No, it was Peacocks ball steal that changed the momentum before half time and it was Peacock's ridiculous attempted off-load that nearly threw it away again in the final minute.


Are you sure now?

Assuming you were speaking to Peacock I can understand why he would want to deflect criticism elsewhere after his brain farts.

There's something missing from this thread...
...FearTheVet. He's usually sharper than this when TMFMISL's mentioned.

Thats changed from the one you sent me

Artistic licence mate , artistic licence .

It was done in about 5 mins , and needed (still needs) some tweaking .

The way I go on about him?

I wasn't the one who thought he was man of the match. You thought he was man of the match.

I had 3 others ahead of him. But you do think it was just a coincidence then that whilst he was off the pitch that Saints completley dominated the match? Yet whilst he was on Leeds completley dominated the match?

True. Wonder which stone he's hiding under.

I await further back-pedalling from him.

No they didn't.

I thought he was the M.O.M in a good team performance.
I don't think it was a coincidence how the momentum changed i think it was a number of things like i said in another post.
When he went off other incidents dictated where the momentum shifted,Peacocks ball steal,poor defence,not shutting te ball and man down to prevent the off-load.
Had Buderus stayed on the pitch it would of had no effect whatsoever on Peacocks brain fart or the poor left edge defence imo.

It may well not had an effect on a penalty conceeded, but it certainly would have had an effect on keeping the forwards moving forward and quickly, and keeping the defence tight. A defence that looked very secure until he went off. Things that didn't happen when he was off the field.

He doesn't defend on the left edge so how would he of had a role in tightening the defence up?
Don't take this in the wrong context either but how can you keep the forwards moving without the ball?
Saints scored back to back tries did they not?

The left edge was not a problem on Saturday, and I have been it's biggest critic. The whole defensive line lookeded disorganised once Buderus left the pitch. There was nothing wrong with either edge (expect for Donalds handling of high balls), until Buderus left the pitch, it looked very impressive.

Again, when he came back on, there were no kinks in our defence pattern at all.

lomax stepped 3 tacklers on the left edge to score and Pryce went through a gap between Senior and Mcguire that a bus could get through also on the left edge!
I personally still think it is a problem so we'll have to agree to disagree on that also.

Both try's came at what time again?

Which is exactly what I said above. That said though, It would be very unfair to place blame on any area for the Lomax try which was created from superb play from Pryce.

As for the Pryce try it was exactly what I said on the other thread about his play. Every time he had the ball we split wide open.

I honestly think both tries could and should of been stopped and nothing to do with Buderus been subbed.
Pryce's try could of been scored by anyone on the park the gap was that wide and came again from quick plays from Roby and Moore rather than his individual talent.

Sorry but I completely dissagree and find that comment rubbish. I would have backed McGuire only in the Leeds side to have scored that try. It came from a combination of panic and great footwork. No way could any of the forwards on the park have scored that try. Yes it was a big gap, but that gap wouldn't have been there for other players.
