if donald had made the error hall did he would have been slaughtered. donald had a very good game. good to see bluey knows more than the idiot fans who wanted him dropped.

buderus and mcguire were supurb in organising and directing the team around the park

burgess was supurb,lets hope he can cut the handling errors out of his game more often.

the penalty count was lost but seeing as how smith chose to ignore the quins offside at the PTB all night i would question if the count mattered tonight.

and finally how the hell did we win without bailey there to gee the boys up

Thought Donald had a good game. Great defense again. There were a couple of pens we should have had, but apart from the opening 10 mins, I can't remember us giving that many away.

should this new post not have gone here?
afterall this is relating to tonights game against the quins is it not?

ps you back soon from london!

thats because i never went fool!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hols next week, need to save the pennies



and we always have a thread for thoughts on the game,do try and keep up

Punctuation my friend, punctuation.

so thoughts on the match are different to the harlequins match thread?
you seem more like an attention seeker to me

whatever

Are you the Bradford version of Danny ?

danny has a personality.



well....................................................

I'd say more of a 'fredie'

Hall had a poor game by his season's standards, whilst Scotty has had a poor season.Period.

As the more knowledgeable fans have rightly pointed out, Donald has consistently underperformed this season, and it was good to see him have his best game so far, playing with a bit of enthusiasm and taking his try well.

So that'll be ............4 ........ a bit to go to catch up to his previous seasons totals methinks.

Webb was the best player on the park by a country mile, and with 8 different players crossing the line this was a cracking Leeds performance.

The iceing on the cake was Silly Phil's prediction that we'd never see 50 points being scored against Quins.

48 was close enough to embarrass the fool.

who started that rumour??

I've not seen the game yet but I'll guess that our in field triangle must have played quite well.If so do the same posters who wanted to brake this up still feel the same?

Phil Clarke shouting "Miss" over the microphone when Rob was taking the last conversion was a bizarre occurance.

Ramrod has gone quiet.

thought donald looked hungry for the ball tonight. Came in field a lot, and looked quite brave on a couple of occassions

Wondered how late Diskin's and Bailey's withdrawals from the 17 were. At one stage, I thought that Worrall was a non-playing substitute. With him and Watkins only coming on late in the game, we were almost playing with only 15 men for the majority of the game.

My thoughts. Big Brian must have given a reeeet pep talk

It went down quite well in our house cos it was funny.

Can you imagine the perplexity of a neutral switching on for the last five minutes, unaware of the previous banter, and hearing a supposedly neutral commentator (I know, I know ...) baying "miss ... miss" as a kicker lined up his conversion attempt?

Surreal.

But it added some interest after the game ceased to be a contest.

I am struggling to understand the demeanour of Brian McClennan in the post match press conference.

He seemed not to want to play with the journalists at all this week, and didn't seem to be want to be drawn into saying anything positive.

I can understand why a coach would want to play down a big win in the middle of the season but, not for the first time, I found his summary uninspiring. Notwithstanding the Quins capitulation that would surely be in the top 3 performances of the year?

Now if they had questioned him about that elusive penalty count .....

Leeds looked a complete different side with two players that have been distinctly average all season not being in the side.

Buderus as I have said all season is an 80 mins hooker and is better than Diskin could even dream to be.

Bailey is just pure gash, and Leeds looked a better more mobile outfit than him sat in the stands - Burgess by a country mile even though he doesnt do a Matty Adamson and gee the boys up.

I missed the first 10 minutes of the game and wondered how bad Leeds had been (truly awful listening to Eddie and Stevo). Then I watched it later and I'm struggling to see how a dropped pass and an attempted charge down that luckily fell to a Quins player is "the worst 10 minutes immaginable". I'm afraid I can imagine quite a lot worse than that. No surprises that the home team on the back of a brilliant performance at HKR and a recent thumping of Leeds at HQ came out and played a bit in the first 10. A good 80 minutes for Leeds, just a shame about Phil Clarke not having to walk to York with Barrie driving alongside him laughing all the way.

I think Rob Burrow will be in for some stick this week after being caught by a front row forward, especially after making Jon Wells look like Paul Wellens.

have to agree with this!disco is a good sl hooker and always tries his heart out but we are a much better team with buderus on the field! One of our problems this year has been our go forward. With bedsie playing 80 we can go with 4 big ens on the bench!

A pleasure to watch yesterday. Best performance of the season by some way (inc Wigan at home). Couldn't fault anyone. Buderus close to MOTM for me (again), Burgess and Kylie put some huge hits in, JJB cut out alot of the stupid penalties he's been giving away. The three (four inc Webb) pivots ran the show, there were dummy runners coming at pace, and we cut the errors out. The season ain't dead yet.

Agreed Matt I thought also the pivots played well.I still don't get this theory that the midfield triangle should be split up.What some teams would give to have Burrow,McGuire,Sinfield combination yet some of our posters on here think this should be broke up
