A game of 2 halfs.

I'm OK with that. They only really got a look in when we changed the team around.
Law and Croft on the wings and Franco at fullback was a bit fragile, but nows the told to give them the practise.

Thought Bowden was good and I quite like Lawford.
Griffin, Thornley, Walmsley and Franco when on the wing all looked good.
Jowitt was very good too.
Couldn't always pick out the forwards but defense in first half was excellent and ball movement was pretty slick.

I thought Griffin was poor and wouldnt be surprised if it was him that opened the floodgates with that loose pass although it looked like Ashurst.

I thought the interception pass came from Hood but I did miss the start of the second half.

Griffin first half was very solid in the SR , Griffin second half at centre is far too slow now.

It was hood.

Pick of the forwards was Bowden, he looked a real handful, Atoni did big minutes, nothing spectacular, Uele just needs minutes but looks a big lad. Lawford had some nice touches, but Jowitt was head and shoulders above, showed a clean pair to dust Miller to score and his overall attack was class. Although he didn’t really get a lot of ball I thought Pratt looked really dangerous with ball in hand and opened them up a good few times, I was impressed with his defence also. Overall I’m fairly happy, second half when the changes rang Ackers just had a field day for 10 mins where as in the 1st half he was fairly quiet.

I will probably watch a re run once I get home as I missed the last three Leeds scores.

I didn't get that at all.
He was very dangerous in first half. Moved him out of position in second.

Despite the second half collapse, plenty to take from it. Lawford looked class and some very good defensive reads by Pratt. The lack of cover at full back after Max went off, looked obvious to see
