50 tackles, no misses. People cream their pants when JJB gets close to that and misses half a dozen tackles, but a player returning from injury puts his body on line none stop and it's questioned. The guy was phenomenal defensively, making up for others around him.'"
If the stats are saying he had zero missed it's wrong, I watched the final 20 mins earlier today and he missed two in that alone. Shot ahead of his outside defenders a couple of times and why Leigh got joy down their left in the final period and he didn't offer much with ball in attack. One of our few chances near their line in the 2nd half he chucked one into Watkins from a yard away when Golding was the right option out the back.

| i'd have run that penalty. against 12 men, who were shattered, how low is our confidence and self belief to take the 2?

| Regardless of Ward's motm credentials, he's an excellent player. I want him match fit and I want him in the side.

| That two points prevented Leigh from kicking a penalty to win the match or slotting a drop goal to equalise. It meant they had to score a try to win. When it was a shot for two directly in front of the posts and when our attack is $hite, it was clearly the correct decision. We must take any easy shots at goal whilst McNumb remains in charge as our attack will not improve whilst he is at the helm.

| Quote: Exeter Rhino "I take Gotcha's point that not taking the 2 would have left us vulnerable to losing the game by conceding a penalty.
Still a bit negative though. Against 12 men against a recently promoted team they should have backed themselves to get over for a try or get a repeat set (not that they seem to be interested in the latter these days...). I was a bit disconcerted that McGuire seemed to argue with John Wells at the touchscreen that dying in possession on the 6th was a good outcome vs the risk of gifting them a 7 tackle restart. That said, maybe we need to be safety-first until we've a few more wins under our belt.'"
I don't disagree at all on the negative point. And I certainly don't disagree on your second point of negativity.
But regardless of negative, it proved the right decision made and ultimately won us the match, so nobody should be moaning about it. We have lost so many matches over last twelve months by not taking that option, and last night proved differently.

Leigh hadn't scored their 3rd try at the point so it's not a gimme that it would've been a 1 or 3 point game going into the final minutes.
And yes our attack was poor and this decision saw us have to collect a kickoff from our own in goal and try and attack from there.

But we didn't, and we didn't plenty of other times we had the ball in Leigh territory, same as we didn't the week before in Saints territory. But what we did though is ensure that Leigh had to score a try for us to lose, which ultimately proved to be the totally correct call, so it is quite easy for me to say it was correct.

| Don't see the point of debating it when we won tbh. I thought it was the right descision at the time, as it made sure a penalty wasn't enough.
Could we have tapped and scored, maybe, did it matter, no.

I think Terry O' Connor nearly orgasmed late in the game as Leigh went close to pinching it. There was a long audible moan of excitement in the background that tapered off to a groan without a single word being spoken. Very worrying, especially as he has never been so close to orgasm when Leeds go close to snatching a win.

O'Connor made Clarke sound good. When they all agreed that Hall had been obstructed for Leigh's 2nd try he said that no Leeds player had been impeded from making the tackle.
