Was that the first game this season that Gids, Ratch and Sandow played together?

I don't think Ratchford is poor under bombs. He does sometimes get in a mess with the bouncing ball. So for that matter does Russell, whose diminutive stature sometimes causes him an issue.

Both players' best positions are full-back - an annoying fact, but a fact nonetheless. Ratchford was superb in that position the other night.

For me, best players on the night were Hill, Sims, Ratch, Currie and the two hookers. A little shout-out for Lineham too who showed he wanted to be there and got some decent work done.

No. Catalans Dragons (Dodds injured)away 12th March. Ratchford on the bench. Unsure if all 3 were on the pitch at the same time.

It's the first time we've had ratxh at full back, with gids n sandow in the halves.

Personally I think a lot if people on here, myself included like to make statements in players in too small a sample of games, yes ratch wasn't brilliant last year, but he was injured from the first game at hull, and the whole team was disinterested.

He was never as bad as people made out, it's just many people use the adage, you're only as good a your last game.

Well we have two games now where the teams play a pretty structured '5 drives and a good kick' type football. It will be interesting to see how Ratchford gets on with his positioning at FB, and then his returns - I think he will have more demanding kicks to field, and a swifter defensive line than against Leeds. Perhaps the fact we had another two pivots on the field also allowed us to cause havoc in the Leeds defence ?

Lots of positives last night!
No matter how many times they showed the replay I'm still not sure how Gidley got "that" pass out, in fact not sure how the ball got to the wing.

The sky replay misses it I think, and I missed it at the time, but a video on a well known site has it shot from a mobile in the leeds end; it shows it head on.
What a pass... shame the commentators were lamenting Leeds' plight rather than focusing on a great try.

A brilliant piece of rugby league that Eddie is still oblivious to.
My local never has the sound on for a Sky game because if we want to hear a load of shoite we can always go to the pub down the road that has the soccer on.
