Yeah, I reckon that's the way Agar will go too. At least Broadbent put himself into serious contention today though. It can only benefit Leeds moving forward.

If Handley and Gale miss out do you reckon Eastmond and Myler at HB with Broadbent to FB and L.Briscoe on the wing?

Either that or Myler to FB, Boradbent to Centre, Sutcliffe and Eastmond in the halves two Bisoces on the wings. Agar mention Ash has trained a lot at full back in pre season.

Looks like Handley out for a month or so. Medial injury to the knee. Scan tomorrow. Doesn’t sound good

Shame about Handley, looked real nasty at the time, hopefully not too serious. Thats the risk of these games unfortunately.

Look like the Briscoe brothers on the wings early season.

Excellent last 20 minutes.
Lots of errors in first half and plenty of rustiness, but some glimpses of good stuff.
Broadbent MoM for me. Looks a class act. Should be given a chance at FB.
Totally burned Magillvray for the try.
Really impressed with King as well. Some big carries and shots.
Needs to protect the ball better and needs more fitness, but he’ll go well.
Whoever said he doesn’t look big enough for the front row has got him confused with someone else! He’s a unit.
Impressed with the 10 minute cameo from Edwards and Gannon as well, but doubt they’ll get much game time tbh.

Agree with all points although i thought King looked very raw but good go forward but needs to work on ball control.Far too early to for Edwards and Gannon but look good prospects.

Very unlucky the way his leg got caught underneath him - could have been much worse though

How long before Newman returns?

Thought it was very positive overall, and you'd have thought we would be happier than Hudds in terms of the team we put out.

Broadbent looks the real deal, and seems ready for Superleague. I actually thought Dwyer made a massive difference when he came on. Leeming needs a big year to earn a new deal IMO. I think he's solid without setting the world alight.

King looks good to me. Unsurprising that he's a bit raw, but he's powerful. New conditions and having not played for a long time go a way in explaining the ball control issues.

It's nice seeing a Leeds team show a bit of aggression, it's not been a big part of our game since Peacock/Ablett left, and I think we need it when playing the likes of Wigan/Saints.

After the match agar described kings pre season as scratchy.I assume he meant he joined the club late.Does anyone know why he also said the same about thompson?
