Fages I think 

Both have kicked well, Fages with the two 40-20s but Keary has done some good stuff too.

Lumb would’ve finished that

Incredible effort. Just launched himself.

I do like when technique goes out the window and a defender just absolutely hoys himself at a player.

What was Miller chelping about there?

[MZH]

I reckon Leeds would have won a challenge there if they contested the ball steal. Might have still gone down as a Leeds knock on, but definitely wasn't a penalty imo.

[tiffers]

Get the impression Catalan have been playing at about their level and the Rhinos are still in the sheds. Yet to get out of 1st gear.

As MZH said, he probably had a point but should be marched 10m downfield if you contest a decision without using a challenge.

Cleary has done nothing, and quite rightly. He's saving himself for the Saturday game in New Zealand.

Keary, on the other hand, has been okay.

Good to see your weird alerts are working.

[MZH]

Miller certainly isn't afraid to air the ball out is he. I'm not sure that's the sort of pass I would be throwing to a player with Hankinson's hands!

A spirited first half from Catalans, but Leeds have been very poor. I'm expecting them to get the rounds of the kitchen and come out a different team in the second half.

[DoubleD]

Catalan were 18/1 odds to win before the game. I nearly had a punt because it looked extremely generous and they had a decent line up. Leeds though look to have come in a little complacent. I expect a reaction in the second half.

Definitely the best I’ve seen Catalan play all season though, credit where it’s due. Question is if they can keep it up for the full 80. Id say it’s unlikely 

[Chrispmartha]

Leeds have been awful in attack we deserve that half time score

Impressive looking crowd for a Thursday night.

Bit Catalans means low crowds right?

[Agbrigg]

Catalan have surprised me tonight by how well they have played. However I just have the feeling as the game opens up, Leeds will throw the ball around and go on to win

[DoubleD]

Frightening how much we’ve missed Connor the past couple of games

[Ullman]

Falcon!

[phiggins]

Not convinced Miller grounded that to give the drop out 

[dkw]

What the hell was that all about 

[Just Browny]

The Rhinos fans didn't seem as bothered about the two forward passes in their attack.

Should have been sent upstairs! 

[Chrispmartha]

That kick from croft was criminal on the first tackle

Best to nip a misconception in the bud and have everyone informed before it all spirals into confusion.

Boas? Very flamboyant. Never seen that on the rugby side of Headingley ...
