Fans hail 'sublime' attack but defence is a real worry

Folks have been critical this season of Leeds' lack of attacking edge.

Had you asked me before the match what I thought the score would be, I would have predicted a narrow difference of four-six points and a low-scoring contest.

But the reality was completely different. The game was fluid, with excellent attacking play resulting in a total of 78 points.

The skill levels, particularly in attack, were outstanding from both teams and, in my opinion, this was the best performance the Rhinos have delivered this season. The precision of the passing and the distance achieved with the passes were remarkable, contributing to an exhilarating game of rugby.

I believe Jake Connor deserved the man-of-the-match award for his flawless kicking and offensive play, although the official man of the match, Kallum Watkins, demonstrated why he has earned another contract for next year, showcasing his experience. It was also heartwarming to see Mikolaj Oledzki score after a two-year drought without a try and he certainly expressed his gratitude to Jake for facilitating that moment.
