At the very least, we should be top on alphabetical order!

At the very least, we should be top on alphabetical order! I came to make the same point we should be there for an away win
But I'm happy with the start

What made me laugh was when the sky sports commentator was summing up Leeds performance and said "It doesn't get any easier... They've got tough games coming up against Wigan, Salford and St Helens"
These pundits and commentators do my head in.... Are we now a top 4 club all of a sudden? It was only a couple of days ago they all put us on death row!

Salford still top on the Superleague website.
London beat Wakey tomorrow and it could be 1st vs 2nd next week.

Lots of positives from the game and (as Watto said )areas for improvement which is a good combination. I was concerned with the loss of Koppy and Tasi at the end of the season but the new ,improved, seemingly fixed after shoulder injury Moose combined with the irrepressible drives of Dudson ( my MOM ) gives us a great starting couple of props , as good as any in the league. They both put in superb stints on Friday night. Jones’ was a barnstorming peformance - every time he gets the ball he seems to want to repeat his try at Hudds from a couple of years ago. Giffin didn’t drop the ball ...... i’ve always liked ball playing backrowers- we all know Flash’s quality in that regard , but Burke showed a really good pair of hands on Friday and Turgut is a great find ; plenty of hard work in defence and slots easily into centre when needed.......dare I say if Junior’s out for a week or two with a rib injury then Turgut could replace him ....... We all know Hastings is class , but what I really like is his organisational ability; he’s constantly barking orders and moving players around .... this is meant to free up Lui , however although Rob didn’t have a bad game he seemed to think he could take the line on himself too much in my opinion , when distributing the ball might have been more effective. Evalds - masterclass . Olpherts is improving - we all groaned when he knocked on from the drop out , but he seemed more confident under the high ball and he seems genuinely passionate about the club . Ken Sio already has his own fans’ anthem and I look forward to hearing it a lot this year ! Away support was as ever brilliant and vocal and I really think the players do feed off that . Main concern- can anyone locate Steve Blakeley’s boots......and drop them off at the AJ Bell next Sunday ?!

Good analysis Dr Mike. That’s the first time I can remember for ages that our attacking fluency didn’t drop when Flanagan went off. Burke’s passing in the middle was spot on Our left side was fearsome at the start with Jones, Sau and Sio. It’s no wonder that’s where the gaps were found in the last quarter, their defence was battered. Sau going off injured saw Jones going over to the right and Griffin on that side but we never missed a beat. It was a really patient display. We could/should have been further ahead at half time but we just kept wearing them down and took advantage as they tired.

I've had a bet with a Wigan fan we'll finish above them. Totally unimpressed with them and their coach. He looked like a fan on Friday and his general demeanour was similar. They have dropped a massive baylock getting him in.

I think it'd be first v third if the timing wasn't wrong.
The matches on Sky have all been good and in general it has been as interesting as the label said it would be.
London did Wakey over and maybe they are not a surprise anymore.
TWP looked poorer under the new coach but York's defence was outstanding.
SRD looked very good and that's what matters.
