After Briscoe scored they seemed to think they had won and let London pick up momentum. Those last few minutes it was obvious London were going to snatch it

Absolutely correct

indeed. was a great post for 35 minutes!!!!

On Thursday night as soon as Saints got a 2 score lead they put their foot down, scored more and completely took the game away from Shuddersfield.
We get a 2 score lead then start kicking it into touch on the last play and people sat around me were applauding it as "smart play" while I sat there shaking my head. You've got to accumulate points when on top otherwise it comes back to bite you.

Kendall did not cost us the game but some of the decisions were questionable.
For their opening penalty Pelisier forcibly plays the ball (with his foot - who does that these days?) back into Merrin who has just made the tackle but the penalty was actually for offside as we failed to retreat back the 14 metres where Kendall set the mark.
On the halfway line a London player (not sure who) steps a good metre forward off the mark making the Leeds defensive line offside. Again it is a penalty one way or the other and they get the call. They get field position from this and score. Eventually they later get penalised for stepping off the mark.
I'd need to see Walker's disallowed try again but it didn't scream obstruction to me. Maybe Sutty ran through the line and he ran round the back?
I also recall a London player going down when they had a scrum about 10 metres from their tryline. 2 of their players checked he was okay then left him. Kendall stopped the clock, did not deploy the shot clock and they had a nice rest before the player got up and packed down. I appreciate that there may have been head injury concerns but his team mates did not seem bothered about him and I thought that the shot clock was supposed to get away from this sort of thing (or have I misunderstood?).
Of course these things are soon forgotten if we play well and win and to reiterate Kendall did not cost us the game but it is still frustating.

Even the pitch looked poor!

Got a great ground though

For all the talk of being an unrivalled match day experience at headingley it's going to die on its backside if the product on the field continues to fail

Keep checking BBC website in hope of a front page headline of FURNER RESIGNS FROM RHINOS... nothing yet!

One of many things that I just don't understand right now is recruitment. Having off loaded Walters, Mullaley and others, I was stupidly thinking that this was creating space under the salary cap. Nothing! Meanwhile, Hull and Catalan bring in decent props. Speaking of which, where is Crosby? Nothing from the club about a likely return. He is no world beater, but we could use him right now.

It's astounding how a club with such an embarrassment of resources has been so poorly managed to end up in this state. The jobs for the boys approach appears to not work, though this has been a club ethos for years from scholarship level upwards. I'm sure JJB and McGuire will have roles next year.

Or Sinfield resigns?

Heard nothing in recent weeks. He was supposed to have a chance of being fit for the Wakey game a few weeks ago, but then it all went quiet. And Garbutt was released for spending too much time on the treatment table. Sinfield has some serious questions to answer.

Did anyone look at the London stats? Never seen that before, 64 missed tackles, double our own. How the hell do you manage to lose to that sort of defending.
