| What can you say - the weather meant it was never going to be a classic but I wasn't expecting something a poor as what was on show last night. For supposed elite RL it was a terrible advert for the game - two very poor sides showing why they are in the league positions they are.
The completion rate must have been well below 50% from both sides - I was not expecting a Salford side to perform that badly.
Leeds had a bit of luck that has deserted them in the past weeks - the Salford knock on over the line in front of the Southstand when it must have been easier to score. The Sau knock on in the second half when all he had to do was catch and run straight etc.
The effort was there but Leeds have played much better than this and got beaten - turgid would be an understatement for the game as a spectacle. The collective nail biting in the crowd shows how bad things have become.
This was a much stronger Leeds side with only 5 missing - I discount Hardaker now - yet any decent side would have blown them away once again. The attack simply doesn't function, something has to change we are clueless not just in the opponents 20 but at crafting clean breaks mid field. The defence was as it has been all season just the opposition didn't have the quality to expose it. Warrington/Cas/Wigan would all have put as many points on the defence last night as the did in the actual games they played. The notion that the defence is better the last two weeks is more about the two sides Leeds have played - both were well below what they are capable off - than the Rhinos improve defensive rigidity.
Garbutt had another excellent game, Falloon added something in defence, Galloway was committed but he so slow, it like watching a liner cruising on the ocean. Cuthbertson looks a shadow of the player he once was, if he is homesick then Leeds need to let him go. Of the rest Sutcliffe went OK bar the drop from the high kick on his own line - of the rest the less said the better.
The worst game between two of the poorest sides I have seen in many years - a win is a win.

The shame!! I truly hope no kids were about.
And it's impossible to ignore you, you're on virtually every page of every thread. ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif)

Well if you properly read it I ASKED if one poster was wrong about one player. The difference is Nantwich last week telling several posters who went to the game they were wrong about the defence and that we were sh*te
Now go hook your 1st tee shot well left into the trees ![Smile icon_smile.gif](images/smilies//icon_smile.gif)

Putting is a strange beast many a time you can get to a par 5 green in two and walk off with a par or worse.
My mate is a hell of a lot longer than me off the tee but has a worse handy cap than me. Driving for show putt for the dough
