The only concerning thing for me is Grix saying the Martin try & the ruck speed being quicker was just a coincidence & not because it was Balmforth playing + Martin instead of Barron playing. Sounds to me if Houghton is fit he’s straight back in even though everybody can see we’re unfortunately better without him.

Agree. Not sure if he’s brave enough to drop him, especially for a young lad.

Whatever the case, Balmforth should be in the 17 every week now. We looked a different side today with him on.

Everyone

1 minute to go, 8 points up and no one was celebrating. We've forgotten what to do when we win.

Balmforth excellent and transformed the game today. Who was the poster backing smith and grix in not playing him the other day?

Ese ese is immense every week and, for once, the rest of the pack did OK today. I agree carlos was also good and carried the ball well out of yardage. Half backs were a bit disappointing and we didn't really ask enough questions when we had the ball in their 20.

Leeds are garbage though. Surely smith is gone now

Hopefully the win is what we need to give us a bit of belief and we can go forward from here

That poster and several others no doubt keeping a low profile

i agree and with regard to Balmforth all we asked was that he was given a chance and a run in the team.
Looks like that will happen now so lets see what he can do because the difference at dummy half was plain to see today for even the doubters

You can't drop Balmforth after that. If I'm critical of 1 player today it's Morgan Smith,his passing was all over the place today. Balmforth made a massive difference

Might be nothing, but looks like Balmforth got club MOM. Leading Old Faithful in the dressing room, singing his heart out in the middle of the team.

Yes, definitely not looking like a player on his way out. It would be good to get some news about him getting a new contract.

Agree, I mentioned in my post that Smith passing wasn’t great. I was actually thinking after 20 mins and another poor pass by Smith when/if Grix was going to pull him for Balmforth then noticed Balmforth come in for Fash.

Pleased to see that Balmforth took on the dummy half role as he made such a difference and created a problem for the opposition. On his showing today I think it would be harsh to drop in next week as feel he had played himself in to the 17. I’d also say his fitness was pretty good for the minutes he played.
Even in spite of Smiths erratic passing at times today do thought we looked a more fluent and coherent team without Danny.

Be interesting to see if Cartwright comes in to the side straightaway and who would make way from today.

Nope it may have been me. I know Balmforth can play I just read and listen to some of the reasons why he hasn’t. Eg defence switching off. I noticed none of these today so I’m as pleased as everyone else. Did notice that the other players tried to keep him focused. Hope he plays next week

Obviously didn't work out for Smith here, but I do enjoy listening to him talking about the game in general
