Johnson was really bossing the team about last night and organising them, think he enjoyed a more senior role. His game is not flashy but all about control and he needs a dominant pack like all 9s.

I actually think this Harvey Smith from Wakey would be a good complement for Johnson as he is pacier and more direct.

O’Connor looked better a little wider out but I don’t know what his position is still after years watching him.

It's catch 22 with both of them. O'Connor is a far better defensive player in the middle and that is extremely important. Equally his distribution can be very poor and Johnson’s tends to be far better. Neither has got much of a scoot. It's a puzzle.

Wakefield but near to Leeds!

Re: Castleford Friday : Sat Sep 23, 2023 11:30 am  
My oh my how bad were Cas tonight.
I`ve not been a fan of Johnson but he played really well tonight as did Fusitua.
Who got MoM?
I would have given it to Sinfield.
And I agree Cam Smith once he has a couple of decent halves to play with would be much better than trying to run the show on his own.
Great to see the team get back to winning ways but I reckon Stanningley would have pushed Cas close last night.

If CJ and Oconnor spend the preseason training improving their skills ( and hopefully we have someone to teach / improve that) I'm sure they can add to what they already do

O’Connor came through as a 13 in the academy although has played other positions as a junior I believe.

Johnson has put a bit of size on this season, if he improves again for me his distribution and game awareness is just better then JOC. I think Jarrod might end up in the back row again but he’ll be yet another Donaldson/Bentley/McDonnell type.

Now I did spot that Jarrod could play hooker early, and he can, but I don’t think he’s at the right level for Leeds as full time hooker - even though he kindof pushed Leeming out.

Was watching quite closely last night and so many balls from DH were at the receiver’s face or to the side, it stops their momentum, increases chances of errors and reduces their impact at the line.

Oh for sure, I just think both are young enough that some hard work will improve them no end.
Might not become world beaters but if Joc can boost his passing/ distribution abd CJ get a bit more of a scoot/ smart plays then the team will do much better

Sam Walters was MoM. I agree that Sinfield deserved it, and would have been my vote.

Sam had a decent game, but I got the feeling it was partially a farewell gift.
