Thought Duckworth did really well - he looked strong running it in and not afraid to mix it up with the big boys. He did what he had to last night and didn't look out of place at all. One thing though, I did notice he spilled the ball a couple of times in the tackle. Now that could have been nerves or that he's not used to the intensity of SL tackling but hope it's not a chink in his armor.

It was quite embarrassing to be honest to be in such an arm wrestle. I do not know how they came so close to us. Thaler kept them in it a lot, two of those disallowed were harsh.

Have to bang on about it again, Kirke was shocking. His defending for that Poore try really poor, then he got knocked on his backside with ease at the play the ball before Wakey last try. Didn't he knock on twice also?

We did miss McShane last night, well we missed an hooker, struggled in that department.

FB-When did Duckworth lose the ball in the tackle mate?
I saw Ablett ,Burrow ,Sutcliffe,Kirke and Moon knock on/lose ball in contact but not JD!!

Unless I'm confusing Duckworth with Sutcliffe about half way through the second half we made a half break and he brought down on about the 40m mark.

You're living in your own little world aren't you? If we'd had a decent stand off playing then you'd have lost but Wakefield lost it with 5 mins left due to school boy errors rather than Leeds win it. We also had poor squad selection due to Kirmond getting injured putting Lynne on bench and not playing him so we played only 16 during game. Wildie (hooker/stand off) should have been there and come on in last 20. Kicking last plays to your world class backs is also and we should have been kicking dead and setting up our defence.

Thaler actually made a terrible mistake which led to Ablett try. Did you actually see the game?

Your excuse for losing is Kirmond being injured and bad calls from the ref.

Have you seen the injury list we STILL have?

Next you'll chelping on about how Leeds have the RFL in their back pocket.

As I said earlier, the sooner the league gets reduced to 12 teams, the better.

If... would... should's.

You were lucky we were off the boil as we should have put 50 past you!

To be honest mate where we were on the NW corner i thought it was Sutcliffe and there was one where Ali knocked the ball out of his hands aswell and Thaler waved play on!!

Is that so you don't have to travel to London and Cas?Salford ???
Also you may struggle to finish above half way.

Sutcliffe did make a couple of handling errors.

This was always going to be a difficult match for us with injured players returning and youngsters still adjusting while Wakefield with their ex Leeds rejects up for it to try and make a point. However the main positive we can take from this is the never say die mental attitude is still there and will have been an important lesson for the youngsters. Other good things were BJB our form winger and not bad at FB, the debut of Duckworth and Sinfield's kicking boots.

Notice you choose not to bang on about Ablett's errors fora couple of their early tries!




But not more than McShane struggled last week!

You can be assured I would be if it was happening every week. One week no.

Surely you are not going to defend Kirke this week? If I am been honest he may not have been the worst. But it's the same poor performance every week.

What like last week? Wind it in will you?
You have a world class back line but were lucky to win end of. You had more composure at key times. Off the boil has nothing to do with it.

As for the other ridiculous comments about going down to 12 teams how is that going to affect Wakefield Trinity Wildcats at 9th?

Two of rhinos tries were from forward passes clear to see in the highlights.
