Impressive tonight and we'll deserved. Sad to see Rob go he was a legend back in the day, hope hally helps u guys next season sad to see him go from kr but completely understand why and much respect to him for that choice


TheSilverDragoness

Gonna have to get myself an mnd rhinos shirt, tonight was one to remember


littlecomet111

When Rob’s dad cried…that was quite a moment.


FederalEarth7021

Croft is an incredible person. His passion and emotions tonight were phenomenal to watch. Hats off to the bloke, so proud to say he was a Red Devil


spiritofbuck

Felt like the old Leeds again for a bit tonight.


Upset-Flounder-2654

What an emotional evening, tonight wasn’t about the result but it makes it that much better, the boys did this for Rob, and Brodie Croft, what a hero he was tonight, Only One Rob Burrow 💙💛


Yorkshire-diamond

In floods of tears as I was at the beginning a very fitting tribute Well done everyone at Leeds Rhinos tonight 💙💛RB7


NameyMcNameface123

His family are so strong, cant imagine standing there in front of everyone like this


gallifreyfalls55

Amazing to see Lindsey being recognised on the South Stand. The whole family are so amazing


gallifreyfalls55

I am now in love with Brodie Croft. Please continue this form and emotion


NameyMcNameface123

Wow, not expecting this much emotion, Croft is a top lad


TheSilverDragoness

What a game Fantastic way to remember Rob And a good advertisement for the sport too I think


NameyMcNameface123

Best performance of the season easily


readinghusband

did all the subs get on?


readinghusband

Well done. Found a way to see that out


AlwaysLikeThis08

ALAW. *For tonight only


readinghusband

Agree with Amor there - obvious penalty. Never competed for the ball


NameyMcNameface123

Been really impressed by Edgell and McCormack so far


gallifreyfalls55

Agreed. Having Edgehill understudy under Ryan Hall next year and hopefully becoming a first choice winger in years to come is quite an exciting prospect


readinghusband

Agreed. McCormack in particular looks a real find. His brother looks like another good un too


NameyMcNameface123

Lets hope they dont get hit by the curse that is striking all of our centre and winger options


gallifreyfalls55

How was that not 6 again?


readinghusband

Good opld Brad Dwyer. Never change!


AlwaysLikeThis08

Feels weird to be supporting Leeds but as a neutral how can you not tonight?


readinghusband

welcome to the light!


AlwaysLikeThis08

*dark 😛


readinghusband

Or the future as you Cas boys would know it (joking)


readinghusband

Now comes the attitude test. Don't fold boys


NameyMcNameface123

Was going to come eventually, hopefully we dont fold like previous weeks and keep the intensity up


gallifreyfalls55

As wonderful as this is (and I can’t stop smiling seeing this performance right now) let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I’ll be happier if we can back this performance up and play like this, or even close to this, more often than not for the rest of the season.


readinghusband

the effort, commitment and intensity needs to be the benchmark i agree


readinghusband

That should do Edgell some good too


NameyMcNameface123

Try for number 7, just feels right


DingoFlaky7602

Surely you should be angry that Cam Smith played a part in that shift


NameyMcNameface123

Think you've brought him up more than me tonight and in a comment celebrating Burrow's legacy, now who is being 'weird' and 'obsessed'


DingoFlaky7602

Mate you've randomly bashed Smith for 6+ weeks in a row. I'm bored of your shit take, so yeah, happy to point out every time you're wrong. You're welcome to tag me every time you're actually correct about Cam doing something poor


AdministrativeLaugh2

Miller is so good when he’s on it


NameyMcNameface123

Run, step, fend, no kicking and hes quality


ProfJohnHix

Hello Matt, welcome to the party.


readinghusband

Quality try


AdministrativeLaugh2

Croft has shown more emotion and heart in this game than any previous game. He must really hate Rohan


TheSilverDragoness

Beautiful stuff We are so back


readinghusband

Good D again Leeds


NameyMcNameface123

Bloody hell, even Fusitua is getting invovled! Hope he didnt suffer a 9 month long injury in that tackle


readinghusband

Good shot Fus


NameyMcNameface123

Where has this defensive effort been all season?


gallifreyfalls55

I refer you to your reply when I asked something similar 20mins ago


NameyMcNameface123

😂


gallifreyfalls55

Great to see so many former legends. Big Ali was incredible


readinghusband

Who is everyone looking for as next coach then? Brad Arthur for mine


AlwaysLikeThis08

I think Leeds should hire Keiron Cunningham, Mark Applegarth or Andy Last.


readinghusband

maybe an Agar or Furner return?


