A strong pack and a balanced 1/4 line.
How I wish we could play Saints a just embarrass them. A one trick team as I saw last night.
The best goal kicker is playing on our right wing. Charnley can bang them over from anywhere.

But that's exactly our problem, rd
We've had a bucket full of these kind of "kickers", since I've been watching.
Ratchford, Briers, Carbert, Lyon, and, to a certain extent, Harris.
But they are not Hesford, Woods, Davies, Hodgson.

Good goalkickers MAY win matches the team should win.
Great ones ALWAYS do.

I tell you one thing, we've been flying under the radar during this winning run. Not any more.

That was a very good win overcoming iffy reffing and a few brain farts of our own making.

How have I been dragged into this? Still not heard from you on your last post about my alleged "scrap heap"? Probably as there were no posts to back up your effluvium. I'm putting it down to the fact that I must have offended you in a former life or you have some challenges.

Superb win. To lead, go behind, and pull it back to win is very encouraging, especially missing 3 conversions.

Yes, Matt Parcell was robbed there. But really, isn’t this Sky MOTM thing becoming a pain in the wagging the dog? You get a really good match set up beautifully for a nerve-shredding final 10 mins and you have to hear the ever-predictable Eddie wibbering on about the MOTM choice for most of it.

But those last two tries...wow...was watching with my son who first got into SL as a 7 year old in the 2011 season and it took us both back a bit

Must also say, whoever automatically changes a**e to “booty” on this forum has to have a good look at their “inner self”

..up his own booty?

Just watched the game back. We're not as fluent as we could be but bye heck, we've got some resilience. 10/11 points down with 20 mins to go - we've shown it.

I reckon we can take anyone on bar Stains if they have they're A passing game on.

But I reckon we'll do Saints if we put our mind to it.

Coyw.

Shut down the Roby go forward and put a man like Atkins or Westwood to follow BB and frustrate the feck out of him and they'll get a thrashing.

BMM in full flight is a joy to behold but if he keeps giving away silly penalties like last night it will all be in vain.

Ratchford caught a tackle round his neck that went unpunished that was worse that the penalty Bennie gave away.

Still baffled by the penalty that Sita conceded by getting up to play the ball. How dare he!

That was basically every time sam Tomkins gets tackled and s about with defenders.

I generally don't complain about refs(not thst much) but he stank last night.

And I'm saying that AFTER a win

Me too, never a penalty and led directly to a Leeds try.

If anything BMM was gulty of over-enthusiasm. I'm sure Steve Price can teach him to be a bit more selective in this, but you have to accept that his 'full on drive at all costs' style is also what delivers tries like the one he scored tonight.

No question his try was top draw.
Contrary to the reviewed tv commentary and and many posts I've read....he didnt score the match winning try...he scored the last when we had already recovered the lead.

I didn't watch last night's game ,i had it on the radio, & it sounded like we did very well to overcome the self inflicted problems that came our way round about the hour mark. We sounded like a team very much on top & but for the problems that let Leeds back in to the game i think the result would have been even more emphatic.Great to see the Wire having the resilience to get back in to the game after going two scores behind after half time.

How are you going to do that with Atkins and Westwood, will
they be on a motorbike to counter Barba,s acceleration.

The Duck has a very simple approach to match tactics................

I stopped reading after shut down Roby. Cos you know, teams have been doing that for ten years haven't they

I think it might be a good idea to come up with some suggestions as to who we might suddenly buy ... or [iare you going to come up with this idea all season[/i. Not sure who you would go for especially as we probably have no more /or very limited money to spend.
Actually one or two clubs are struggling in this aspect.

I think we're pretty well off for goal kickers but I am puzzled as to why Goodwin is given the task. Patton, Ratchford, Charnley and Livett are all better in my opinion plus we have Brown and Westwood.

They haven't tried hard enough.

First time I've posted for a long time because actually not a lot to comment on and grew tired of the senseless bickering! (I read a lot of the posts and realize that's not changed before anyone says anything).

However last nights performance was very very good.
We weren't perfect by any means.
We should have scored more in the first 30 minutes as we were really dominant and were making meters for fun with quick ptb, whilst restricting Leeds go forward with some with aggressive defence when they tried to come out of their half - but fair play to Leeds for some good defence also.
We then lost our way a little for 30 minutes when Leeds got a roll on and we struggled to contain them. Some of their tries were very well set up, so fair play.
Now in many games that would have seen us finished - 11 points down going into the last quarter - and I didn't think they had the real character to come back in the way they did.

Unlike many on here I can easily see why penalties were given against BMM and Akauola. They were soft pens to give away but why give the ref that option? On those type of things do games turn, so I'm not criticizing the ref. We have to be smarter.
He missed a head shot on Ratch, but we need to look at ourselves before complaining about the standard of refereeing.

Livett played full of confidence and had a great game. Clear MoM for me. (He has a deceptively 'lazy' running style but a great brain).
Many others had great games, but I'm surprised no-one mentioned Chris Hill. I thought he was phenomenal.
The work in defence and attack he did was just unreal. How fit is that guy?
Then again Chris rarely has a bad game.
He took a few knocks and I'd like to see him given a rest next week because I think it would do him good for SL opposition to come. We do miss him when he's not on the field but we must learn be less reliant on him.

Finally - for me - just how good were those 2nd and 3rd Livett tries?
That was like 2011/2 stuff.
Real team effort, some great handling, good lines of running and effective inside passes and offloads.
Actually until now - even though we'd won 8 games on the trot - I never thought we really played that well or inspired massive confidence. We didn't necessarily play badly but we weren't at the level of the top 3-4 teams. I think the fixtures have favoured us in playing several 'lower' teams on the bounce (no slight intended) and allowing confidence to be built week on week through winning.
Cas were the 'top team' we beat, and I saw Leeds as a similar challenge, but we played soooo much better than we have done and overall confidence must be sky high.

Well done guys - keep it up.

Other teams have tried harder, its Warrington who have been the worse. Roby best dummy run stat of 15 by a big margin was against Warrington early this season.

Thank you.
