I’d swap them…

Thought Lisone had his best game for a long while and like others have said Sinfield better than Frawley and O`Connor put together with his passing.
Newman wasn`t playing too bad until he got greedy with the double movement and then the diabolical pass by an International centre to prevent McDonnell getting his 5th.
Frawley stopped our attack time and time again, too slow with the kicking and some terrible short passing again that stifled our attack.
Bentley his worse game so far and ffs Handley just isn`t a centre.
I like the suggestion that Watkins could play LF and move Palasia to prop and that probably means Holroyd misses out.

You take Lisone out not Holroyd 

Spot on.

 Off the back of three very physical games I was very pleased with how we dominated up front. We could not have done that a year ago. Even Lisone dug in last night.
Three quarter line doesn't threaten as much as it should. Handley rarely tries the cut out pass. Which he should. He can cover that distance as we've seen him do it when dealing with kicks in his wing days. Newman is just erratic.
Frawley is what he is. If everyone is fit he's the one to drop out as far as I'm concerned. I'd like to see Sinfield get more minutes at hooker, I see him fitting that role far more than I see him as a half back.
Chalk and cheese in the 2nd row last night but I'll cut Bentley a bit of slack as he's been good through a tough run of games.
We still make some shockingly dumb plays. Newman, Frawley, O'connor, Holroyd, Handley all threw in the odd shocker and there were others.
Overall OK though I'll hope for better next week. 

Sinfield currently the best hooker in the club. His passing is so crisp and actually makes some DH breaks. I’m not sure he can get through the defence work of JOC but I’d rather see him play longer minutes.
Lisone plays like he usually does against weaker packs. Just rather he did it against the best. 
I’m a big fan of BA and it’s a shame he it looks like he will leave at the end of the season. Our attack is total garbage though. It’s the reverse of what the RS sides used to turn out. 
It seems like Langley will be lined up to take over as head coach. Lets hope he can be replaced by an assistant who can get the attack going. 

The speed both physically and mentally at Dummy half and First receiver isnt there... so the shape thats been set becomes too flat or over-runs the play - or the opposition has closed it down before it happens -  having a winger and a terminally impatient kid for centres doesnt help matters either... Its been the case for some years now  that we have some really good players but notneccessarily really quick/ smart ones, but its getting better. Its been a while since i felt sorry for an opposition for having to deal with a big strong and relentless Leeds pack but i did last night.

Defensively we are light years ahead of last year. Thought BA nailed it in his interview last night. Huge physical effort is just expected now, let the forwards do their job, spine work on the back of that. He did say he's seeing progress in the attack but also said we need to demonstrate it soon, not just talk about it. 

I'd love to know what Rohan was thinking when he brought in Frawley....... 

Pack performed well again, and on the whole we defended well, especially when down to 12 players for 20mins, niling a team is always good, no matter the quality of the opposition. 

Attack still not the best, Frawley the issue, Connor did his best to sort the attack on his own. 


Ive been impressed with Sinfields defence these last few games, he should defs take Frawleys spot while Croft is injured, im sure he would improve on Frawleys attack. 


Great 4 tries for McDonnell, running great lines and been in the right place at the right time pays off. 

Agree on McDonnell, Connor. Early days I know, but getting Connor in may just be one of the most astute signings of the season. 

Agreed, Connor has been very good so far