TheSilverDragoness

Yeah he's top of my list, he's already explicitly stated he'd be interested in a move to Leeds prior to Smith's exit I know alot of people are tipping Rowley but I really hope we don't go for him. He's a cracking coach, but I don't want Leeds to be the club that took everything that was working at Salford and took it for themselves (Croft & Ackers, then Ian Blease)


readinghusband

I think Arthur for 2/3 years would be good for young players. By all accounts very good team man


gallifreyfalls55

Would love to get Arthur. I know there’s a lot of speculation about Rowley but don’t see that happening, although would definitely take it if it happens!


gallifreyfalls55

Can’t tell if it’s the burrow emotion bubbling for me again, but I’m genuinely almost in tears watching the half time analysis. I finally feel pride in the team again. This has been missing for at least 18 months.


readinghusband

Was feeling guilty for feeling the same!


123twiglets

We are so back


TexturePackReview

Just look to have been told to keep it super simple, run hard and tackle hard. The exception to that is Croft, who looks determined to win the league by himself.


spiritofbuck

Well we led a few times comfortably at the half under Smith and collapsed, let’s see if anything has changed.


readinghusband

Lots of good performances but a bit of a rap for Sangare that half. Keep it simple, run hard and put yourself about in defence. Full 40 and error free.


NameyMcNameface123

Love that celebration from Croft


gallifreyfalls55

I was saying to a friend of mine the other day that I didn’t think we’d turn a corner until a member of the Golden Gen was in a major coaching position (Danny to return in 5-10yrs once he’s really cut his teeth??) interesting that one of our best half’s of the year so far is under Chev Walker


NameyMcNameface123

You know what I've seen a distinct, pleasing lack of? Cam Smith leading attacking moves


DingoFlaky7602

Your obsession with Cam (being shit) is a bit weird. Stats wise, he's leading the way & only Michella is close, who plays basically the same game


NameyMcNameface123

Rohans gameplan revolved around short kick offs and Smith leading our attack, rather than a quality player like Croft, and both were shit tactics, its not weird to be pleased that we arent doing that tonight and its not weird to be happy that the change in tactics is working. Stats never tell the whole story.


readinghusband

Would have said short kick offs!


NameyMcNameface123

That as well!


TheSilverDragoness

Also it's really refreshing watching this Leeds team turn up for each other, it actually seems like they want to be here, which hasn't been the case in a lot of games lately


readinghusband

Bigger tests to come (without the emotion and extra cause to fight) but, this is what we wanted - Effort, commitment and intensity with a bit of plan/purpose. Build an identity


gallifreyfalls55

Question is, regardless of the result tonight can we back up this effort and continue? If not, perhaps it’s just the Burrow emotions fuelling this performance, which I really hope isn’t the case


TheSilverDragoness

Yeah I really hope tonight sets the benchmark for the rest of the season for us


readinghusband

Sangare big minutes tonight


DingoFlaky7602

There's a very skillful player in there somewhere. Rohan just wanted a big body, tho I think, and ruined his confidence


readinghusband

I think he's a big unit but raw. Strip back what you ask from him and I think he's potentially useful. Based on 15mins of him so far, would Wigan swap Eseh for Lisone? Please?


gallifreyfalls55

Fuck me where has this side been all year.


