Leeds are two pre season games ahead, however seems we still have low handling skills.
First team has basically come off the pitch by 60 min.
Leeds look good.

10 min left but games basically done, kids aren't good enough to beat leeds.
Good run out for 60 minutes, errors still and issue for us, good use of dummy runners lots of room for improvement in Wigan wich is a positive.
Bullock looked good.
Can see our wingers this year being Marshall and Manfredi, Burgess was massively off sadly.

Continuing last season's bad habit of conceding tries in the last 30 seconds of each half.

Mitch Clarke was awful. Looked knackered after a minute and struggled to get back in to the defensive line. Bullock, Partington and Byrne all did a better job. Hastings organised things well. Marshall, Bibby, Hardaker and French all looked good as did our starting backrow of ISA, Fax and Lockers. Bourou added a bit of spark scooting from dummy half when he came on for Powell. Downside was knocks picked up by Club and Fax.

If Isa plays like he did today throughout the season he will shut up all but his most committed detractors.

Very good contest in the first half against a strong Leeds team. Gale should make all the difference for them this year if they can keep him fit. Marshall and Bibby were both impressive, Hasting did fine in his first outing. As said upthread, Burgess didn't see much ball, but made a costly error at the end, spilling the ball and gifting Leeds an easy score.
Glad I went, despite the fog!

Bibby has looked good.
Taken me 35 minutes to realise Mitch Clarke was on.
J Burgess hasnt had much ball but hasnt made much with what he has had (unlike Marshall who has made plenty of metres and breaks)
Hardaker is good at centre
French looks good at FB
Maybe that’s because he only came on with two minutes to go in the first half
