Leeds were awful again, it's frightening how unstructured they are in attack, we made Wakefield look slightly better than average!!

Well if they went on total rl fans forum and expressed that opinion they would be banned immedietely

Maybe you met the fantasists behind this:

Think both teams were full of effort, in fact from Wakey and Leeds it was top class and the defence was very good from both. But in terms of attack both teams were woefull. I think that's down to Leeds had inexperienced halfs and we had only tim smith and it was strange we played with no number 6 really.

A game to applaud the effort and defence of both teams but to be critical of in attack.

Excellent crowd. Glad this game wasn't on Sky.

That's pretty much how I saw it too.
I think Leeds were going sideways too often in attack and needed someone to straighten up and just take the ball in (or run a line)

No you're wrong, the reaction from the Wakefield fans was either to get a rise out of me or sour grapes. They certainly wouldn't go onto a forum and post about it, Trojan Horse says so.

aaah how ive missed sir oli from SLFs..... that guy is deluded and pretty mental......

Abolutely. Got sick of seeing Burrow crab along the line with nobody offering a decent direct run to offset it (still not sure Burrow would have passed however)



If not for the individual brilliance of Leeds' two centres I'm pretty sure Leeds would have lost against an equally hapless Wakefield. Who said SL standards are not slipping????

I enjoyed the trip up to Leeds and glad we didn't leave heading for the game much later: only just got a parking spot on my usual road and North stand tickets after assuming there would not be much of a crowd!! Whoops !

GH should pray to god(s) more often for good weather

I think we needed 2 points to keep our grip on 4th (3rd is more or less gone and I'd still rather finish 4th than 5th whatever sme might say) and we got them. Which was good.

Other than that, as others have said a lot of effort on show, but poor execution on attack. I actually don't think Wakey are a bad side this year, and have looked a threat in attack when I've seen them. I don't think they'll perform that badly going forward next week, so if we want another 2 points, we'll have to play better.

Wakie spent alot of their juice with their line speed in defence and it worked for the most part, Leeds couldn't bust them down the middle. So our poor execution was partly down to their workrate in defence and pushing us out wide.

I think you'll find that no other team appears interested in finishing 4th in SL. Some are in fact doing their level best to avoid finishing 4th at all costs... the Whipping Boy French Fancying SL Rabble immediately spring to mind. You'd assume they'd make it less obvious by not losing away at Salford but I guess they've learnt from Leeds regular season visit to their midden last season for inspiration.

Wakey struggled with ball retention.
You cant win too many SL games with 50-60 % completion rates !

Leeds completion rate was 64%, Wakeys was 63%

Richie Mathers knows all about that.

Its not his fault you know, it never is.

He didn't drop owt on Friday IIRC.

What's wrong with mcshane? Presume it will be sinny and sutcliffe in the halves this week then

He had a bad game, so he's been dropped. It's how this coach operates.....................with [isome[/i players.

Coach must've been rubbing his hands with Glee at the opportunity to put Burrow back to 9 and blunt our halves again.

Watch it. Gilder will be on soon to give a certain rebuke to those sort of comments. Nantwich suggested something similar the other day and was duely bitch slapped.

Surely though McShane is injured. The squad announced seems ridiculously backs heavy, and no specialist hooker. He certainly operates in some weird manner.

Nah.

Gareth is allowed to make comments like that, because I respect his opinions.

You, on the other hand...

So you are confirming yourself an hypocrite then Andy?

Nantwich makes the comments, its bitch slap time. Gareth makes the comments it's @r5e lick time.

Never mentioned me. I agree with Gareth's comments.

Can see McDermott shifting about during the game, moving Hardakre into the halves to whilst Sinfield has a breather or has a spell at hooker - BJB to full back - Minns/Duckworth to wing.
