Looked to me on replay that Mamo was tackled in the air.

I thought Ratchford looked to knock on on their first try, but maybe the camera angle is deceiving.
A shout out to mellor. I've been quite critical of his defence in recent weeks. As a team we still missed 37 tackles which is too many- but mellor made 42 tackles and missed just 1 so well done him on that improvement!

We lose concentration and it cost us two tries. We can't deal with bombs, but on the plus side some of our attacking looked good, although that was partly down to poor wire defence. We have some promising youngsters, hopefully these opportunities will help them develop, but I think it is safe to say unless something changes we will be in the middle 8 again.
Well I was encouraged - but then again I was at the Catalans game........

Leeming gave away 4 penalties. He is an absolute liability and all his good work is wasted by his indiscipline.
Also I see that both Wakeman and Clough had good games in both defence and attack.
Of the 42 tackles missed the majority were missed by the backs and we seem to have a real issue with tackling technique in all the backs.

I don't get the negative comments on Clough - I thinks he's been solid from day one. Nothing spectacular but makes some good yards consistently. He actually looks better at 13.
Also, Wakeman is getting better and better now the ground is getting firmer. Interesting to see play from end on for a change as he looks to have some good quick feet.

Agree with you here mate. Clough was never a Seb type player, we all knew that. But he is a smart, hard working forward and been one of our best forwards so far this year for me.
Wakeman is getting better, I think he has a long way to go until we see his best.

it was alot better than the catalans game by us, 18 errors in the catalans game, we cut down on those.... maybe not in the last 10 when we had to chase the game but it almost paid off
leeming is a penalty machine, but he decided to run forward with the ball yesterday and looked very good when he does that, needs to back himself more
a few dodgy looking tries yesterday from wire for 2/3 and for ours macintosh one
