I know we conceded a try from dummy half but in recent weeks, the feeling of dread when a team gets within 10 yards of our line is starting to subside.

I'd love to see an angle of Hall's early disallowed try from the North Stand but I presume the touch judge standing a foot away had a better view than the camera from the South Stand.

The problem with hicks is that idiot cummings gave him two tjs who were less experienced than him. He had no guidance from the side.

Some praise must go to the Catalans who I thought looked very organised in all areas. It shows the depth of coaching talent in the NRL.

Peacock made a big difference tonight - he enabled us to make ground up the middle which prevented us from trying the flash stuff out wide to make progress.

On the whole a very good team performance.

Missing:
Webb, BJB, Watkins, Bailey, Cross, Clarkson, Ali

This gives the coach some options and some fresh legs towards the end of the season

Already mentioned the Dragons Sal especially their defence and attitude.
I agree with Brian Mc that it's the toughest Dragon team for a long while.

For mine I believe we won the game in the first 20 minutes. The repeat sets and constant pressure really wore the garlic munchers down, and paid dividends in the second half.

Buderus was sharp with some great scoots from DH.
Hardaker took his tries well and looks real swift, something we’ve been missing on the wing so far this season.
JP starting to regain some of his match fitness.
Smith, although not really challenged defensively did well as an attacking option.
Hall was excellent, (when was the last time he had a stinker?)
Sinny again was immense – his kick for Hardaker’s try was inspired and sublime.

On the downside Senior looked his age and made a couple of rooky mistakes and it still puzzles me as to how Hauraki manages to get a game in SL, defensively he is a liability.

TJs should have paid for a ticket each. Either that or there's a new 'ignore the offside' ruling from Cummings.

Some real positives last night against tougher opposition than the scoreboard suggests.

Sinfield had a big game with superb kick and fine cut out pass but IMO was just pipped for MOM by Buderus. When Buderus was on the field in the first half we looked sharp and we started to look disorganised while he was off. His return to the field got us buzzing again and was the turning point.

Delaney did some good work, JP is getting back to match fitness and Hardaker put a claim down for a regular place.

With McGuire set for an early return the future looks brighter.

Was carefully watching re catalans off side and the majority of the time when leeds fans were calling fot it it wasnt.

The ref marked the ten and retreated a couple more metres!

Close to the line they were no more offside than leeds were when defending.

nothing wrong with Halls try would def been awarded by a vr, great defence and pressure told in the end. Think we went over top with line kicks but were void of ideas to break down a strong defence so better than nowt. hard to pick mom because so many are begginning to find a bit of form. Peacock showing us what we have missed with those metre making charges. young Hardaker showed some real speed and didn't get caught out in defence also though Pitts had a decent game again things are definatley on the up

If it's the one I'm thinking of, he could have got the pass away but Hardaker was covered and had no space outside or inside so Buderus drew in the outside defender to try to open a gap for Hardaker but by then was wrapped-up.
Delaney's no donkey.

Tell you what, they're big lads them Catalans aren't they?

Nice to see Peacock's Mojo returning, not sure if it's his Mo or his Jo but he's at least halfway back.

Yep there's some serious "units" amongst their ranks and our pack stood up well.

One thing about catalans they have always been a very big and aggressive side but they look very well organised. Also there was a fair amount of French players which is great credit to them
