If they could bottle whatever it is, we could make a fortune.
Jowitt was talking about training being "fun" again so, who or what has changed.

Our pack has certainly been on top in the last few games and Fifita played his best game of the season last night (by some distance) and on the back of a more dominant pack, Miller too, had his best game of the season.

A definite change of mindset from the senior players. Many of the younger ones will always give 100%

Although he doesn't get much of a mention, young Bachelor also looks to be right on top of his game with or without the ball.

I have noticed a lot of "cross-over" plays with Reece, TJ, BJB, Bill et al on the opposite wing or middles.
That defo wasn't happening before the Shudds game.
Think Bill and BJB being back have made a difference and Senior was good last night - even if he did bomb that try.
Over on the Dirty Leeds forum, they are bemoaning the fact that "teams like Wakefield and others have a better 3/4 line than we do."
Diddums. Go and dry yer eyes.

Regardless of the recent upturn in form, I do think they will be down.

There are people who will have been laid off due to COVID19, maybe even some on here, and I would imagine it's very difficult job hunting in this current climate. People do have to cut they're cloth accordingly.

What CC, MC and JM need to do is identify where they need to strengthen, and just focus on that. I think in the past we may have been a bit guilty in getting someone in because they were available

Poor dirty Leeds (especially Ferris).
You have to love the commentary when Hampshire took a shoulder to the head, when they suggested, at first, that the ref was being picky.
If Hampshire doesn't bounce straight back to his feet, that's a red card.

There wasn't one of their players last night that I would have preferred in our 17, not one.

Leeming was a handful in the first 10 mins but apart from that, none

TBH, I dont think Ben Thaler saw it that well - he got instruction from the video ref - although it should have been advised as a red.

When was the last time we kept a SL team down to one try?

Re: Squad for Leeds : Fri Oct 30, 2020 9:49 pm  

Without wishing to be unnecessarily negative after 3 very enjoyable games, but reading posts about humble pie strikes me as a bit premature. I'm glad for Chester's sake on a human level that things have turned round the last 3 games but that doesn't mean that what went before didn't happen, nor that after 3 wins all of a sudden he's definitely the right man to take us forward and make big decisions that we can't afford to get wrong about recruitment for next year. The jury is still more than out in my opinion. There are still a lot of things that need addressing and things that baffle me. I'm still circumspect about where we actually are as a club under his tenure irrespective of the last 3 results

Re: Squad for Leeds : Fri Oct 30, 2020 10:24 pm  

Just because you eat a bit of humble pie does not mean you think things are fine .We all know if we lose our top players we will be struggling next year .We have got to wait and see .Think some fans will hang back on S T till they see who goes and who joins .But think you got to give a bit of credit for the way they have played the last3 games

Really?
I was rock bottom when we let Willie Poching go to Leeds but not renewing my ticket never entered my head. I can understand that some would not renew should we ever get relegated but not prior to yet another season at the top table, irrespective of our personnel.

Correct, how on earth does not buying ASAP a season ticket help anybody, it’s a twisted logic imho. Sure if it’s a money issue I get it or you’ve fallen out with the game but otherwise no.
