And anyone thinking Chester doesn't care = hear Westerman and see Chester's face at interview!

Yep...Westerman was clearly frustrated at yet another loss, despite everyone's best efforts and Chester was clearly devastated

Well, I simply must watch a different game, I enjoyed it and thought we were brave and fairly composed.

We are inching closer to form.

Composed , there is a lot you can say about both teams but that is not a word to describe either

I thought both sides were appalling with ball in hand, slow passing, forward passes, passes to the floor and behind the man. Can’t play ball correctly or put it on the floor knock one all over.

We are so starved of success that we cling onto any positives we can. The problem is it is still another loss against an unusually poor Leeds team. We did defend well and put in a lot of effort but we lacked any structure in attack, which resulted in two points lost. This match actually followed most of our performances this year, the difference was that Leeds were the worst team we have come up against.
It’s up to the club and the coach to decide what they need to do because we are staring relegation in the face.

He's from Wakey most understand he probably loves the club he's supported as a lad does it make him the right man to be Head Coach?

If a player isn’t sure he’s tackled, gets up and plays on the ref almost always calls him back to play the ball. In theory it’s a penalty but it’s a judgement call by the player in the heat of the moment and I’ve rarely seen it penalised. I think the ball steal at the end should have been treated the same. It was a poor decision by Hicks - one of several for both sides - and it was an absolutely crap way for the game to be decided.

That's actually a very good point.

We lost to a team that was even worse than us and I suppose that sums it all up.

Right now ive calmed down and thought about it

Really cant fault the effort esp reece tini pitts ashurst and of course westerman.people saying our defence was great well it was in regards pur goaline defence that was great but defence elsewhere where wasnt leeds who are a poor side made meters down the field with ease look at the decieding play we had them in own 20 to 25 on 3 tackles they where 20 meters out come the penalty.attacking wise its nothing short of pathetic we dont have any attack what so ever.another game where we have gone best part of 60 mins without a try.leeds are not at present a good side and have won 3 out there last 9 games all against us.so while it was close game its certainly another lost we should and could of won.the penalty decsion was in my view wrong and xould be labled a plain cheating by hicks as already pointed out neutrals watching the game said all 50 50 went leeds way but had jay not of took the ball gale would of kicked a drop goal so no blame on pitts.we have now lost 9 on bounce if we lose next week v kr it will be 10 for what i believe will be 10 in a row for the scond time i 12 months and while i felt for cc today really looks beati but if we dont get the result next week then surley a change is needed for the benifit of the club

Overall overmoon with effort but i could go get lads from ncl who would all put 120% effort in but doesnt mean its good enough

Agree about the way the game was decided but the decision itself looked correct, the momentum was stopped and Mr Hicks had called held.
We can't be having decisions changed or ignored depending on the time of the game.
Hard luck to you, once again plenty of effort but need more in attack.
Rumour i've heard is you've got a half back coming in very shortly if a deal happens with his club and another player which would no doubt help you if true.
