Quote ="saint at wire"According to the BBC Cunningham said:
"I was disappointed with the start. We probably gave Leeds a little bit too much respect.
"I could see the players were gassed but I knew, if we were within a score or two at half-time, we would be in with a shot.
"We came out really well in the second half and at 18-14, the game was on, but we made the misread on Watkins, which was down to poor attention to detail, and it ended up costing us."
Not exactly insulting to Leeds. Personally I didn't think the Sav try was a try but the VR gave it.'"
I think those are valid comments to be fair.
I also believe we showed far too much respect. One example of such was allowing Moon to run right across our defence in the build up to the Hardaker try. He should have been knocked into next week. I also felt us kicking early and playing so conservatively effectively told you that we didn't fancy going toe to toe and would take our chances on you tiring.
Pleased to see Savelio getting plenty of credit. The boy is a star in the making. Sadly, he's already openly acknowledged that he wants to go to the NRL and will likely leave us in 2 years when he'll be only 22 years of age.
