Fancy swapping him for Satae?

He was great for Hull yesterday. Best overseas prop in SL in my opinion. Out of contract at the end of 2023 I think. Hull should sign him up well in advance. Just shows that there are props out there.

Just watched the extended highlights.
Some excellent attacking play and great tries (regardless of poor opposition).
Myler was superb.
Sezer's best game for Leeds by a mile.
Sutcliffe really does look like a good centre!! (I know, feels strange saying it).
And Handleys finishing was excellent.
Back line starting to look really strong, with some strength in depth.
A couple of big props and who knows where we could end up.....

And he only played 15 1st grade games in the NRL.

Yep, someone like him would be ideal (x 2).

Not wanting to dampen the spirit as the performance was very good.
But the teams we have put to the sword such as Wire and now Hull (due to their injuries) have been 2 of the worse sides we have played this season.
If we can get a performance against Wigan and Catalans then I reckon we are moving in the right direction.
Sorry to bring the euphoria to a halt chaps.

I get your point and you are correct, however…

Fans of any team anywhere in the league against any opposition should enjoy a 62 - 16 point win, especially as we’ve been starved of performances like that for a few years

Absolutely Chris and I`m not wanting to take anything away from the win.
But I guess for me at least every time I think we have turned that corner I get disappointed the following week.
But yes 62 points in a SL game is a good achievement.

I was there and it was great to see us play a brand of Rugby that eclipsed anything we've seen since 2015 and frankly much of what we saw in the McDermott era. Am I europhic? No I am not. We'll lose at least as many games as we'll win from now to the end of the season. Any team with a heavyweight punch down the middle will cause us no end of trouble. Dumb (Holroyd) and dumber (Tetevano) haven't helped us in this regard. That being said, I've seen enough over these last few weeks to think that GH has finally delivered a top class coach. Couple of big men and following Leeds might not be such hard work next year.

Not really tested yesterday, but never noticed him being a poor defender?

I know Hull were hit by injuries but that was a real good performance and totally unexpected. I thought it would be low scoring and a tight game.. how wrong i was. You can clearly see the difference Smith is making. Get him the players he wants and we'll get back up there before too long.

Sezer's best game for a long time, he's looking fitter, if he stays injury free he'll do some damage. Myler was class linking up play and i though Zak went very well in the centre, he's doing really well imo, new deal is a must. Same for Martin, he's much much better in the back row. Satae is a good example of quality of props out there in the NRL that are under the radar but will do damage over here.
