No but I’ve seen enough of Leeming to know he has a lot of work he needs to do on his game……

Yet he was still easily the best of the 4 english hookers on the field yesterday.

Always my biggest fear for this game. We now likely head away to play saints, hull , Cas , Wigan at home and Catalan and Toulouse away with 2 props.

An injury to Mik and the Season is wobbling again and could go off the rails pretty quickly .

Hanley said he could have come back on but he didn't want to wreck him. Hopefully it's not a long term job. The criminal failure to recruit props combined with Holroyd's moment of madness, is biting us in the backside.

Fair play. Will Wane pick him over his old mate Mic Mac though?

Can’t argue with that. Think I agree a negative opinion of Leeming because if the shocking last play choices he was making under Agar, but may have been coaching. Let’s see if he maintains some form….

Probably not no.

Struggling to accept that a 34 year old McIlorum is Englands first choice hooker.Although the best no 9 in the league is nearly 37 so not sure what that says about the rest. I think Leeming deserves a chance.
