| Quote SmokeyTA="SmokeyTA"Think I watched a different game to a few people last night. I thought it was a really good game, I though for the large part we played pretty well, made some silly mistakes and gave away some silly penalties but we didn’t do too bad. I thought Sinfield was really good, lots of short little inside balls which made good metres, bar one kick which was an attempt at a low percentage play, he had an absolutely outstanding kicking game, Hall, Watkins, Moon did what was expected, didn’t stand out but weren’t poor, JJB was as dynamic as he always is and gave away a couple of stupid penalties as he always does. Delany played well but looked like he was in pieces.
No problem whatsoever with Hardakers first error, went for the big play, very nearly made it, I would have liked to hear Ganson’s explanation for that one, I would have seen it as grounded, tackle complete, knock-on by Hardaker and Laffranchi, a flop by laffranchi, all before I could see it as a try, but It’s not important in the scheme of things, and I would rather a young potential superstar like Hardaker continued to try the spectacular than for him to play it safe every time. We have won 6 championships in 9 years by never being afraid of trying something, lets continue that. The second error deserves a clip round the ear though. He bottled out of the challenge and let himself and his team-mates down.
Thought the refereeing left a little to be desired though, not putting any blame on him, or saying his decisions had a great effect on the game but I thought the ruck was a complete lottery with decisions seemingly made at random, and twice when saints were under pressure he stopped play and pretty much allowed the defence to rest, including one bizarre situation where leeds were 5th and last on the saints 10 with a quick PTB and he stops it for a good three or four minutes to allow Howarth to receive treatment and rejoin the defensive line. I think that needs to be looked at, otherwise id simply tell every tackler to lay down at the PTB when the opposition are near the line and wait for the delay and the defense to re-set. He also seemed to let a long time pass between a scrum being formed and it being put in without stopping the clock, including having a chat with the players a couple of times. As I say, not really a comment on the game or either teams performance but just some observations on the ref.'"
Yep think we must have been watching a different game last night.
I think the only thing I agree with in your comments is that Watkins did what was expected apart from keeping his foot off the whitewash.
Maybe I will give you the comment about Moon as well at a push. |

Thaler wasn't great first half. It felt like it was pen, pen, pen and it completely affected the flow of the first half. Along with our errors it seemed to be really stop/start.
Btw, it was a head injury so I think the ref is duty bound to stop the game? It was clear from the replay that Moore fell right on his swede so there was no play acting. Danny McGuire on the other hand... |

Yes we can, you have an inability to hold a regular beat and your mother made a mistake.
BOOM.
Do you want some Savlon for that burn? |

Last night was disappointing, especially given the good start with us leading 16-0, but its not the end of the world. I think if we fix up a couple of issues we'll be fine.
As noted by others, we've developed a tendency in the last few games of forwards jumping out of the line in defence. I noticed it in 2 or 3 of Huddersfields tries and at least 2 or 3 of Saints tries. We seem to be getting drawn in to the ball carrier more than we were early in the season and that's opening up gaps.
Fix that up alone and I reckon we beat both Huddersfield and Saints.
In attack, we aren't getting the ball wide very well and I agree that the problem probably lies at hooker. Burrow's first instinct is to run, not pass. Which is why, in my opinion, it worked so well bring him off the bench or sharing the hooking role with a proper hooker.
I also think we're very poor at running lines for the halves at the moment.
On the plus side we seemed to still be able to make plenty of ground without Peacock, I thought Vickery did pretty well and Sinfields long kicking game was superb.

This a key point in regards to our attack in the final 20m. Not enough is happening off the ball, it seems whoever has the ball the other 12 just stand watching at times.
We line up very flat in attack and we just don't create enough, if any, confusion or doubt in the minds of the defenders. |

Compare that to Lunt's abilities near the line, or indeed a young(ish) Leeds player scoring tries like that this season wearing the no.9 shirt (in very very limited appearances on the field of play) ...  |

...his first this year. His worst season (in terms of scoring tries) since becoming a first team regular.
Bailey has a higher score count this year - now that's saying something. |

No thanks. Bit hard to burn someone when you have to point out the burn yourself.
But then you're probably used to doing most things on your own, aren't you pal? |
