maybe you should point that out to the author of the match report then?

I'm sure he wasn't & had Burrow been fit or McShane performed better then I don't think he would have played. Despite playing on one leg & making few if any runs from dummy half, his speed & accuracy of pass from the ruck & his organisational skills in defence showed his value to the team.
For G1's benefit I hope that McShane was watching & learning from that.

Spot on ! (He is now becoming very much the first name written onto the team sheet). Whoops ! I forgot ...IMO.

another below par performance last night but the one thing that stood out for me was Kirke backing of a tackle on Crabtree has he brought it in at the carnegie end and his shirt grabbing patsy at griffin. Not blaming one player but it did make me cringe, always supported kirke but how he got in before the inform Ambler is anyones guess. The last 8 minutes play tbf was worth the entry money if we could only put some of that in earlier.

See elsewhere too...but don't mind repeating I think Ambler has to be at least on the bench...prob as you state in place of Kirke. He really looks the part.

Was it Kirke who bomed a certain try in the second half just next to the SS? Was furious at that.

Yes the defence is as poor as it's been for some years - we've kept the opposition to less than 20 points in only 6 out of 22 games this season. Hopefully once the team becomes more settled and the 'business end' of the season (and the CC) approaches, it will tighten up.

Unless ya play for Leeds?

What a slack c*** you are!

Yes

Yet another poor display where nothing was learned from last week. Once again no enthusiasm or hunger displayed.

Obviously you can have go's at certain players for this and that, but the two that should really hold their heads in shame on Friday are Smith and Donald. Very weak tackling from both, and back to the pea for heart commitment shown from Donald.

Again you come up with this!
If there was no hunger or enthusiasm we'd of lost and lost heavily.
I agree the performance wasn't the best but still better than last week imo and they still had the enthusiasm,hunger and desire whatever you want to call it to come back and beat a play-off team.
I think Smithy was the most dissapointing in terms of defence along with Kirke.
They also didn't let 2 controversial tries get them down and bounced back we are struggling to get to our best no doubts but you can't win a game at this level without enthusiasm and hunger.

Lee Smith's form is worrying, we will look a lot better when Webb is back IMO.

Indeed. His kick returns especially arn't up to scratch at the minute.
