Quote: Marty Grrrrrrrrrr! "Yep good honest press conference. The only thing i would disagree with is that the 2nd half disipline cost us and we started the game ok. We didnt. The 1st 15 mins was awful giving restart sets and high tackles aplenty and gave Catalans a lot of early ball which led partly to the 2nd half i thought. We did too much defending early on.
We then got to grips with the game for the remainder of the half and played some lovely stuff. 2nd half was probably worst half of the season???
Pleased he said he had to rotate his middles due to the obvious workload on their shoulders. There are people on here whos views i respect and I believe know the game better than most but when we lose get a little silly for an hour or 2 and then go back to their sensible views again.
Too many errors, too many penalties, 50% completion rate, poor poor kicking game. I suspect players like Gale, Dwyer, Sutcliffe, Leeming and even Prior will not be enjoying the review this morning at Kirkstall.
A self inflicted loss.'"
I’ve never understood what your issue with Leeming is. If he was a bit more explosive in the tackle at times, he’d be top level. But Dwyer, I don’t think people understand how much the headless chicken act saps the energy out of the whole team. It looked like real desperation stuff at the back end of the first half, like we were chasing the game in the last few minutes of the game. Composure and control were needed, but that was the opposite.
