not according to the clowns on sky...wire started well but leeds have played quite well and if they score the next try wire may start to think about last week where they never scored a point and theyve not scored a point so far or words to that effect..for me wire were always in command with a lot much better to come..personally couldnt give a flying toss about leeds theyve rode their luck for some time....

"rode their luck", in what way?

Thought we had a touch of squeaky bum when Lee went for the drop goal!!

Leeds looked poor again ! But everytime i say that they get up off the canvas dust their selves down and come back stronger,

Dont know how long this current crop of Leeds stars have got left but their bubble will burst some time..

Hill and Carvell were immense tonight. Interesting that Morley was subbed when we needed to up the tempo in the pack in the second half. Those two look lke our lead props at the moment.

i agree, but i think that even if morley isn't going to churn out consistent performances at his top level like he's done over the past few years, he's still got one-off massive games in him

allow hill and carvell to take the lead roles but wheel adrian out to put the fear of god into the likes of crabtree and anyone wearing cherry and white hoops

to be fair no one can have a pop at this current leeds side..... its won a sh*t load of grand finals... last years being the most surprising... there is no way it will win another one though.... massive rebuilding job required at leeds....

totally agree.. and lets suppose sir adrian was up for sale there would still be a mad scramble from numerous sl clubs to sign him...still a top pro and great sl player

I am afraid to say we looked weaker when Morley came on. Shadow of his former legend self but the signs were there last year if we are being honest. Season too far. Carvell and Hill looked impressive. Blew them away first 20 mins then took foot of the gas and lost second half. Still a win is a win.

I was glad Briers took the DG and broke their spirits, showed we were not going to fall for the same mistake as last week.

This Thread seems to be turning into how did Adrian Morley play..

We didn t perform any better when he came on i thought we looked a bit more slugish when he came off the bench,but i really hope he can go out on a high this year we dont want Moz turning into Stuart Fielden do we??

No diagrams are drawn on a league table. We got two points. End of.

I was a little disappointed when our chosen one "poo-pooed" Briers' drop goal.
We weren't on the top of our game at the time, Briers used his head. Well done, Lee. Any butterflies we (may have) had, went in an instant. Had Leeds scored again (if Briers hadn't dropped the goal), sphincters would have been twitching.
