Was carefully watching re catalans off side and the majority of the time when leeds fans were calling fot it it wasnt.

The ref marked the ten and retreated a couple more metres!

Close to the line they were no more offside than leeds were when defending.

It's certainly noticeable how the reigns have been pulled in isn't it regarding the Harlem Globe Trotters approach

There's definitely more emphasis put on gaining field position followed by a better kick chase, our defensive structure looks much better, especially in our own 10 meters, although Weller did look out of sorts in the D whilst he was on, although I'm not writing him off yet !
I thought JP's workload was fantastic whilst he was on the field, Sinny was absolutely brilliant, he came up with numerous plays of the highest order and spotted options that only special players can

IMO Buderus was class whilst on the field, although he was spelled you could certainly see a change of tempo/direction whilst he was on the field.He's as hard as nails in defense and i hope we can keep him for one more season

Couldn't agree more G1

Although we didn't put as many points on board as we would have liked in the 1st half, the damage was certainly done in those relentless defensive sets that the Dragons had to endure

I hope we can produce more of our first half performance this season, if we do then we wont be far off running the big boys close or actually beating them in the games that matter at the business end

Still not sure on huraki on his defence.

The try from dummy half was sloppy defence from
him and should have done better. But in general much better and agree we do seem
to have gone away from hot potato rugby constantly and concentrated
more on posession and being patient.

Peacock is emmense and you don't realise how much work he gets through until you are without him for a bit. Good go forward good defence does long spells and has a offload game. Also seems to have a lifting effect on players around him

JP is a winner he was with bradford and has been with us, it's all he knows but he sustains that hunger and will to win like no other player

When he pressured Tomkins into the mistake last season which gave us the field position to win the game in the CC quarter final sticks out in my mind, also the way he reacted to the catalans try he was fecked right off that we'd let them in. Thats good to see though, he knows a good d is as important as a good attack

His quantity is still there, remains to be seen whether his work with ball in hand will return to the same quality it was before the injury.

He doesn't have the drive back in his legs just yet IMO to power through people in the way he's done in previous years.
