I agree, the third, fourth Leeds player flopping and slowing the play the ball down was never addressed.

There were at least 17 players worse than Child. I don't know why he is the main point of discussion.

I've got a massive willy.

There. Now both our posts are utter rubbish.

Friday night left me feeling empty to be honest. We were beaten quite easily in most departments. Our forwards were bullied, they looked lightweight compared to Wire, and lacked any sort of nasty edge that is sometimes required in certain fixtures. Our kicking game was very, very ordinary, something that has worried me for years, even when we have been winning things. Wire seemed better able to adapt to child's "slim" 10 metres, and their clever wrestle technique was allowed to kill momentum. We have not had the rub regarding refs calls all season, but It would be wrong to blame our defeat too much on a couple of bad calls, Wire were the best team in all aspects. Next week is a time to jump straight back on the horse and show everyone why we are 4 points clear. It is also time to get a little more nasty up front, that is the way Huddersfield will be, and it may be need more aggressive intent from our forwards to lay down a marker for the rest of the season.

Well said, No massive post mortem needed. we played bad across the park, Wire played well across the park and did a job on us, its how it goes.We did the same to Saints last week but they will be there abouts come season end and so will we.

I still don't think we have put in a full 80 minutes performance up to our full potential and yet we sit clear at the top with only 2 defeats. Obviously we all expect a response at Huddersfield next game, and im sure the lads will be just as determined to do just that so its over to them.

Like leeds owl says, unless we have significant improvement in our kicking game (that includes conversion kicking in addition to down towners) then I fear the worst next week; mainly because we are more than likely to lose the collision to a more physical and in form Shudderfield.

We never looked like winning that game and although 2 losses in 12 and sitting 4pts clear are very positive signs the next couple of games or so will show whether it was just a blip or not.
We were pretty poor all across the park and i include the Coach the interchange didn't work and once again we were shown to be lacking any kind of plan B.
Thursday is a big game we face another big pack & a Half back with a quality kicking game i'd hope to see 100% improvement especially in defence.
Onwards and upwards.

So by the look of it, Yates was left out so he could get some game time with Hunslet this afternoon. WT actual F?

Looks like stopping Hunslet getting relegated back to Championship One now takes priority.

Mulhern playing too?

Yates has done nothing to warrant a place yet anyway, so Hunslet best place for him.

No, but Walters is on the bench after returning from injury.
