What really annoyed me more than anything last night was that we yet again look devoid of ideas once we get over the oppositions 20M line. The try by Faraimo showed what running a decent line game do but we just don't do it enough. We very rarely use the size of Paea or Taylor when close to the line by having them steaming onto a ball. My other gripe is our attacking line more often than not goes so deep that we actually loose ground from where we ptb because its static with not forward movement when the ball is played.
Showed good character though the come back and get the 2pts.
been saying this for a while, lose Kelly and we struggle, as has been said, we need an attack coach. I hate to mention his name, but there is someone we could maybe get in.

Nope, it was a couple of feet wide and I was in the East stand with a good angle to view it from.

First tgame me we have beaten them in the league in 4 years
we do make it hard for ourselfs, but happy with the win, just that 15 min spell where we dropped off, but nice to see us come back and get the win, paea had a storming second half, taylor been outstanding since watts left,

I'd like to know what some mean when they say that we drop off...
I see it this way, we concede 4 penalties in the first half but then, through no change in the way we play the Ref decided to ping us 4 or 5 times on the bounce which puts us under a lot of pressure. At no point did our intensity in attack or defense really drop off.
The issue is, consistent refereeing. I am sure a ref could ping something on every play if we actually analyse it out, but getting 5 back to back penalties seems harsh, given that Leeds did not real different to us all night.

not exactly a "monkey off our back", scraped a narrow win after being 14 points up. Hardly something to crow about, in my opinion. We HAVE to start playing the full 80.

Winning the way we did was probably better for our confidence and showed our resilience because whenever it is close against Leeds we always seem to come up short. Leeds had all the momentum, we were on a team warning and when Parcell scored there only looked 1 winner.

Who is crowing?
Was a great win and performance It doesn't matter if it was by a point or 20. But it's no good if we get back next week.

We fans keep mentioning the same things week after week and it doesnt seem to get any better. just dont understand why there is no improvement in these areas. Taking the ball up when you are stood still really annoys me.Talanoa does it all the time.If they took the ball when in motion they could make many more metres and also much more of a chance to break the tackle.

the players were put on a team warning last night,for not clearing the ruck quick enough.how often are the likes of Wigan put on a team report,for doing the same thing?Just a thought.
