Again defence and the basics let the team down.
I'm not stating Leeds would have won if Buderus had stayed on....but what a horrible difference when he went off. Just watched the match again on sky after getting back and it wasn't even mentioned he had gone off. Why was Smith filling in ? Terrible.
The only players to emerge with any credit were Sinfield and to a lesser extent Webb. Burrow was awful, but the forwards gave no platform.
Lauititi and Hauraki should not start ( both are bench players, Lauititi especially)
AND AGAIN why is Kirke in the team at the expense of Ambler ? What was the worth in recruiting Cross ??
