lucky, lucky Leeds.

Based on the last play of the game we didn't deserve to even draw. See if you have the saem coaches handbook as we have:

It's 22 all, you break with 20 seconds left and get to the opponents 20 metre line with 3-4 tackles left. Do you:

a: Move the ball from dummy half towards the middle of the pitch and drive toward the sticks while the defence is trying to set then organise for a simple 1 pointer from right infront to win the game.

b: Move the ball from dummy half to the left wing to set up a 1 on 4, then run around in circles with the ball losing ground before putting in an aimless kick towards the opponents try line which is covered and with no chasers, hoping that the fullback will lose the ball and another one of the half dozen defenders there will pick it up from an offside position. Then kick the winning penalty.


Based on the performance and demenour of our club captain I'm starting to actually think he is going to Warrington at the end of the year - if not before.

A very valid point - that I noted at the time but has since been lost with the drama of the win.

Who was he dummy half?

McgUire did the right thing in taking it back to the centre and did well to get there - his brain fart was the aimless chip.

Former Australian and NSW legend... Danny Buderus.

Ah. Put it down to inexperience.

I would agree with that.

Bless.

Touchy aren't we.



[uTranslation:[/u I'm still sore over being proved wrong on the recruitment debate.

In fairness I suspect he got a call, and other players should have known were to take the ball as well. I thought McGuire had the right idea taking it back to the middle, but when he kicked it I couldn't believe it.

neither could i,a stupid thing for an experienced player to do. a drive to the sticks and drop goal was what was needed. had cas not fouled up i suspect he may have had some questions from bluey after the game

Someone should tell McGuire he is not allowed to kick the ball, i think leeds would be much better off with our other kickers and Mcguire could concentrate on the better aspects of his game

thought bedsy was cracking again!! his defence is nothing short of amazing!! the amount of pressure he put on the kickers when cas were looking for the 1 point near the end was blinding!! for mine he saved us at least 3 teams with his sheer effort!! his fitness is really coming and his grit is something to behold

this has to be a joke right!! burrow and sinfileds kicking game has been pretty poor all season. mcguires cross field kick are as good as anyone in the game.

who put the kick through to win the game?

In fairness there was one chaser in Jones-Buchanan (no surprises there) but that aside I couldn't believe the play either.

neither could I,I shouted at the tv no

Are you a man?

Some of your ebay purchases are interesting if so. You freak!

Actually, I just watched the replay. I may have been generous to Buderus saying he got a call, because right behind him screaming, jumping up and down and pointing at the sticks was Ali. I can't believe he missed that.

Yes, I thought it was a great game, our boys played well, expected to get thrashed so to bring it back from 0-16 down and only lose at the death was a great effort.

You needed to beat us sometime on our patch

Again what a complete tool

Unbelievable...I agree. In fairness to Leeds their defence was fantastic especially with just 15 men (I was even pleased with Ablett at enforced centre)....and the conditions made the game something of a lottery.

However, we still seem mainly clueless and/or reckless in attack.

Out of the last 10 games at your place it's 6-4 to Leeds.

HTH

his kicking game ain't the best even when we're firing.

We were 40 metres out with one tackle remaining, in the wet. it may not have been the most calculated decision, but there was no guarantee at all that we'd have managed a dropgoal from the position we were in.

Actually we were almost on the 20 and it was tackle 3 I believe. One drive up the middle against a still retreating Cas defensive line and then a drop from 25 out slap in front should have been a no brainer.

me too

Correct. From the tap restart Smith took it up, tackle one. Webb, Lauitiiti, Senior and McGuire moved it to Hall, tackle two. Buderus to McGuire and the rest is history.

The textbook play from tackle two was to drive towards the posts on tackle three and then take the one pointer on tackle four, five or six whenever a clear opportunity arose.

What McGuire did was wrong, no wonder he was jumping around when Sinfield slotted the two.

Watched it again on the SLS. You're both right, the play was much dafter than I first thought. In fairness to McGuire he perhaps did not know how much time was left on the clock. What the hell was (the otherwise outstanding IMO) Buderus doing going blind at that stage? There was only McGuire out there.
