Didn't anybody else spot Pat richards try off a forward pass from Tomkins?

I was pretty much in line with Hardakers pass back to Sinfield and that looked forward to me. Happens both ways.

Slightly OT but there was some great banter with the Bradford fans yesterday, including the conga past the main body of out support

I'm not finding myself too gloomy at the moment. We were disappointing against Saints, but against Hudds and Wigan we found out that we're going OK but not quite at the level of the current 2 best teams in the competition. Most of the difference is that things aren't quite clicking in attack.

I see no cause for panic. If we play like that next time out I think we'll beat Hull. There's time for this stuff to come good, and time for Wigan and Hudds to drop off a bit. We look a much better side than at this point last season.

You never know William might reinstate his mini-league now.

Leeds didn't play well. Didn't have much quality ball, or field position (we retained the usual handling errors and silly penalties) yet we nearly nicked it. The fact that Wigan couldn't really put us to bed will be noted by both coaches for a likely future meeting this season.

Very pleasing how Sutcliffe and Singo applied themselves.

It was a strange one - we gifted them a try (arguably a second with the penalty to concede field position for Richards try) and then kept them scoreless in the second half. I personally thought we looked the dominant side for the majority of the game and should have won it.

To think we have Peacock, Ablett, Delaney and Ward to come back into that side I think the positives far out weigh the negatives in this performance.

Wigan may have won but I can't imagine they'll be too complacent by their performance.

Could have gone either way.

I thought we were poor in attack, but like you we have a number of players out.

Enjoyable game, not perfect but both teams have improvements to be made.

See you in the Grand Final.

Agree with all of this. This team is very reliant on a fully fit Peacock but it's doing us good to cope without him...

Can we see you in the semi instead? We never beat you in finals.

No but I spotted a try from Richards from a totally legal pass from Tomkins so I guess all's well that ends well.
