I'm surprised by a lot of people (not necessarily on here) predicting Leeds to finish 4th or 5th. As i said before it will take another season like last season outside Saints to allow us to sneak in.

Hull were ok today nothing special, but they didn't have to be did they. I'm sure they will improve and anywhere outside top 3 for them should be seen as a failure.

I disagree hull were very good and you do them a disservice IMO, a couple of inches more (ooo er) and we could have scored 3 trys, now I’m not saying we were good we weren’t but writing a team off after one game is daft

That's some pack Hull have got. Very impressive recruitment by them.

On Wednesday I had a complete shoulder reverse replacement operation, I would rather go through that again than watch a season of that. 54 years ago my dad first took me to headingley,I don't remember feeling so flat at the beginning of a season. Maybee that's age but maybee because that was sh1t3.

Agar is not under any pressure, he’s stepped in to give us some stability and wasn’t ever in the running for the job for a long term stint anyway.

Sinfield isn’t under pressure either, this is a 3-5 year rebuild due to the complete turd of a team he inherited, the length of their contracts, the age of the promising kids and the players available.

Agree with all of the above

Still 2 wingers short.

Handley is still an utter liability and cannot tackle for toffee.

I have just been sent a picture of that Handley bombed try at start. Don’t know how to post the picture, but in 40 years of watching this game I have honestly never seen any player, let alone a winger, fail to get over the line with so much space around and in front of him. It was utterly horrendous.

His second one in touch, any half average winger gets these days, and he failed. God job the one he got was handed on an absolute plate to him.

A static picture means absolutely nothing unless you’ve got a pre conceived opinion, i’ll watch the video and see, i’ll be turning it off after 15 minutes though

He is on the 10 yard line, 6 yards in from touch. The two Hull players are three yards to his right. Why oh why anyone would step to the right instead of the corner in that situation is anyone’s guess. It was utter embarrassment on his part.

Credit Agar on that at least, he’s recognised it.

I think Konrad Hurrell is proper crap.
