Is it true she burnt her bridges at Leeds ?

You have summed it up perfectly, Jodie C even said in an interview a few days ago that Shona H-H will be playing prop at the World Cup. Heaven help us, she’s not even in the top 3 props at Saints - Whitfield McDonald & Crowl

England in Las Vegas had 7 Saints players in the team. If an England 17 was named tomorrow I would say only Vicky Whitfield would be in and possibly Leah Burke.

I can see Saints having at least another 4 players retire, they say they have good players coming through their Academy but they aren’t even as strong as The Giants or Valks Academy.

Sounds like a cracking game. Interestingly Leon Pryce said Tara Jane Stanley could be back in 3 weeks. Also Savannah Andrade to come back in so hopefully at full strength in the near future.

I like Rowley but some of his team selections this year have me doubting him. Harry Robertson is one of the most gifted players coming through but has been shafted a couple of times this year. Whitby needs persevering with and Jake Davies looks quality but they have been dropped for rubbish players. Any team with a backrower of Shorrocks, Wright & Whitley is not serious about winning the competition.

Austin Daniel looked a real prospect to me, he was the most impressive whilst Shae O’Conner who I think is still 17 was the pick of the forwards.

I believe Gannon came off for a HIA again, passed it and went back on only to come off again for a HIA late in the game. Such a shame, he is such a promising player.

I expected it to be a bit closer, big win for Leigh who have been the quietest team over social media over the off season.

Kind of feel no matter who the Valkyrie played, they would’ve suffered a backlash, very disappointing result for the Giants though.

Which is sad to see, they are a talented bunch with more natural ability than Saints but they just don’t know what they are doing.

If Leeds Rhinos are serious about their Women’s team, then Lois Forsell has to go. She was a great player, she was great in her role at developing the girls game etc but under her coaching The Rhinos are going backwards. The team is just going nowhere and the players look pretty clueless. A well coached team is easy to see, every player knows their role in the team. I don’t know who’s in charge, JJB or whoever but they have to act now.

A team full of International players and included 3 ex-NRLW players. I just can’t believe how bad they were. Having said that I’m not going to write them off in the Super League, they get Tara J Stanley back soon plus Emma Kershaw & Carrie Roberts. They also have the impressive youngsters Liv Turner who I would play in the halves and Brooke Henderson who has been their best back in the lead up games.

Yes I think the Giants thought they would just run all over Swinton but they kept dropping the ball when they looked like scoring. They did get their act together but it was too late. They lost Tegan Sant in one of the group games and she was badly missed as she is their most creative player.
