Very good shifts for Farrell, Isa and Bateman. In fact, surprised no one has really talked about Farrell in terms of man of the match when he's made 48 tackles and 152 metres in a game that was all about the arm wrestle. Not sure how long they played, but Tautai and Navarette's stats are underwhelming.

Faz has looked back to his old self this season. In 2017 he seemed to lose the plot at times, was overly-aggressive and gave away a lot of penalties (it was about 3 times as many has he concenced n 2016). He's playing really well again now and he's not giving away the penalties.

I noted at the game Navarette was really blowing towards the end of his spell and he went off after about 18 minutes I think and didn’t come back on IIRC.

Not sure if he’d picked up a knock. His fitness looks much improved this year but with still a way to go.

Still a "bit" to go to get back to his best IMO but certainly he's much improved.

What I will say though is bear in mind the rib injury he had that he as out for 4/5 months with.
It was a real nasty one and imo may have contributed somewhat to his dip in form or any kind of statistical analysis of performance.

That scrout bag twisting Golding ankle and only got 10 minutes. Your coach and team are a cheating disgrace.

No charge!

With Tautai being off form, he's got a great opportunity to take his spot, but I've not really seen him do much to justify that.

Isa really is an unsung hero for you guys. Really puts it about in a controlled aggressive manner can see why Wane likes him

When he’s on the field I’ve been impressed but he still doesn’t look fit enough to do any spells of longer then 10-15 mins. He looks ‘fitter’ but still not as fit as he needs to be which is a worry. His impact whilst on has been good with a good average carry and his work in defence looks good (and aggressive) but he needs to keep working hard.

The less said about Tautai’s ‘form’ the better. He’s hardly had a good spell in the last 12 months after the ink dried on his new deal and even a spell out of the team didn’t look to shake him in to action at Leeds. He made 25m from 5 carries in the game and when you have a lad like him who isn’t a workhorse in defence, it’s tough to defend his displays.
