Massive win against one of the form teams of the competition. To say we've done it without 3 of our top players is another big statement. Great to see us bend but not break when Sheffield had large amounts of pressure during that second half.

Good performance and an entertaining game. We got off to a great start - I think Sheffield were still on the bus. Then we had a real arm wrestle. Again out discipline was good and we capitalised on Sheffield's mistakes and penalties.

Thought Holmes was great again. That move where he runs a drop off from Patton got us two tries. Arundel had a decent game and in the forwards it was really tough. Scurr was very good and picked up from last week.

Of the Leeds lads I thought Tindall was the best. Ruan looked a bit below par and Johnson overplayed a bit when it needed something simpler.

Good win today, I was a bit worried late on when they were attacking and Flanagan couldn't get back on but like dddooommm said we did it without 3 of our senior players. I thought Tindall was the pick of the Rhinos boys and Ruan was like a Pierce-Paul type of player. Bring on Ktown next week.

Tindall was impressive again and it was a good job we had him with Blackmore being unavailable.

I see the clip of Holmes' second try is up on the club's twitter feed. What a great set move that is.

That was one of the best tries I've seen us score for a long long time. The team seem confident, following the game-plan and process, digging in when we're under the cosh (last years squad would have surrendered that 20 point lead)

I also think we look well coached, so huge praise to Dunning.

Short memory of his side having to play in a school playground not long ago...

Laughable comments from Aston. How many years did Sheffield go without a home? Depressing.

I mean he is not wrong, Odsal is a depressing sight nowadays but after a defeat it just smacks of sour grapes.

Luckily the product on the pitch seems much improved this year. Couldn't make the last couple of games but I do once again feel motivated to go watch them after seeing the Widnes game live. Half tempted by a visit to Cougar Park, expect it will be a good atmosphere.

100% agreed.what is he expecting Suncorp? If it is that bad, next time perhaps stay at away.
