plus a good old ding dong at the end with Cross.

Cracking result that. 32-0 and Leeds bombed a lot of chances! Ben Cross having a bit of biff at the end. This years SL in going to be won on defence and the signs are good so far.

So have we still got to be worried? After we got 'tonked' by Featherstone we we're going to get smashed by Bulls at Cardiff...ya know the team that getting 'tonked' by the average Keighley Cougars.

Same here mate we were awful in that department under Bluey tbh.

We we're and McD said it was going to be one of the first things he'll stamp out. It is the little things he should be looking at in these games including dissent.

to be fair leeds were okay to good the crusaders were poor with a few line breaks and only challenged the line on a handful of times. a cold night at Wrecsam -4 and a crowd of 1616



The crusaders were missing that little sparkle to unlock a defense ( gareth thomas was resting but hiding under a hooded top no sign in and around the bench of Jarred sammut) and the postional play of some players often left Leeds with overlaps. The crowd got behind the crusaders and you can see they are trying to make a go of it, but again no shirt sponsor ( or it could have been a new strip ) would not help the clubs finances.



leeds put out all first teamers but it did take a while to score with a great line by Keith then two tries in the corner by Ryan ( even with strapping on his thigh, Kevs kicking was off but he found his range with his third kick, danny B passes out of dummy half were very flat yet no forward passes in the game even the one that went 5 yds forward from Paul Johnson. carl ablett gave away a few penalties early doors for lying on which we got pinged for a few times as well as holding down and not letting the player up quicker but after a shaky first 20 mins Ablett played well



The second half saw us play better and the off load count increased with us bombing tries, great line breaks and support and a great last ditch tackle on webby but after 20 mins of the second half we started scoring and kevins kicking boots worked. Kylie put a big hit in and Ben cross tried to audtion for the next david haye fight but his windmills missed the mark. yje tries By bjb were well taken a great future awaits



Weller reckons his visa issue will be sorted in the next few days with JJB JP and danny mac and will be back for the sunny weather the feeling is we will have a bright future if we cut the penalties and take the off loads we will score plenty. I just hope the way the Lying on at the tackle is policed like tonight it will help the fast teams.



MOM kevin s but you could pick anyone no one played bad but i would mark Danny b down for coming out for the second half with a blanket wrapped around his legs





Ref 6 out 10 a steady game missed a few forward passes and waived back to 6 when a player turned his back on a kick

Cheers for the write up Jake!

Thats our pre-season kit, if a player fits into a shirt, then thats his number.

We hope to have this seasons kit soon.

Sammut was there, he came across the pitch before kick off.

Didn't go to the game so thanks for your overview. Nice to see.

Quite excited about Ben Jones-Bishops participation in these games, done well over pre season and looking forward to seeing him in the squad.



BTW, BJB, Clarkson, McShane, Kirke, Watkins and Pitts will all double up on Sunday, providing the game gets the go ahead.

That's a good summary you've posted there
