Child was really poor, but no surprises there, his ego knows no bounds. But Hicks is the best ref in Super League for last year, so an unfair comparison.

It was a massively patched up Catalan side. But saying that, it was the best rugby we have played in SL excluding middle 8's for a year.

Just supprised on scoreline

Didnt look massively patched up to me.But then again I did think that Gigot left a big hole for them.Perhaps Inu's head shots could have helped.

Good performance ,I am happy they came up with the goods after last week.

Some great performances last night, especially from Keinhorst and Golding but the Frenchies were poor to say the least.



I still wonder why Walters gets a shirt, he removes any 'zing' that we have going forward and has the retiring speed of a supertanker.



But Child...???? How the Hell he can be called a SL standard ref confuses me.

Hicks and Thaler are the best of a bad bunch for me, but they suffer from inconsistency, whereas Child is consistently bad!

Brian McDermott is the saviour.



How bad are Warrington and St Helens!



We're nailed on for top 4.

Hold your horses.This is something to build on.Not sure we are GF material on one performance just yet.

Cheers for the review. How did Watkins play if we were shifting the ball wide early, I've not heard his name mentioned yet. Hopefully he can return to previous years form given the opportunity.



Obviously I wasn't there last night, but a score line like that didn't seem achievable last season. Especially considering we had ward Jjb Galloway ferres etc out. So to win like that and be 3 wins from five to me is definitely improvement on last season. I felt last season anything but our starting 17 would struggle with no hope to cope with any injury.

Watkins was OK, looked to be a bit more involved, and early ball seemed to help. He was involved (with Mags) in the bad Miss for the Williame try.



Was impressed with Sutty in the back row, it's going to be really hard to fit everyone in when fit.

Fair enough, i would never contemplate slitting of the wrists over rugby though, if i did i would have died long before SL started





I will give credit where credit is due and to bounce back in that style against an unbeaten team with such pressure on deserves a big pat on the for all concerned. Still, big tests to come in the next 4-6 games in which we will have a better idea of where we are actually at.

Are we getting back to 2015 in attack and defence yet?



Like you hinted at a couple of weeks ago?



Given the off-season and pre-season absence of SPOTY, the Kiwis and floods of course

How was baldwinson?

Massively patched up? Didn't look far off to me, bar a couple of names.

Who was missing?

I can't speyk.

Hang on Gotcha, how can you be at a game and logged into RLFans at the same time?

Some kind of shenanigans or have you caught up with the rest of the free world and realised you can actually do both?



Really hope that both Parcell and Cuthbertson can stay fit through the summer, they're going to rip most teams apart.

No he didn't, as has been pointed out to you and others on multiple threads by multiple posters, but don't let that stop you will you...

He never does

Didn't say 2015 defence, but for the 4th time out of 5 it kept the opposition down to a very low score especially considering we spent near 20 minutes with 12 men.



The attack is making small strides towards attacking like they did in 2015, like I said back then patience is needed until it happens but last night was more like it.

It's shaping up to be really interesting season, what with the struggles of St helens and warrington along with the awesomeness of cas. There's always shocks at this stage of the season so it's difficult to know the context of some of our results. St's result looked respectable but they've not won a game since, leigh result looked really poor but they are thrashing everyone else at home so far, etc etc.



It's good to be winning a few games though isn't it? Remember last season, what round were we in before we got above 6 points? I remember before the start of the season thinking that after last season i'd be happy just to be nestled comfortably in the top 8 without the threat of relegation. I'm sure that will change if it looks like we can compete for the grand final.

The most enjoyable Leeds game to watch in 18 months. With Wakefield and Huddersfield next two games the team should have some confidence ahead of the game against Wigan.

I have always done both. But I actually attend, unlike some, and don't just pretend.

Maybe, maybe not but he 100% definitely didn't on this occasion.

The bottom is looking interesting and there could be another 'surprise' name in the bottom 4 at the end of the season. Some of the expected bottom teams have looked ok, Salford for one and Leigh's home form Gould give them a chance of avoiding the Middle 8's. Yes they've been comfortably beaten away but they were both against the current top two who are well in form so maybe not all lost in regards to getting wins away from Leigh.



Hudds have taken a couple of beatings in a row now and next 3 weeks they have Wigan and Cas AWAY with us at their place inbetween. Can't see them doing anything in those away games so that match vs us is vital for them otherwise they'll be well behind.
