We are so starved of success that we cling onto any positives we can. The problem is it is still another loss against an unusually poor Leeds team. We did defend well and put in a lot of effort but we lacked any structure in attack, which resulted in two points lost. This match actually followed most of our performances this year, the difference was that Leeds were the worst team we have come up against.
It’s up to the club and the coach to decide what they need to do because we are staring relegation in the face.

He's from Wakey most understand he probably loves the club he's supported as a lad does it make him the right man to be Head Coach?

If a player isn’t sure he’s tackled, gets up and plays on the ref almost always calls him back to play the ball. In theory it’s a penalty but it’s a judgement call by the player in the heat of the moment and I’ve rarely seen it penalised. I think the ball steal at the end should have been treated the same. It was a poor decision by Hicks - one of several for both sides - and it was an absolutely crap way for the game to be decided.

That's actually a very good point.

We lost to a team that was even worse than us and I suppose that sums it all up.

Right now ive calmed down and thought about it

Really cant fault the effort esp reece tini pitts ashurst and of course westerman.people saying our defence was great well it was in regards pur goaline defence that was great but defence elsewhere where wasnt leeds who are a poor side made meters down the field with ease look at the decieding play we had them in own 20 to 25 on 3 tackles they where 20 meters out come the penalty.attacking wise its nothing short of pathetic we dont have any attack what so ever.another game where we have gone best part of 60 mins without a try.leeds are not at present a good side and have won 3 out there last 9 games all against us.so while it was close game its certainly another lost we should and could of won.the penalty decsion was in my view wrong and xould be labled a plain cheating by hicks as already pointed out neutrals watching the game said all 50 50 went leeds way but had jay not of took the ball gale would of kicked a drop goal so no blame on pitts.we have now lost 9 on bounce if we lose next week v kr it will be 10 for what i believe will be 10 in a row for the scond time i 12 months and while i felt for cc today really looks beati but if we dont get the result next week then surley a change is needed for the benifit of the club

Overall overmoon with effort but i could go get lads from ncl who would all put 120% effort in but doesnt mean its good enough

Agree about the way the game was decided but the decision itself looked correct, the momentum was stopped and Mr Hicks had called held.
We can't be having decisions changed or ignored depending on the time of the game.
Hard luck to you, once again plenty of effort but need more in attack.
Rumour i've heard is you've got a half back coming in very shortly if a deal happens with his club and another player which would no doubt help you if true.

Got to disagree mate. That 1st half performance was shocking. The guy is getting worse just as many of the team are stepping up.

What was up with Fifita? He really didn't look up for it tonight, complained of a high shot which I don't think it was and then disappeared with a rib injury. Has he broke one?

Cracked one apparent that's not pleasant neither!

He was bent over in pain on the pitch for several minutes before he went off.

Blake austin?

No, unfortunately but he is a regular at a SL club not too far away.

Tell us then..

Your the man in the know ! You tell us.

which players are these?

And where have i said i know anything

Try your couple of rumours thread! Empty head

Well i aint got a clue and my rummers wearnt too bad to be honest i know milners not signed but there are reports we are after him

Aidan Seizer????

Been thinking of what alan c said and i can only think of a couple he says a half back who plays Regular for sl team close by so to me thats hudds cas or leeds and can only come up with gaskill are hudds wanting to bring somone in and need cap space or lui again are leeds wsnting to bring somone like austin but need quota spot....saying that it could just be a wind up from a leeds fan

Well after seeing how pathetic the go forward was last night, I’d say a halfback is the least of our priorities right now.

I don't think I can ever remember a set (that didnt include a mistake) where on the 5th tackle the team was kicking from within their own 10 after having made literally 0 metres. Throughout the game I watched as we perpetually had the backs bringing the ball out on the first 3/4 tackles and routinely getting nowhere, only to not change tack when it was obvious it wasn't working (even more obvious than usual). It's no wonder we can't score when we spend 90% of the game in our own 30/40. Absolute madness.

Only 2 with any go forward were Westy and Tanginoa, rest of the team were completely dominated in the collision, meaning Leeds were allowed that extra few seconds to slow the play of the ball down, although I think Hicks got a few key calls wrong last night, I thought he reffed the ruck to the flow of the game. I saw some comments on Lino, I thought he made some errors but his performance was desperate and I`m not sure what we can expect from him in terms of a kicking game when we give him the ball on the last tackle, on the back foot on our own 20.

On Leeds, I don`t think I have ever seen a team play as bad as that and come away with a win, seriously, they dominated possession, field position but looked as clueless as we have done this season with ball in hand, almost every time they picked the wrong option (Which is out of the ordinary for Gale) and were full of errors forcing play and whenever we got within 30 of there line we looked like scoring, outside backs looked to have zero confidence in there inside man.

Any body no what happens when Tanginoa was was tackled then throw the ball to the ground and went after the Leeds player. The ref then gave the penalty to Leeds
