That's true in one sense, but I'd rather be in a final than not. They always say the most gut-wrenching and damaging round to lose is the semi final because you have the dream of the final but end up with nothing and often it compromises your performance in the league.

That's what crucified us last night.
Our pack needed to dominate, something we've done well in a few games recently.
But the ref chose to allow Leeds (and probably us) to get away with murder at the play the ball, particularly in the first half.
The packs effectively cancelled each other out.
There was plenty of effort, but our backs don't perform if the pack isn't on top, which is not unusual for teams, to be fair.

Nonsense

Would agree with you on that.

I disagree..

Leeds's defensive line speed was outstanding,and our play the ball was slower than their line speed, therefore this negated our attack.

Until, we learn to play the ball & pass faster, we wont trouble any opposition with a quick line speed.

From the start, we lacked enthusiasm & aggression, it was only until after 20 minutes,we played with more intensity.

For mine, our pack was dominated..

.... you always disagree.

Pack matched there's, we had plenty of territory. Main difference was ball handling and there extra class in the outside backs.

Thats my opinion... you are entitled to yours.

Bingo.
Barring a spell where we had a number of first choices off the field at once the pack was on top.

Their kicking game was a lot better too.
