Draw would have been a fair result, both teams were poor with the ball. We do need to get smarter though, some of the things we do beggars belief.

I think you were watching a different game vastman , effort a plenty but poor execution throughout cost us dearly tonight . That game was there for the taking if only we had controlled the game better . We still have the feel of a team that hasn’t played together.having said that Westerman was outstanding and our defence was superb most of the game . So close but so far

We don’t get a point. It’s another loss.

100% for effort tonight & gutted for everyone. I know injuries are biting again but there was a lot of one out rugby on show & sometimes you’ve gotta let the ball do some of the work.

For once in your life try to be graceful in defeat. It's not easy but it's how gentlemen behave,

What are you on about, passes to the floor, dropping it at play the balls, knock one all over, from both sides, it was so scrappy. All that effort and s bit of composure would of seen us home there, Leeds we’re there for the taking. Try to watch the game in future you might learn something instead of wanting to be confrontational with everyone who as a different opinion to yours.

Lino! FFS!

Arona, Westerman and Lyne for starters, busting a gut.

Re: Squad for Friday : Fri May 14, 2021 9:06 pm  

This was not a good game, it was a game between two struggling teams. The only reason you think it was good was because we were in with a chance of victory which in the majority of matches we are not. The bottom line is it was another defeat and Leeds were there for the taking.
Leeds have won two games both against us and in both we surrendered a lead. We apparently improved on our average points scored per game which is 12 but still no tries in the second half. I was impressed with the number 9 on loan from Saints but I fear our injury situation has worsened considerably.

Got to agree with you vasty. The downside of our game was too many brain farts and the inability to get out of our 20 metre area on too many occasions. Defense was very good for most of the time. Great game for Westerman again. I actually felt sorry for CC on this occasion. Not because of tonight, but I think this golden point fiasco has got to go for next season and back to one point for the draw.

Really, you surprise me to be honest, each to their own I suppose.

Tense yes because of the close score, but both teams were very poor in attack. Leeds just about edged it as they made more ground.

The defense was excellent, but then it didn't have to on top of its game to withstand the Leeds pressure. They looked as clueless as we do.

Re: Squad for Friday : Fri May 14, 2021 9:08 pm  

What a shame the game had to end like that, all boarderlin desisions went Leeds way.
You can not question the effort and the defensive was much better tonight.
I'm not sure why in extra time when winning the toss we chose to receive the ball surely you are better kicking deep.
With 2 players unable to return a full back at stand off, 2 new on loan players in the squad, late injury causing a late change I really don't know what people expect.
Give the lads a break and get behind them instead of constantly moaning.