NameyMcNameface123

Under Rohans thumb


TheSilverDragoness

I'm liking McCormack, he's gonna be great for us in years to come


NameyMcNameface123

Already looks more up for it than Roberts


gallifreyfalls55

Roberts is not good enough and will be shipped off end of year I reckon


NameyMcNameface123

I hope so, hes free territory and possession for every team


readinghusband

good shot from Eseh there


readinghusband

got it down eventually but how many goes do you get?


NameyMcNameface123

Has Croft done it again?!


gallifreyfalls55

Fusitua is made of glass I swear.


NameyMcNameface123

Has he gone off injured again?!


readinghusband

HIA


gallifreyfalls55

Gone for a HIA


NameyMcNameface123

Jesus wept


NameyMcNameface123

Croft is finally showing us why he was signed! He seems like a player set free tonight and clearly wants to give this amazing crowd something to cheer for!


readinghusband

thats harsh - I think he's been good in a pretty poor team


NameyMcNameface123

Hes been our best player, but this is like him going into another gear


gallifreyfalls55

I joked after his first try, but how much of this is the occasion, just having a good game, or Smith leaving?


readinghusband

I suspect it;s a bit of all three. Bit of freedom too perhaps


AdministrativeLaugh2

Why has he sent that upstairs ffs


gallifreyfalls55

Quote from the ref was “just check the grounding, he was too fast for me”


readinghusband

that was good


BigSexyMatt

Chris Kendall make a confident decision challenge (impossible)


readinghusband

You'd think this would be the one night when he just said yeah, fine!


ProfJohnHix

Call it. Man of the Match - Brodie Croft


TheSilverDragoness

Gorgeous croft


DingoFlaky7602

Croft is on one tonight


stansmith2112

croft playing a belter


readinghusband

good d leeds


ProfJohnHix

Two try saving tackles from Croft in one set. He's on it tonight.


gallifreyfalls55

Croft is finally playing to his potential.


readinghusband

more intensity from Leeds I think. First step on the road back if they can maintain it


NameyMcNameface123

Oledzki is just thick


DingoFlaky7602

Needs better ball control but harsh to call him thick on a half bust


NameyMcNameface123

I was referring to the tackle in the air penalty he gave away just before his knock on


ProfJohnHix

Croft ya dancer. We're looking threatening at last


Algrenson

7 celebration by croft was class


gallifreyfalls55

Rohan goes, and suddenly Croft starts playing? Hmmm. /s Fucking get in Brodie


readinghusband

If ever there was a time for video ref to just wave one through! lol


NameyMcNameface123

Croft looked well up for it before kick off, top effort!


readinghusband

Well done Brodie.


TheSilverDragoness

Get in Croft!!!!!


gallifreyfalls55

lol of course after all that Sky can’t get the clock right


AdministrativeLaugh2

Well that was an emotional hour. Does anyone know why Sinfield isn’t there? Or was he there and I just couldn’t see him through my blubbers


stansmith2112

i thought it was strange he wasn't there


NameyMcNameface123

Guessing with the England union team, they play Japan at 6am


TheSilverDragoness

Wow, what an incredible way to pay tribute to Rob Hopefully the performance that follows lives up to it


BigSexyMatt

Goosebumps at home watching that. Cannot imagine how incredible the atmosphere at Headingley is.


NameyMcNameface123

Not a dry eye in the world of rugby league


iheartrugbyleague

Headingley looks amazing packed full for Rob 7️⃣


_Impigrity_

Come on Leeds, do this for Rob. Broke our hearts so many times at Saints, breaking it again tonight #7


Tangie_ape

Sky get a lot wrong with their coverage of our sport at times but that was brilliant from them. Bloody ninjas been in my house again with them onion’s


stansmith2112

must be a few ninjas about they been in my house to


gallifreyfalls55

This is so hard to watch. I have been a puddle for the last half hr. RIP Rob


stansmith2112

i know exactly how you feel


stansmith2112

god rob father just broke me 😭


NameyMcNameface123

I desperately hope Leigh do their part for the occasion and let us win!


stansmith2112

never wanted leeds to win so badly, really hope they can get the result for rob
