Leeds v Panthers : Fri May 07, 2010 2:14 pm  

Good Luck to the Panthers tonight

Whatever happens the club can be proud of what they have achieved so far this season

I will be at Headingly hope a few more of you Panther fans make the journey to support the lads

I see we have Hobson / Keaveney / Ballard / Leather not playing so Leeds must feel more confident about that

Where did you get the team news from? Nowt on Panthers site or the Gazette.

Without Leather and Ballard who's playing full back?

Cracking first half performance...shame about the second- was somewhat suicidal having Forber and Miller next to each other in the defensive line down the left wing...

Quite amusing that MC had the cheek to play some of the fringe squad players, not that anyone would have noticed in the first half. Think the scoreline would have been within 20-30 if we had played all the first team.

Thought Ainscough looked good against better opposition, except the embarassing hand-off from Hall.

Saw Panthers for the first time this year at Leeds tonight and very impressed. Attack is incredibly inventive, defence was only let down by pace and fitness today which is understandable given the gulf in class. very impressed with Holland, No.18 and my MOM for Blackpool was No.11, think it was Haggerty. Absolutely supurb and all over the field. Thought he had scored to put Blackpool in front early on as well but was held short. Great team effort and i reckon leeds were genuinely worried at half time.

Me and my fellow cougar fan went and have to say how well you did especially 1st half you could have been level if you took chances and really rattled them.

2nd half was expected but most their tries were from sinfield crossfield kicks.

Good luck rest of season hope you get promoted as you deserve.

And would also like to add thanks for the appriciation of the team coming over to the Southstand and clapping the Rhinos supporters. Good luck for the rest of the seasons Guys

haggerty was very good. i thought he'd scored too! holland looked like he isn't quite ready for that level of opposition but he'll learn and grow, but wigan's decision to let him play in the cup for panthers was justified. felt sorry for miller having to play against such a strong fast opposition when he is trying to workmhis fitness back. happy for ratcliffe with his try and ainscough was outstanding, making senior play his age rather than his size!

Agreed with the above sentiments. Very proud of the lads for the effort put in and attacking skills showed. Good to see an appreciation from the Leeds crowd for the efforts too.

And I see that Leeds are selling official DVDs of the game per their website although the club shop is down at the mo so not sure of the cost.

Back to the real purpose of the season now. Bring on Gateshead

Great never say die attitude from your team last night against the SL Champions, nice to see everybody applauding the Blackpool team at the end of the game. Real good effort, well done Panthers.
