I'm unclear how people can write off Falloon on so little game time behind a pack that in the main gives no go forward, doesn't win collisions and can't get quick play of the balls. We looked much better with Falloon on than Hallas (though I agree young hallas didn't let anyone down). For me Falloon tackled well and looked to scoot on the rare occasions he had space.

On another note moon looked like the quality we have clearly bring missing through injuries. I found myself buying into GH's comments about having half the salary cap sat in the stand.

Garbutt was quality, Delaney is a wreck but gives everything, lilley needs to be told to kick for touch not hoof it to the fb. Though young briscoe tried hard to despite the screw up for Yaha's try.

Overall they were OK, best game in a few weeks which really shows how bad they have been.

Where you get Falloon better than Hallas from i do not know , once again he made little impact and his losing the ball on the first tackle in the opposition 25 when we were six points up with a chance of going twelve up was unforgivable as they went straight to the other end and levelled the scores

Thoughts on last night
1. Can't fault the effort, it is skill we are lacking, the better team won.
2. Leeds need a new prop, hooker and half back.
3. There seemed less than 14000, perhaps it's season ticket holders not turning up.

BmD seems to turn all his back rowers into bash it up the middle props. Jjb and Delaney are wrecked, Achurch was forever injured and now Ferres is being used that way.
Hell, even Watkins and the wingers are being used that way at times.

Achurch and Ferres especially always seemed to be best when playing out wider and attacking the outside defenders ,not running into traffic.

Falloon will need time to get into the swing of things and has already been mentioned defence was better.

Just hope weget the forwards back soon, especially the props and Ward.

Did Watkins play 4 in in defense? I didn't see the match.

If your criteria for good is ball retention then we best get rid of Ferris. Halls also dropped the ball in the tackle.

Falloon filled up the middle making multiple double tackles. It's no coincidence that we conceded tries when Falloon was off.

Played 3 in I think, what with Burrow not playing.

Get ready for the latest Opta stat attack on an unseen Watkins performance.

I didn't see the match, so won't be commenting on anyone's performance, but starting with our top try scorer and arguably best player this year on the bench was sending a strong message to anyone wanting to put in a good performance.

Does anyone else feel as though for a captain McGuire should be leading the team around the field, but he looks about the most clueless player on the pitch and gets caught in possession far too often?

much improved performance all round although our lack of any real options on dummy runners made it far too easy for the opposition defence to read and defend our attack

It seemed to me at the game that we dragged the Dragons down to our level of mediocrity in the second half which gave us half a chance to win, that as usual we were totally unable to take.
Yet again we were generally clueless on the 6th tackle - when we eventually managed to get that far.

A lot of us suggested he was not captain material and the club had made a mistake...have seen nothing to change that opinion. Still....some had suggested Hardaker would make a good captain FFS

Yep...another McDermott masterstoke
