Taylor-Rae absolutely superb tonight, how on earth we missed out on an east Leeds lad I’ll never know.

Do like the look of Mcewan-Peters though.

Warrington too big and powerful, but we were poor, one of the worst scholarship performances under Butterills tenure for 60 mins imo, last 20 was ok. Defence was awful at times, thought it would be tough tonight, but dissapointed none the less.

Mcewan peters, Butterfield and Cassell impressed me. A few u15's showed some nice touches.

Warrington signing a highly rated youngster from this side of the pennines? i think we all know how we've missed out

Leeds' opinion of Taylor-Rae is lower than peoples on here tbh.

McEwan-Peters is a powerful lad but hes very raw at this stage. Hes got to stay away from the touchline. The left edge of the 16s of him, McCormack, Qare-Qare and Taylor looks dangerous at times but they are continually working on short side plays and have not enough room.

16s was poor tonight again but was better than the game at Saints. Theyve a lot of work to do thats for sure. They look a poor outfit but when youre signing players on amateur deals what do you expect?

As a matter of interest what type of deals were the U16s and U18s on before the cut backs and introduction of amateur terms? I guess the likes of Wigan Saints Warrington are still offering some sort of payment?

Good win for reserves tonight 36-32 over a much more experienced KR team. Did well nearly let it slip at the end but pleased with that.

6 x u18s in the team. Really good.

Excellent win, when you consider Rovers had two overseas international players with over a couple of hundred NRL games.

There full backline was all experienced players who have all played SL. Probably nearly 500 first grade experience in that Rovers side.

Looking at the report on the Rhinos official site it would appear Hull KR scored 8 tries without any conversions

They missed their 1st 4 kicks then kicked 2 and hit post with last one. We kicked 6 from 6. Leeds was 36-16 up with around 10 to go and was hanging on at the end. Really good game to be fair.
