Roberts will get better as it gets warmer.
Goodwin looked good.
Defence was much better for large parts of the game.
Murdoch-Masilla will get better
Currie looked to be back to somewhere near his old self
Philbin ran strong
We played without our best prop forward = 1 less player to interchange
Leeds got beat by 66 early last year and went on to be crowned champions.

I think in the main we got what we were promised. Tough and resilient. Disappointed with the tries conceded to kicks - we didn't seem to even challenge?

Need to work on our attacking shape.glad to see the scootathon has ended - Russell looked pretty good bringing it up at first receiver.

Hi Philbin played well, deserved MoM for Goodwin I thought.

Sorry pal, but that's like Worzel Gummidge "enjoying himself"....

,,,,clutching at straws

C'mon Lefty! Its early days...and I am a natural pessimist when it comes to sport.

You must have seen something to give you a glimmer of hope?

Philbin and goodwin are our reasons for optimism from tonight.

Long way to go yet, price looked very frustrated and will hopefully be asking for a lot more from them other than another good week of training.

agreed..thought Philbin ran very well...how old is he?

Price looked frustrated about our last tackle options...we didn't put them under any pressure

King also looked a lot stronger in attack than last season

Don't get me wrong, we weren't bad....just dumb, with a good portion of laziness thrown in for good measure.

The tries conceded to kicks were PATHETIC. CONTEST THE F...ING BALL, FFS.

On tonight's showing, Roberts looks lazy and fat. FFS, He's got jowls. Needs to lay off the doughnuts.
Brown carried on from last season.

For the amount of ball we had, we should have been out of sight. Yes, we'll get better......we need to.


Oh. Anyone saying I'm negative, please read my signature on the bottom of each post.

Truth. Sometimes it hurts. But it's still the truth

I can't argue with any of that

My missus summed it up ... "it didn't look as bad as last year" ... I feel better now.

fair point! Apart from the terrible efforts to diffuse the kicks they scored off...and the terrible effort to stop Hall ...I thought the defence looked a lot more committed than last years

.....Leeds look a champion side, and look to be carrying on from where they left off...Myler slipped into his role perfectly, I said he would on here but got some negativity for saying so.

We had the worst kicking game than even under the last season of TS...that is optimism because it couldnt have been any worse...as could Ratchford or Atkins...they stunk.

Ratchfords tackle attempt on Hall was embarrassing.... As was Atkins superman impression when going for the corner.

You've clearly not read the title of this post..

Russell left for dead, Ratchford dreadful tackle attempt and it was the much maligned Hughes who chased down Hall to the line. Good effort - thought I'd mention it as no-one likes giving him praise.

I was quite happy as leeds were very good and we were not...yet we still should have won. What i don't like is that we are still STUPID on field. Aside from Atkins' mental dive he was asking the ballboy to line up the tap with 10 seconds to go...just tap it you absolute moron...and then the last play going to Westwood...amateur. Leeds could have had ten team warnings tonight but they played their penalties beautifully as Morley, monaghan and briers used to. We're still quite a dumb team. Ps ive always disliked ratchford...he disjoints a lot of things.

I had. Posted anyway.

Optimistically speaking Shudders got battered tonight and we play them next, so fingers crossed.

Currie was dreadful..... if he ran the ball with the same vigour he put into hitting Myler on last tackle kicks he'd be a world beater.

only Goodwin looked to have class...And Hill looked good....

so despite that we were beaten by 6 points and were held up over the line 3 times......


happy days

We're not bottom of the league on points difference!

I thought that was OK, as expected. We will win more than we lose I think finishing 6/7/8.
Price isn't a miracle worker as there is still not enough quality across the park in key positions. At least we competed to the end.

We won the 2nd half.

Some saying Leeds looked like the champion side they are and we looked rubbish. But we lost by only 4 points. Hmm? As for Roberts, it was his first game, and I actually thought he provided a few nice touches. Hughes looks useful in attack again. Goodwin is a keeper. Kev Brown doesn't deserve the stick that he gets. Our defence was very good and our attack looks like it has promise.

Positives are we got over the line quite a bit.
Anyone but Leeds and we'd have got the ball down.
Defense was quite solid. Had to resort to kicks for two tries.
Unfortunately we didn't even bother challenging for them.
Goodwin looks fleet footed, will be good.
All the new recruits impressed and Jack Hughes looked better.

Negatives are our kicks. Never troubled anyone all night.
Sick of seeing bombs that do jack. At least kick for the sideline. Gain ground.
Ryan Atkins swan dive. Hope he's embarassed for weeks to come.
Ratchford had a bit of a stinker.

...always better to dive low like Hall, it's almost impossible to defend against.

Get rid of the stupid & silly mistakes. Oh & get rid of Russell & i'll be a lot more optimistic
