What's Pittsy done to upset you

But just makes the point.

Nobody has mentioned this but Sezer looks a good signing for Leeds but to me Austin looked a player well past his best. I realise it’s only a friendly and he will have some games left in him but I’m not Leeds haven’t signed a dud.

So did Myler all be it a rye one, he knew he’d been totally cleaned out.

Good to get to the game today.
Thought the young lads were great for us today. Harry Bowes doing well in the middle.
Getting game time under their belts will have done no harm whatsoever, and these are the games where they will gain experience.
Thought Cory Halls one on one tackle while defending near to our line was a belter.
And agree with other posters about Yusuf Aydin tough and uncompromising and is heading towards a regular first team spot with the more he plays.
I’m sure the lads getting a trial will have been been on Pochings radar and decisions will be made over the coming weeks.
Plus no injuries (unless I missed something) which is a bonus.

That break near his own line was nothing short of embarrassing

That was the most obvious but it was one of many. I think he’s totally lost his pace, a big part of his game.

I thought Gaskell was our stand-out player, certainly in the first half, despite the two kick-outs on the full but was also impressed with Ashurst who put some big hits in and Crowther's bell-ringer on Myler will certainly make that little twit think twice about running at him again in future

My only issue with Gaskell was that he tried to hard he seems the silly mistakes, he was too wound up. But I see that as a positive, looks like he wants to impress.
He’s a versatile player why people don’t see him as an asset is a mystery to me.

Yep agree with that Vasty and if you cast your mind back to Fifita's first game that's exactly what he did...tried too hard to impress and he hasn't turned out too bad
