Eddie and Steveo are pillocks and steve-o had his worst performances in months in thatgame but he was SPOT ON about the leeds obstruction. that Ball was a good 6 inches away from the line. I almost wish the obstruction had been ignored so they could check the grounding!

Totally disagree, we were poor, a million miles off how we played last year.

Change your sig JD !!!

Beaten by the better team, too many key players missing for us, Hodgson, Monaghan and Bridge the main ones, then loosing Ratchford after around 45 mins made it even more difficult.

I like Leeds as a team but Brent Webb really gets on my wick! every time he's tackled he's moaning to the ref and chunnering at the player whos tackled him and carries it on even after the next tackle after has been completed.

We probabley needed a kick up the backside, as the last couple of games we have been well below par, so roll on the next 3-4 games.

This is gonna hurt!

Christ we sound like Jive Bunny!

Just a few points

Really poor handling, tonight. We really can't afford to be this slip-shod, later in the season (I doubt we will, though!)

I think we should be seeing a little more from Mr Waterhouse in open play. Fair enough, it's 'early doors' in the season, but he's not exactly brought his Test game over with him....yet.

Myler, you'd just messed up...dont try and be Billy Big Biscuits, and touch the ball down in your own in goal area....hoof the thing into the surrounding streets.

No need to panic. No-one's won (or lost) SL, a month before the kiddies have got their hands on Easter eggs.

Hopefully, we'll have Monaghan, Bridge and Hodgson back next week...3 big losses today


Oh, and a word of praise for a ref.....well done Silverwood (and his team)...got precious little wrong....can we have an end to these pointless "the ref for Sunday is" threads.....



ONWARDS AND UPWARDS, WIRE

The problem is pitches get boggy and conditions slippery again come late September.

Would we have won with Bridge?

Your pack tonight were outstanding at times tonight and making ground for fun. They made more meters than the Leeds pack despite less possesion first half. Why didn't wire continue to play to their strength on the night? Especially in bad conditions away from home. Too many errors though really, I didn't think it was a great game but not a poor one either. The side that held onto the ball best won the game.

.......and yet we only got beat by 8 points against the so-called World Champions.

More positives than negatives for me - Michael Monaghan on the pitch and we win.....comfortably.

Both sides can improve on tonight's showing, but we have more 'scope' to improve, as Mr Cullen pointed out....

I do like how Tony always backs up the ref

Am not a big fan of stats,but what is our win % with Hodgson.And without Hodgson..

Touche.

HAs any one got Phil Clarke's number? If so, tell him I said he's a !

When they weren't dropping it or trying to offload when it wasn't on. I love the way we play expansive Rugby, but if I'm honest, a culture of "just complete a damned set and get a good kick away if we've knocked on twice in a row" wouldn't go amiss.

Exactly, you make my point for me, Leeds are a good team but we are better, we lost because we played poorly.

it was a very blasé performance tonight... just like the last few games.. it looks like the players have the same 'oh well we don't win anything until the end of the season' mentality that us fans now have. No respect for possession again... defeat was coming. i was hoping we would sort out the errors from the last few games.. but we didn't, we just carried on like nothing was wrong... mistake after mistake after mistake.... i was a miracle we went in 12-12 at half time... i don't think ive ever seen us make so many mistakes in one half of rugby.

having said that, on the few occasions we had the ball and we woke up we looked good..... no worries about the rest of the season at all.....

an internet expression I hate, but here we go.....


.... +1

that only started to happen when Hill came on and set an example for all the older more experienced players.

You think we will play like that in 6 months?

You think we'll play that stupidly in one month?

Tony Smith will shoot a rocket up certaina rses. I can see some players running laps at training.

We will improve and prepare better for the weather turn.

The ground didn't beat us last september, pooe discipline did

Maybe we need to find a coach who will instill some basics into the lads.....Its obvious to us all we have the players, but the instructions they are being sent out onto the pitch with are totally wrong??
