That Leeming one's a step too far for the game in my opinion in terms of if it receives a ban. He's hit and wrapped his upper chest and the tackled players head comes down with the impact. Fusitu’a was dumb with how those decisions are going.

Started with the thermostat at hot and gradually turned it down to stone cold.
Very composed at the start but thought we almost started trying to close the game down after 20 minutes. Austin kicking early in the tackle count when we had a 7 tackle set was particularly bizarre to me. Agree with others, Sezer injected momentum. As the game went on we got more static and line speed in attack and defence slowed significantly.
Important win but plenty to work on.
Not a great view in the rain and with not the best floodlights, but the Leeming one looked fine to me, what did Smith do?

Helped bring a player to ground in a tackle by wrapping both his legs around the players lower legs

Jake Connor got a red card at Wakefield and a one match ban, for making contact lower down the chest than Leeming’s hit. I’d be surprised if he didn’t get a ban for that.

He didnt at all. His right leg and foot was planted at all times. He held the Wakey player around the chest, leaned back and weighted him to ground, his left leg going under the player. Not even sure why it went on report. It wasnt dangerous, or a hip-drop. It was just unfortunate. And if it attracts a ban its ridiculous.

I think we played more as a team tonight. Certainly in the 1st half. We looked sharp at times with plenty of ball movement and a decent kicking game. Walker and Newman was big positives for me.

That said, i think Wakey put big efforts in against Saints and Catalans and couldnt repeat it tonight. That happens, it happened to us at Wigan after the Warrington effort. Wakey lacked intensity in that 1st half and we was ready to play tonight.

We needed a win and got it sealed after 25 mins tonight which was pleasing. Some of the tries was excellent tonight.

The 2nd half was patchy but with a 30-0 lead that can happen. The game was over.

Weve a lot to work on still but tonight was a step on the right path. Id like to see us offload in the tackle. Its not something we do.

Its one win, we need to back that up with wins v Hull and Salford in the next 2.

So by agars interview it was Harry's hamstring and not a dead leg. Expect at least another 3 weeks out

Be a real shame if so cos he was looking good for 1st game back and is badly needed. Fingers crossed he isnt too bad.
