One of the turning points for me was taking the two early on in the second half when we had a bit of a roll on, i said at the time that it sapped all our momentum, score then to take it out to 3 scores and we win IMO

Cuthbertson isn’t a prop IMO, he’s better of at loose forward

That's a fair point but its a team low on confidence trying to creep over the line - sad its come to this

He is not quick enough to play loose forward - he just needs to get on with leading from front and running at the line at the best speed he can not in his half-d current fashion so he doesn't get hurt.

Looks like Toronto are taking a leaf out of our book. Which is good for us. Every cloud n all that.

He’s quicker than JJB who has been playing there!

Anyway if im trying to pick any positives I though the following went ok

Ward
Both Briscoes
Parcell
Thompson

Just because he is quicker than a player than should have retired in 2015 isn't saying much. My idea of a loose forward - Sean O'Loughlin - who would leave Cuthbertson for dead in a sprint despite being older.


I thought Ward was pretty average, his injury can't have helped - Ton Briscoe was OK, Dwyer in the first spell, Parcell looks like Moon he is on the plane. The rest pretty dire.

Christopher surely you must be ignoring Luke Briscoe from a defensive point there? He was absolutely awful defensively, and with kicks. Same for Thompson defensively, he also looked very suspect.

Id usually watch it back to see whether my opinion from the live game matches my opinion after watching it on tv, but I don’t think ill bother watching it again.

The whole team was suspect in defence, im just trying to get some crumb of comfort from our attack which did look slightly better.

As I say I would usually give it a rewatch to watch closer but I’m not a sadist.

Dont blame you

Watching Leeds at the moment is akin to sticking hot pokers in your eyes.

They will survive, either because they will make the top 3 or the ref will bizarrely have a shocker in the MPG.

Without Leeds most SL clubs are in deep poop

The mental fragility of this side in such a game might require more than the efforts of just one extra man.

This team keeps surprising me at how bad they actually are. I’m starting to think we don’t have the mental strength to win any game if it’s close. We’re weak, when the pressures on we fold.

Relegation isn’t as unlikely as I have been thinking. I also think we’d have been better off with McDermott finishing off the season, we’ve deteriorated even more since he left (should have gone last season).
