Ive put the darts on...

Tanginoa just does not look interested. Moping about on the fringes whilst the rest are struggling. He needs some serious time out to find his mojo as we're carrying a passenger.

Jowitt will be lucky not to cop a ban for the flying knees on Newman.

You really are an OTT prima Donna. We are crap today but recruitment has nothing to do with, act your age.

Agreed.

I'm not enjoying this.

Lino just not ready for a return on that first half showing.

How can you give Saints a game, and now this?

To be honest two of the three early signings had problems with injuries plus we knew that even when the season started we would still have three players recovering from injury.
We thought prop would be a problem which it is but currently we are not able to fill this deficiency in any other department.

Walker should have been in the 17 and Kay on the wing.

I noticed a crusher tackle on Johnson when we scored.

Referee has been poor and also missed a fair bit but Trinity way off tonight…

Why hasnt it recruitment is supposed to make you better not weaken you face facts vasty now its us or toulouse for the drop hopefully its them but its gonna be tight.unless you want to celebrate another defeat

Well when the new signings were playing we were doing OK. Now none of them playing we looked all over the place.

Ultimately today we had two second rows in centre, a hooker at stand off and Lino didn't look ready.
Tanginoa didn't look fit either.

I would suggest you never go into coaching albeit you spotted the deficiency out wide, unfortunately Leeds did. It was obvious that Batchelor was running on empty having to play at centre.
I will be interested to see Tanginoa tackling statistics because he appeared to be taking on the Leeds middle along with Fifita, with not a lot getting through.

Out enfused tonight, I thought Leeds where not only massively up for it as you would expect but also played well and were clinical when they needed to be. We have had lots of disruption in the squad and today we simply weren't good enough, let's move on... we've come close a few times against good opp and had a tough old start to the season, I'm sure a win is just around the corner, I still have confidence in the boys and Willie.

As I said, we ought to be able to...... I still say we should have been able to. We just didn't.
It was obvious where they were going to win it with no centres and Miller off too.

Tanginoa hit hard but missed a lot.
Battye ran well but kept giving the ball away.
Fifita was strongest but no one followed him.

Just a poor day at the office today.

Credit to the players for keeping going, but the damage was done in the first half. Leeds were faster, stronger and had a clear game plan to make the most of our make shift centres. Nobody seemed to know who was taking who which resulted in nobody taking anyone.

Two rookie errors compound matters, shame for Murphy but at least his errors were not the reason we lost.

On recruitment, if he becomes available we should do all we can to bring Andrew Fifita over.
I don’t rate Batty at all and while I understand the constraints of the budget we bought the Batty we saw at London and got something more akin to his Aunty Nora.

Yusuf still needs time, he’s young and doing great but we need to use him sparingly in selected matches or we risk knocking him backwards

Tanginoa is a back rower, I know some love to say he’s a good prop and he is but he sees himself as a back rower where he made the SL Dream Team. So when he’s consistently picked at prop it’s no wonder he’s disillusioned with his life at Trinity.

Whitbread is another who’s still young, still settling in and also on the other side of the world at the relatively young age of 23.

Aroma has always done a job wherever he’s selected but after 8 years I think we’ve seen enough to know that he’s a better 13 than he is an 8 or 10.

So back to Andrew Fifita, if he’s available and we can muster up the money then I think he’d be a huge lift for the team and the club

The one big positive is that despite several hard hits Johnson showed no obvious signs of any problems.

Where’s the chairman?

Lino doesnt want to be at wakey anymore

Mr Carter wants us to be positive but in return past four/five years we’ve been given shocking results in return. They said they would spend the limited money wisely and and ended up wasting it.

Everyone knew Gaskell was a sicknote and still we signed him.

Really felt for Murphy. You could just see that he was never going to take that high ball. Nice to see the rest of the lads encouraging him after.
I doubt whether we'll see two second rowers chosen in the centres again for a long time.
At least we won the second half convincingly.

And no room for Rocky
