I chucked it on Leeds 16-20, so we both lose. Soon as we lost Worthington on our Right, our winger had cried off late, we were wide open through that channel. I can only assume picking Smith before McNally was sentimental as he wasn't picked for the 5 games that won us promotion.

See you next season, prior to which we will have about 8 players arriving so should give you a better game.

Golding needs a big off season to get bigger and stronger. Hes got pace and is very elusive but doesnt understand how to use his footwork yet for example, and ive watched him a lot in 19s, he will beat 3 or 4 men with footwork but lose 10 yards in doing so. He certainly has a chance cos he has pace but next year or 2 will tell us how far he can go, if at all, when he has strengthened up fully.

Thought there was some positives tonight. Playing Moon in halves allows him to play inside Keinhorst and with Ward fit inside them there is the potential to be strong defensively on that left hand side of the pitch.Ferres Watkins and Briscoe make a strong right hand side too.

Segeyaro, whilst occassionly sloppy in his play, is a tremendous signing and an off season with him building understanding and timing should improve our ruck play big stylee.

Pleased young Wardy has come thru these 4 games healthy push the kid in pre-season and he will be a fantastic player for us. Fingers crossed he can stay fit now.

Thought Singo was good again tonight. He has his limitations but he gives it everything and is a tough lad.

As others have said we used the ball a bit more tonght as we did last 20 at Hudds and we are a far better team when we move it about.

This off season is an important one for us. There wont be many changes so the players we have need to improve and the team structure and play needs tonnes of work. Not getting carried away at all by tonight but we have something to build on.

Assuming not many personnel changes the first thing that needs to happen is to stop with the victim mentality that seems to have developed this year. I think we entered this season with senior players on autopilot due to last year's success and the general air of satisfaction that developed, combined with the loss of JP and Sinfield lowering expectations. Then as soon a things got tough the whining began - floods, injuries etc not being seen as obstacles to overcome but as excuses for playing awfully.

Without personnel changes I'm not sure why we'd expect to see a huge turnaround next year unless our attitude changes first.

Championes! Championes! Oley Oley Oley!

Another trophy for the cabinet



Why was this a trophy again? Risamn was a good player but he wasn't one the best to ever play for the club
Are they gonna invent a trophy for every M8s?

If we were gonna do something like that, then why not the Gary Schofield trophy with Hull?

I know he has just come back from injury but I really want to see Ward get his hands on the ball more. I still think he would make a top class 9 but ignoring that I would like to see him play like o'loughlin does for Wigan and get more involved, given he started a a 6 in the academy.

I don't think he can run games from loose forward like Sinfield did but he is definitely too skillful to be used as a workhorse type player

You are still missing the point badly. We have been poor all year, last night was one of the bright spots. The indiscipline of Leigh was called on here weeks ago by most Leeds fans. They came to bully as expected, we had younger players in, we stood up to it and moved with pace. The indiscipline was as a result of that, and we earned it.

I certainly don't see Leigh BEING a threat in SL next season unless they improve their discipline

...or the Keith Senior trophy when you play Giants.

Think about it.

Jesus Christ, it looked like the thing that ate Lee smith

Aye.... but perhaps the dumbest too

I expected Ward to have bulked up on his upper body with all the time he had off, if anything he looks more lightweight than ever.

Unlucky. I don't think we saw the Leigh of the last few weeks last night, maybe the occasion got to the players a little and Leeds played with far more intensity than i expected. Discipline is going to be a big thing the Leigh coaches have to hammer home pre season though, it will be a long season if you keep giving away dumb penalties and field position like last night whilst in SL. Good luck for next year.
