Great performance and as one who initially wanted Jowitt at FB I am really pleased to see Hampshire playing well there! long may that continue.
I always thought if we turned up in the right frame of mind we'd beat them, but to do it so emphatically and with such lovely rugby to watch was the icing on the cake!
Roll on the next match!

Great result, England missing through Ilness didn’t disrupt, a dominating pack, Leeds last 2 tries showed our biggest weakness ,, but game was won done and dusted by then,,,

To cap a great night was made even better when Danny B , king smashed that horrible grub ferres about when few Leeds players spat their dummy’s out at end, nothing like bit of biff to show shirt means something,, we have a great run of fixtures now, to exploit and maybe put in foundations of another great season ,,, well done Trinity !!

Don't buy that, happens all the time, I've seen us do it a lot. Leeds gained that last flourish of the back of Kendalls whistle, rightly or wrongly take your pick. Down to 12 men and the game lost Leeds could chance their arm, we on the other hand had done our job and at that point nobody was to bothered about last ditch tackles etc. As you know 12 men are often quite difficult to play against so again no big deal for me.

I actually take it as a positive that with 10 minutes to go I suspect the lads were already thinking about next week.

I'm an England fan and hes been great so far this season and you know I didn't even notice he was missing - hows that for strength in depth. All the same hope he gets well soon. Gave Hirst the chance to have his best game yet imho so a silver lining.

Good points Vasty.
I thought the lads were taking it easy in the last 10mins and I was OK with it - a bit of saving energy etc.
I am an England fan - his workrate is excellent - and I totally forgot he was missing!
With you on Hirsty too - thought he and all the subs did well.

Yes i was a little disappointed we didnt score more.

At 35-10 with about 10 to go, we looked to have another couple of tries in us.

Maybe at times we just pushed it a bit too much.

On to next week

True, we didn't place the boot on the throat, we just kept giving the ball away in the last 10.
50 was very possible.
Its not a massive issue but its where the likes of Cas and Saints build big scores.
In the context of just winning the game, it doesn't matter, but in the wider context its about maintaining focus no matter what, for the entire 80.
Its much easier to do when you are used to doing it, if you're not sometimes its not there when you need it.
Its by no means a complaint, just an observation.

Managed to get in from wheldon road and watch the game without knowing the score (kind of) so watched on record. What a show. The score massively flattered Leeds. Bill Tupou could well have finished kallum Watkins. Think it was vastman who made a point of certain Leeds players having huge reputation especially their oversees players but in reality are they actually that good ? Tupou or Hurrell? Fifita or Merrin? Miller or that fat lad they played full back? I know who I'd rather have in my side week in week out.

The brand of rugby you lot play makes it a joy to watch when you're in full flight. Could we argue that the salary cap plays a part? Once upon a time the likes of wakey / Cas would only beat the favoured sides if they had a bad night and wakey / Cas had the rub of the green.

I've said it before about these big reputation Overseas players, while still decent players they just aren't hungry for it anymore. After playing at the top in the NRL they don't seem top be able to replicate it our league especially when they know they won't return to the NRL. They command a an high salary on name alone. Give me a younger hungry NRL reject with everything to prove any-day.
