I agree. Plus shipping 27 pts doesn't do us any favours... but a number of games in a short space of time and tight turnarounds doesn't help either.

I want to see games decided on ability and at full strength.

If this world cup debacle is not being rectified and we cant get the Aussies and Kiwi's over we need to knock it on the head and get the season stretched out instead of ludicrous 3 games in 10 days nonsense thats repeatedly happening to teams. We need to be showcasing our game at the highest performance levels and at the moment we are seeing more and more fatigued teams playing punch drunk half cocked squads.

Maybe Agar did make a couple of mistakes last night, but I still think the ledger is balanced in his favour. The most crucial mistake was made by the video ref. Players make errors because they are often injured and exhausted, which hopefully we can accept as fans. Hicks failure to note the clear video evidence can only suggest he'd popped out for a brew, missed it, and just assumed Kendall had got it right. Genuinely a massive call in the context of the game and I sincerely believe Leeds would have won otherwise. Would love to hear Hicks explanation, but will more likely hear that Agar is up before the beak for insubordination. None of this is meant to decry Warrington, who I thought were excellent to watch.

Dumb rugby by some of our players (along with a horrendous VR decision) cost us the game not Agar.

Quite, 6 up with 5 minutes to go we should have been able to manage that

Newman and Prior bombing an easy score didn’t help either

Leeds bombed it. Not playing Vuniyayawa when the pack was exhausted is absolutely inexcusable. Dealing with awful refs is to be expected nowadays for all SL teams.

We have a lot to be excited about still. I think if we can retain Holroyd and Martin, bring in Austin and a top winger similar to Scott Donald alongside Handley then we would be genuine contenders next season.

1. Myler
2. Scott Donald type winger 3. Newman 4. Broadbent 5. Handley
6. Austin 7. Sezer
8. Oledzki 9. Leeming 10. Prior
11. Bentley 12. Martin
13. Tetevano

14. Dwyer
15. Smith
16. Holroyd
17. Mellor

Their last Try was a DH run at a gassed & injured Tetevano & Dwyer we had an unused Prop on the bench & a lad used to playing 9 carrying the kicking tee & water.
Agar cost us as much as any plater his selection & squad rotation were shocking lsst night.

Yeh got to agree with most of this.
The team made mistakes in the last few minutes.
But Tetevano was clearly gassed - he’s coming off a 6 week lay off with COVID, no wonder!
Poor decision to play him so long when we have King on the bench.
And in hindsight, a poor decision to play Briscoe at dummy half. O’Connor was the obvious choice.
Dwyer was also gassed after playing for so long, so it was a big risk.
But Agar has credit for me, especially with Kev leaving.
I think he’ll be disappointed with some of his decisions this morning though….

People are forgetting the first half. We gifted them two tries straight after we’d scored through dropped balls from the kick offs and lazy D from Prior. That was nothing to do with Agars use of subs. Warrington had no ball in the first half yet scored 2 try’s

The 2 aren't mutually exclusive all the factors mentioned contributed to defeat including agars decisions.

I do agree Seth re Agars subs, it certainly didn’t help but for me the weight of the blame is on the players. We were the best side imo and should have won comfortably

Looked like a panicking side last night at times. If we had a 2015 sinfield we win. 6 points up with 5 mins left close the game out. Basic set then kick into touch. Level with 2 to go and in position to attempt a drop goal and we run it to the edge. OK that failed, kick into the corner and trap them. Play the long game. Don't go for a 1 in a hundred drop goal attempt that gifts then position.

Enough has been said about the controversial try, but wire scored 21 other points aswel.

Overall though a positive performance. Maybe our best hope is hull kr don't play enough games to qualify.

Looking forward to Cas now

Lol careful you're not far off a Daryl Powell impression with that comment.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but expect Gale to be banned for the Cas game if similar incidents are anything to go by this season. Charnley held up in the first half, Williams shoves Gale and Gale comes back to shove Williams but Kendall is in between them. Gale had both hands on Kendall, and noticably nudged him as he reached round to tap Williams. Whats worse is he laughed in a joking manor with Williams as he did it. But. We all know, you should never touch the ref.

Shame we can’t have an adult conversation. Oh well..
