Wilkes in yipee

L38 WTW 36

7 mins to go......

Forward pass, after we get the ball back argggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh

Leeds score, flipping rubbish wakefield

Game over. Never forward

We havent played for 8 days and we cant tackle somebody who has 5 players round him, thats really crap... 8 point gap thats it, 4 mins left

L 44 WTW 40 Fox in

If he picked mariano and johnson, we would be stronger in defence, but he will not

Thats it we have lost

44-40 how can you score 40 points away and lose? Some awful play. Knocking on from kick off, knocking on from the scrum, mouthing off and giving penalties. That game was there for the taking and we blew it

How many teams will go to leeds, score 40 points and LOSE!

Before the hull lot start. That was the players not Agar responsible for that

Can you bring that defence to Odsal please! Could be a similar game in a few days!

Ha. It very easily could be. Have a few injuries don't you?

Erm yeh just a few! I don't think we're expecting anyone back for a couple more weeks yet either.

As long as Jeffries forgets his kicking boots....

Yeah, this is a weird one..... both two of our better players last season, both struggled to get a look in this term...

Re Mariano and Johnson.
You cannot play everyone all the time.
Do they warrant a place ahead of Raleigh,Wilkes,Amour , Southern,Ali,Kirmond,Washy?
Maybe a case for being ahead of Trout and Walshaw, but then the coach is criticised for not playing the younger players.
Who would be a coach?

Mariano and Johnson are still pretty young

FWIW, I dont think last night was lost in the forwards, we missed tackles out wide and in broken play, not through the middle.
Trout looked to have a decent game.
Obviously, with 84 points scored in 80 minutes defences on both sides were not good enough, time to move on and focus on beating the Bulls.

Does anyone know When we last scored 40 points against Leeds at Headingly?

Did we get 40 when we played them at Easter a few years back just days after getting smashed by Hudds?

it's criminal to score 40 and not win.

end of. some people seem pleased with our score and not that critical of our shameful defense. the first two tries for leeds were almost full legnth kick returns after we got in decent positions, basic stuff really, following a kick and securing the returning player.

Agreed, we could and should have won that game quite easily, and it really is frustrating at the silly basic mistakes they are making.
