When Galloway remembers hes not allowed to tackle around the head he's actually one of our better middle defenders but it's the 2 or 3 pens a game which put too much issue on our line

The pens seem lazy with him as well, especially as he'll pull off at leat one textbook tackle (tonight was one on Roby I think that just cut him down) a game. Just needs to bend his back.

Better performance this week and pleasingly the attack is better.

I've criticised Burrow so far this season but the last 2 games he's been brilliant. Honourable mentions for Handley, Lilley, Garbutt, Galloway, Singleton and JJB and there's others I've missed I'm sure.

Not saying everything's great but markedly better in my opinion.

Defence in that middle unit is an absolute shambles, seemingly irrespective of personnel. Without Ward and Ferres we must have the slowest and least mobile bunch of forwards in SL. Any time the opposition puts any pace or changes of direction into the game we simply can't cope.

Improved a bit when Mullally and Singleton on the field, but Baldwinson has to get a go next week. He can't possibly be any worse. We seem to have acquired a winter rugby pack for a summer game. We don't have an LMS, a Bateman - the sort of athletic back rowers who can cover the ground defensively, but can also use their footwork to leave defenders grabbing.

We conceded 38 points. That's not "good".

Great game to watch - ball being thrown around, some great attacking moves - much rather watch an unstructured game like this than defensive bore-fest

Same here. I enjoy a good high intensity defensive game too but it's been a while since we've seen the ball thrown around like that by both teams.

Truly awful up the middle. JJB seemed to be responsible for tackling everyone running between Watkins and Keinhorst.

Summed up for Fages second try, when Galloway had a clean shot at Luke Walsh but fell off the tackle.

There seems to be a disconnect between the middle four and the edges as well, big gaps on our own line between the prop/hooker/loose and the edge second rower. Players drifting out watching runners rather than defending from the inside out, Ablett guilty of that a couple of times early on.

Why would the ref sin bin Amor?

I thought keinhorst was outstanding, but was annoyed we only showed some aggression when Hardaker was injured, on paper wehave a good pack but we get bossed every game!

Ablett was lead footed early on, but no way he was fit at the start of the match.

For holding back a Leeds player during a break. I'd have to see it again to see if it was a definite sin bin but certainly had potential to be.

Didn't think so. Thought Bentham got all the important stuff right. I did think Saints should have had a try when Lilley fumbled on our line as well. Couldn't really see why that wasn't a try.

I thought there were three possible outcomes to that, none of which were a scrum to saints. It should have been a try, because he lost the ball, a penalty to Leeds, for forcing him in goal after the tackle was complete, or a drop out.

Yeah. That was the break we needed. Up until then it looked like it could have been 60

Yep. Thought we could have crumbled and been really hammered at that point. Big credit to some of the guys who refused to give it up. Helped by Saints being a bit $h1t as well defensively.

Yeah that interference by Amor looked really poor -I think he would have been clear for Burrow to pass to and go under the posts but three times Amor tugged him back as he was getting away.

It's hard to assess Falloon as like Ablett and Delaney he is being chucked out there not fully fit. Whether that's the best option or not for all three of them I don't know but we're desperate for experienced players out there.

Said after Salford I would stay off the away games due to the crap served up each week. Gave in last night for my son, and glad I did. I don't mind losing when we throw the ball around like that. At least entertainment was a plenty.

Thought Galloway, Garbutt, Keinhorst, and Handley were outstanding. All of the players never gave up, just some were more costly than others, but none could be said as poor. Lilley looks so so good and we just need to build that side around him. I felt sorry for Sutcliffe last night, he came on worked hard, an absolute class pass, some good running and backing up, then with Hardaker injured, forced into more work and a position not for him. And more importantly Lilley looked at his best whilst he was around him.

In the end I think we just deserved that and would have had it, had the ref played to the rules, or Golding had kicked ahead for Watkins instead of passing, or we had not blown precious time when blowing the free play on the extra six. But then again you can also look back at the number of costly errors by certain players that put us in that position.

Happy to watch that every week though, and would gladly persevere with more youngsters and lose if it's like that.

Falloon isn't the standard we require for a key position - if we are bring players over from the NRL they need to be of the highest standard possible. Falloon just looks like a desperate gap-filler to me. Neither his defence of ball skills are anything to right home about.

Hopefully next season GH has something better in mind

Clear professional foul by Amor on Burrow yet clearly missed

Baldwinson must be really fed up as to how Galloway has a place in the matchday squad above him

Handley will be very unlucky if he gets dropped to accommodate either Hall or Briscoe - neither of them deserve their place back on the form they showed prior to their injuries. If I recall Lilley was involved three times in the move that lead to one of Keinhorst's trys, I agree re. Sutcliffe was really getting into the game when he was moved to FB

Doesn't the Geneva Convention forbid the torture of rugby players? Asking Delaney to try and play every week is practically a war crime.

Its that warrior mentality - all brawn no brains!!

Handley has got better and better each week, and I too would not put either ahead of him now. He actually looks better playing on the left though.

What it showed with Sutcliffe, like last season, is that an open flowing game with fast movement, he can stand out and really play a part in great link play. Where he struggles, and where unfortunately for him what top teams need, is what happens in tight games with tight defences. But it was a shame for him last night, that having had such a poor season, he really was showing what talent he has last night and to get his confidence back. I can't see that those attempted tackles at fullback would have helped his confidence, but he needs to concentrate on the good he did with the ball prior to that, as he was only covering for forced injury.
