Quote ="pies-r-us"Let’s hope that’s just a bad hair day. I still can’t tell if it’s injuries, Tommy, or the thoughts of the CC semi, but it was a definite step backwards. I always think it’s bad to blame the ref, but he was poop. We didn’t seem ever to be allowed to play the game at the pace we would have liked. Think Roby left his little yellow card in his locker, Micky Mac’s rush of blood was more of a slap than a punch, and won’t get more than a game (shouldn’t even get that for what it was) thought SoL not much of a pivot in play tonight, and Hock had a shocker. Don’t really know whether it’s squeaky-bum time or not?????

It's the loss of Leuluai and not having a replacement to step in. We've had to shift our 13 (and pivot) to 6, and shift a 2nd rower to 13 (one who can't act as a pivot). We got away with it against Wakefield because a) they're rubbish (so are Bradford to be fair), b) we didn't drop the ball every other set and c) Sam Tomkins is a rugby genius.
I haven't seen one flowing move that leads to an overlap since Leuluai broke his leg. We've simply lost that option at the moment. We need to get it back or we won't win the League/Challenge Cup/Grand Final.
