sam, I wouldn't be surprised if he extended if he feels he has unfinished business. He is young and has plenty of time on his hands for an NRL return.

I think I'd prefer a slow start and a strong finish to the game, to the strong start before going out with a whimper.

However, based on last year's cup run, I think they should be well motivated. Execution in the moment will be key, they were only one pass away from a good win this stage last year.

I’ll stand by my statement.
Goalkickers rarely lose you a game, but they can occasionally win you one.

The percentage opportunity of kicks comes from tries and poor discipline.
And that is predominantly where games are won and lost.

We are not playing Rugby Union.

Happy with the contract extension for dufty. He's been fantastic so far this season.

With the signing of Rodwell meaning we have 8 Quota players and the rule being 7, is there any possibility of "pulling a Leigh" and try claim Isaiah Vagana played his junior rugby in Bradford whilst his dad was over here? Otherwise we're gonna be losing one of them. My money is on either Bain or Boothroyd though I wouldn't want to lose either.

We weren't using it when they calculated the score.

They are talking. Let's see how that works out. But we were in the middle of developing so didn't tick any of the boxes but they are adding to existing so easier to just make the threshold. If they do it right.

Plans schmans.

I don't think I'd put Rodwell straight in unless he looks like Gordon Tallis in training.
The back we have is good enough especially if Griffin in SR.

I'd give him time to settle and reward those playing well.
