A big thank you to @jayforeman.bsky.social and @markcooperjones.bsky.social at the Map Men signing this evening in Leeds. My son Malcolm really enjoyed meeting you and getting his book signed. He’s read chapter 6 multiple times.

Difficult loss to take. Thought the game was even and both teams had chances to win. Leeds compounding errors and discipline invited KR back into the game. KR just had that X factor to get them over the line. Both red cards harsh. Even so, still feel confident.

Big game for Leeds. A real test of how far they have come under BA, or how far they still have to go. Leeds +4

Nice to bump into Chris from the @lotpod.bsky.social on the way in.

Another good win against a struggling side. Played out as I expected. Huddersfield resilient in the first half. Held Leeds up over the line three times. Went through the gears in the second and took the game away. Bigger test versus KR on Friday!

Good Friday Game Day!
Tricky one to call. On paper and on recent form it’s an easy win for Leeds. Huddersfield, like Salford are in dire straits. But this is rivals round and just the game for Huddersfield to turn it around. That said, I’m going Leeds +32.

Strongest possible line up with given injuries. Say what you will about Frawley but he plays the way BA wants him too. Should give Conner more freedom.

Can’t help but feel for Salford. Devastated by departures and uncertainty. However, they have a habit of rallying so Leeds can’t be complacent. Leeds +24

Disappointing end to the game. Felt Leeds were the better team throughout. Discipline and ref blunders the difference. That said, good teams win in adversity whether that’s injuries, opposition, or officiating. Need to smash Salford next week, if they exist…

On balance I thought Leeds were the better side and the stats support that assessment. Still too many errors in poor positions inviting pressure. A gritty performance from both teams with a bit of everything. Good for the neutral, anxiety inducing for me.

Very soggy HQ. Both teams missing key players. Both teams coming off a CC exit. Going to be interesting. Leeds by 4.

Respectable score in the end (22-14) but between 40-60 minutes tackling was optional for Leeds and Saints took advantage. Time to focus on the league and turn a very good 60 minutes into 80.

Terrific first half from both teams. Saints lead on the score board (marginally) but Leeds the dominant side. Going to be a fascinating second half. Leeds need to cut out the errors again and turn pressure into point.

The dust has settled on last nights abject disappointment. Looking back over the stats, only 1 Leeds player made over 100m vs Catalans 3. Leeds forwards hardly made a dent. Errors were even but it’s where and when they were made that made the difference. BA has some hard choices ahead. #SLCatLee

Simply awful from start to finish. Unable to build any pressure. Failed to convert two changes in the first half. Errors and penalties at critical moments cost us. Hopefully that’s the poor performance out of the way ready for Saints next weekend. #SLCatLee #superleague #rugbyleague

Low quality affair in the South of France. Too many unforced errors from both teams. Senior players struggling. Leeds marginally on top. Impressed with Ethan Clark-Wood. #SLCatLee #superleague #rugbyleague

Can’t help but feel deflated leaving Headingley today. Yes Leeds won, and convincingly in the end, but we collapsed in the final 15. Better teams would have closed that game out. Bentley was my MotM. #SLLeeCas #superleague #rugbyleague

Stats from Leeds Wakefield are pretty even. However Wakefield ran harder (+77 post contact meters) and kicked better (+122 kick meters). Biggest worry for BA will be the 62% completion rate. Positives for Leeds, fewer missed tackles, more tackle busts and more PTB in opp 20. #superleague #SLLeeWak
