Right; so in my opinion we we're beaten by the better team last night. We dropped off tackles, Markers on the whole didnt work hard, we played alot of one man rugby, had no attacking kicking game etc etc etc. Full Credit to Harlequins. But there we're still some positives in my opinion:



Ryan Hall-Made 2 try saving tackles and had another solid game. May not be the most elaborate player but always works hard and doesn't (Unlinke some seem to) take his place in the 17 for granted. Coming along nicely.

Scotty Donald-Had a better game tonight. Nothing outstanding but took a couple more balls on the full, had one of his old style breaks down the wing which we havent seen in a while. Hopefully this will bring more confidence and he will get back to the form that won him his dream team place.

Saints Lost Im not one of these that hates Bradford and wants em to lose all the time, im hoping they get back up there so this was good in terms of them winning but also in terms of saints losing. If they'd have won, they'd have been 6 points ahead of us....but there not; so that don't matter.



I appreciate Leeds have alot to work on and we're shockingly dissappointing but I like to highlight positives when some of the doom merchants get posting on here. Hopefully Leeds will get back to winning ways at Edingburgh.



On a seperate point Ryan Bailey....Copped it in the chops in the first half and we didnt see him again. Was holding his right cheek area from what I could see?Hope he is alright anyone got any news?

Quote ="MHL"if that really is the case, why not 'rest'(drop) him for a few He">weeks.'" He was rested last week but still seems way short of been fully match fit. I thought it a strange decision from BM to state that he intended to give the forwards a rest when possible, to then omit Burgess this week only to play him in the reserves. If we are going to rotate the props, then a rest should surely mean a week without playing a game, not turning out for the 2nd team.
