I agree he just doesn't have the frame for a prop.

He puts himself about and he is capable of scoring good tries too.

Prop? Probably not. We have Mik, Prior, Holroyd, Tetevano as first choice next year. If they stay fit / not suspended we are pretty good (although I’d still like a big horrible wrecking ball). Any absentees and we look light.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Muizz ends up signing somewhere else for 2022. As a squad player though he does have something to offer were we to retain him.

I am even more convinced after watching last night that we need another King+ prop who can get their nose through the defensive line.

Muizz is a fantastic kid and at academy level was absolutely fantastic to watch, loved him. He will have a decent career somewhere. He can do a Donaldson type job for someone im sure

Thought he went ok last night actually his contact was good. His long term future wont be at Leeds tho i dont think. Wish he was 6 inches taller.

Hes a lad i will always root for tho. One of my all time academy favourites. A modern day Norman Francis.

Good old Norman. For years and years and yet more years our academy/youth system used to throw up players the youthfull Clues thought would be world beaters. I give you the Macintosh brothers, Gavin Brown and Marcus Vass for starters. On a different subject, does anybody recall the last time we won at Wigan twice in a season? Not sure it's even been done, and fixtures being what they we must have had to travel twice on more than a few occasions.

Really enjoyable game that.
Great result and a pretty cohesive team performance.
Thought Lui was superb. His hands won us the game in the first half. Such a shame he's pretty shot.
Said it before, but I think Cam Smith makes a real difference to our shape. Thought he was excellent as well. Involved in everything.
I really hope he starts and Agar doesn't start Tet and drop Smith to the bench.
Newman is a pure athlete and will be a superstar.
Holroyd went really well too. Some really strong carries. Just hope we don't burn him out at a young age.
Which is why we need another prop. Thompson isn't the answer.
I've also said before, Luke Briscoe is playing really well. I'd keep him. I don't see any point letting him go and then having to try to find another winger.
I also think that Muizz won't make it at Leeds. He looks game, but simply doesn't have the size to make it at the very top level. Would be happy to be proved wrong though.

Absolutely, he's come a long way through the years and it's a huge credit to him. I've seen him come through the age groups having coached against him when he was at Hunslet for many years and he really jumped up a level around the 16s. Likewise, even a couple of inches would make a difference (no innuendo intended). Hope he does carve out a career.

Good result and performance to finish off a good regular season all things considered. Happy with how we'v done.

Thought Leeming was excellent last night, was heavily involved in a lot of the things we did well.

Leeming has been great all season, arguably our player of the year , and tipped for Dream Team. Don’t know why people bag him, he’s getting better and still only 25. He could be the best hooker in league for next 5-6 years

Thought he looked good last night, not overly concerned by his lack of size/height, he could still fill out wider and stronger, still young, could do another full year on loan, Fev or another Super League club regular rugby over next year or so well tell us more. I would not right him off yet. And size us over rated luck at Sam Walters 6’7” and Soft Mitch achurch mark 2, id start Muiz over him to be fair.
