Who's that wakey Salford Leigh Widnes can't say cas cos they hammered us

Yes we won a much better looking performance, but a couple of points one swallow does not make a spring. Secondly were Leeds good or were the Dragons terrible.

I would agree with that. But all he did is make the changes people have called for over a long time, which he previously was oblivious to. Let's also not forget Catalans were awful. I wouldn't have backed us for example to have beaten the Warrington team beaten the night before. But when all said and done, it was nice to go to a match and enjoy some of the rugby again.

Looking at some of the tries scored, it is clear that there is a long way to go...

Lots of Catalans players dropping off, e.g. for Burrow's try. At the other end McGuire made a bad one-on-one miss for one of their tries. Replacing him (with Widdop?) must still be a priority, at least for next season.

Not to say that I'm not pleased with the result. At least this game shows that we can put a game to bed when we are on top. The result takes us back to Leeds as a work in progress early in the season - thankfully the overall trajectory is still positive. The Cas game still looms large as a warning - much work to be done to prove it was a blip. Hopefully this result will give the team a bit more confidence and patience in games to come.

Almost sounds like a Karen Cunningham post defeat, post match interview.
Leeds and the coach should get the credit for this performance.Like you hope that it is backed up next week.

I would be more concerned if Catalans had been dropping off tackles all game but they weren't. So that would point more to us playing well and making them drop off tackles rather than them simply not being up for it.

The Burrow try is a great example of this in my opinion. The previous 2 runs/tackles to Burrow by (IIRC) Golding and Briscoe put the Catalans defence in disarray and opened up that gap for Burrow to force his way through. If he'd run like that at a set defence we'd have been picking him up from behind the Carnegie Stand.

That kind of work from the back 3 is back to how we were in 2015 in terms of setting up the set of 6. If we keep doing that we'll be just fine.

Coaches are rarely as good as the teams best wins, nor are they as bad as the teams worst losses.

Credit to those involved this week, it was a much better effort regardless of the quality of the opposition performance.

Are we just posting quotes now?

Do you have a view on the comment ?

Catalans missed 38 tackles in the game. That is pathetic under any standard. But to put into perspective Leeds missed 46 tackles against Cas. I would say they were dropping off tackles for much of the game, however Leeds produced some good passing moves.

Spends over a decade trolling the boards, creating threads dedicated to quoting members' previous posts throughout the seasons, with the sole intention of embarrassing them and making him feel important AND THEN... complains (in bold, italic font no less) when someone does the same to him.

Is there a psychological term for that?
