Agreed. I thought Leeds were good; they nearly won with 12, and surely would have done so with 13.

As encouraging as it was, we do need to be better, more clinical and less penalty prone versus Leeds and moving onwards. I’m not worried and very much appreciate and understand this is a work in progress and a team in transition.

Leeds will be a huge test and a proper benchmark IMO. They looked well drilled v Warrington and bar the red card, Austin and Newman missing they’d probably have won that comfortably. They’re a team to be wary of this season so to get the win on Friday would be a superb result.

Definitely we need to be better. Our discipline at times in the first half was dire, way too many silly penalties. Leeds will be a huge threat this week, both teams have unknowns, plenty of new players in key positions. If it clicks, either team could be superb, and also either team could have a really off day given the numbers of new signings. Very intriguing.

Cut out the silly penalties and the 3 or 4 forward passes and we’ll be tough to beat in most games.

Should be a cracking game - looking forward to it (albeit I thought the same about Wigan HKR and that was a bit disappointing other than some very well taken tries).

Think the weather might spoil that - could be very stormy, not ideal for good rugby sadly.

Hopefully settled down by Friday. Forecast not too bad 26% chance of rain wind speed 16mph.

Don't know if it came across on TV, but it was rather windy at Craven Park on Friday, largely why Wigan weren't launching as many bombs in the 2nd half IMO

Yep, this is it. We looked really comfortable aside from the two points discussed above. We actually resembled a team with a clear direction what we were trying to do with the ball. So far, the displays are night and day compared to the last 3 years.

Agreed. We never looked uncomfortable and never really looked like needing to get out of 3rd gear. Leeds are a better side than KR this year and I think we will have a better idea of where we are as a team come 10:30 on Friday evening.

I am fairly confident to be honest.
