And I didn't pull my pud at the match the other night either.

any side would look weak when down to 12 with the manly players running the lines they were

Were Leeds down to 12 men when Manly scored three tries in seven minutes just after the start of the second half all down Leeds' right hand side?

One of the trys was from Bailey & someone else's missed tackle that ended up with baileys sub and shirt throwing strop.

Everyone expects Jamie Lyon to return to Scousers when his Manly contract expires. I thought that maybe Leeds would be interested when Senior retires, but now I'm not too sure.

When he signed last time, he used Scousers to earn a contract back in the NRL, and it worked. I can see him back there when he wants a final couple of seasons on big money for little effort.....with tips from Matt King.

I'm still looking forward to seeing Smith at centre. Not too sure about Ablett being there long term, he's more 2nd row, but the Academy lads are the future!!

The tackle was missed in the middle and Leeds' right hand side defence failed to deal with the break. Meanwhile the other two scores went straight down that side and all three came at a time when Leeds had a full compliment on the field (which was the comment I was replying to.)

Leeds' problems on the right were highlighted last season and Watkins hasn't provided the answer to them and at 17 I wasn't expecting him to.

That is why you weren't Hape. I did and couldn't stop smiling all night.

Hi - was at the game - noticed Hape sat with Buderus & Sam Burgess a few rows above me - is he not playing at Bath at the moment & would he solve our 'centre' problem even if its just for a year or so whilst Watkins gets more experience?

Too injury prone, too old, and not English.

No thanks

Ablett isn't the long term answer for .He's ok going forward but his defence at times is awful.
