The highlights of the match for me were:
1. The two tries we scored
2. Shouting at players
3. Drinking beer

It is not "having a pop" GF it is just telling you that we know the club is in a total mess as we all keep saying ourseves, but we don't need constant lectures about it, that is all! you go on and on, many of us have been with the club from the start and we know what has gone on and Yes we are sick and fed up!

Crowd banter was good, rest was a bit of a shocker

I enjoyed the kids playing before the game and at half-time, if only coz it shows how some people can enjoy the game. We seem doomed to watch this pitiful excuse of a side indefinitely, if DH told us we were getting rid of RP at least we could see a glimmer of hope on the horizon. Communication between the club and fans has hot an all time low.

We actually looked a well-coached side for a good proportion of Saturday's game - in control of field position and able to build pressure. Some good individual performances and the Gower-Bailey combo looked good. But there ends the good news.

To my mind, it was the selection/use of players that was the major problem. 3 centres used - Lovell, JOC and Channing; 2 of those probably won't ever make it at centre, the third is a decent prospect but needs easing into an established playing structure. Like someone else said, the use of JOC at left centre made no sense when Howell was available. (Just on JOC - he has been appalling and he looks shorn of any belief. He could still be a good winger/FB but he needed taking out of first grade at least 12 games ago).

So, no surprises that we eventually get battered via the centre/3rd man in channels.

Re. forwards. I don't understand why Channing came on at right centre and Lovell got moved to left second-row when Gower left the pitch. Surely - surely - the sensible move would have been Bolger on and not Channing. Don't think Bolger got any game time. And I don't understand the (under-)use of Krasniqi. The kid comes on and makes a line break with his first carry and then hits the ball up a couple more times; about 8 minutes on and then off, not to reappear. He looked devastated when hauled off. The kid is a coach's dream. Runs hard, PTB quickly, mobile, aggressive defender. If I could be d, I'd pull up his stats and compare them with Bryant and Wheeldon - he makes more metres per carry and is a better defender than both. I don't get it.

EDIT: Haha. Just realised Bolger was 18th man.

Still Bolger on the bench before Channing would have made more sense.

Makes 2 of us that don't get it!
we had Leeds pinned down in their half for about the first 15-20 mins of the 2nd half, any other team would have got 2 or 3 scores in that time and got back on terms! But not us! We only score after Leeds gave us a gift with the pass to the invisible man that gave Dixon his try!Left at 12-40 , had seen enough but it became 12-44 while making a quick trip to the Gents on the way out and by the time we'd got out of the Stoop heard the cheers which must have meant another try! And yet we couldn't find a way through in spite of all that possesion / field position!

And there was i going to join in and back you up on my favourite bitch at RP

GF I asked you not to spout attendence figures because you are like a terrier with a bone. I may be wrong but I think it is the first time I have mentioned this to you. There is no getting away from it you go on and on and on about them. We all know how bad they are , we sit there looking around and wish it were different and we dont need you reminding us. You have some ideas which are really good and you talk a lot of sense at times but to me the constant attendence rally is boring - that's my opinion and we are each allowed an opinion as long as it is not hurtful or snide. However I am at a place where because I am bored of atendence figures I will skip them and I could possibly miss some of the good things you say.

p.s. You didnt answer my questions

You managing to swap your child for a beer was the one of the most impressive things I've seen at the stoop.

I quite enjoyed showering Craig Gower with abuse while he was trudging up the sideline in defence after booting the ball away on the 3rd tackle when we were attacking the Leeds line. At least the silence in the stands means they can hear you at least...

That move you are talking about Listy just about sums our attack up-ran out of players, ran into a cul de sac so they kicked a nothing kick to them.

You just let us know when its ok for us to start getting annoyed with your pointless and endless marketing and attendance borefest then please. Thanks.

I find your bleating more tedious tbh.

It won't stop me though

Surprised no-one has mentioned the final play before the half-time hooter:

There we are 10 metres away from the Leeds try line with 10 seconds remaining and there is a knock-on from the Rhinos, quick form the scrum to stop the clock, the crowd (well about 10 kids!) starts to count-down the clock, 10, 9, 8....... come on get the scrum formed....... 7, 6, 5, 4...... well are you going to?........ 3, 2, 1...... phew just in time, oh no perhaps not!!!! Hooter sounds, what a complete f***ing shambles.



And as for that kick on the third, well I was for once speechless in the stand.

I walked out with 10 minutes to go at 12 - 38, and wasn't in the slightest bit surprised to see that we had conceded more by the time I got home.

On another note, is it me or have the cowgirls also seem to not be bothered that much, only 5 in the pre-match 'entertainment'.

I have no problems with Craig Gower - Test match and Origin veteran - kicking on the third if he thinks it represents a good option as he sees it on the field.

One of our worst features is our utter predictability.

So basically Gower is infallible?

Will be interesting to see how the team are going to perform without Gower.

If I were him, I wouldn't be rushing myself back from injury.

Well we've been s***e with him.......

Is there anyone who can step up from the U20s or will we have to play Rinaldi there?

Dorn Witt Rinaldi Randal Sarg

Oscar Thomas the curly haired (LMFAO) 6 from the 20's.

Kaufusi- he should have a good understanding of the role of the first reciever as he's normally stood next to him resting, hands on hips.

Dorn wont get a game even if we only have 12 fit players- he must have took the towel to task for not having a clue what he is talking about.

Dave, shouldn't that be:
