Why the slating of Morley?

He's been out for god knows how many weeks and is getting himself back into the team. One of the best props super league has seen, if not rugby league in general and because he isn't destroying opposition front rows on his own he's all of a sudden an easy target to slate.

Get a grip.

Compared to Peacock, Morley was on fire, how many times did Peacock get hammered by our lads!

If he looks beaten, what on earth does Ian Kirke look like?

What`s so funny about a clash of heads and a potential serious facial injury?
You were doing well with your previous post and I was about to agree with you.
Leeds were totally clueless and will continue to be whilst Sinfield thinks he is a stand off.
You played very well in the first half and I don`t for one minute think you eased off in the second half.
We decided to move the ball instead of playing one man rugby and watching your lot run through us at ease.
Well done on the win and bagging the 2 points.

yeah mate, not really cricket laughing at a bloke who's had his face smashed in

if there can be one small comfort for kirke it's that whatever has happened to his face he's still going to be better looking than benny

hope it's not serious

Brilliant opening 30 minutes, electric at times at back to our very best. Then Leeds started to compete (As they should. they're the Champions) to make it a decent arm wrestle. The drop goal, regardless of what TS thought, was the right play at that point in time although we were never in any danger of losing the game. Completely dominant performance in very poor conditions.

I don't think anyone is slating Morley. The observations were that our 'go forward' diminished when Carvell and Hill went off. In previous seasons that has happened when Moz left the field. To be fair, he is just returning from injury and I still expect him to play a huge part in our season.

benny shouldve smashed bailey and ablett instead of Kirk

Leeds were gash just like last week and Warrington blew them off the park in the first 20 mins. I was impressed with Warrington's line speed and defence in this spell and Leeds looked clueless. The game was won then and I would say a combination of the weather, Warrington easing off let Leeds come back a little when I didnt think warrington looked that great but the game was won anyway. Leeds really are poor though and I cant see McDermott lasting much longer, he looks a beaten man.

Agree with that last line. He looked desperate last night when Eddie was interviewing him after the match.

In answer to the original question, it was an 8/10 performance for me. 10/10 for the first half hour, then free-wheeled from there on in.

After last week, we should really consider our low error count a positive response. The emphasis was on control of the possession and we absolutely achieved that early on, never let Leeds get a foothold. If there was a disappointment it was the second half kicking game, it was as poor in the second half as it was good in the first.

Even a team in as poor form as Leeds are will pose a threat on wet night with Rob Burrow in the team, and in the second half they improved their performance. We won't win every game inside the first half so we need to keep working at the things we did well last night so that we deliver for 80 minutes when we have to.

Top players for me were Briers, O'Brien, Riley in the backs, Waterhouse, Westwood, Hill and Carvell in the forwards.
