Some people actually watch games and comment on what is in front of them, without biase and agendas.

I said at half time Hall was magnificent. I also said when this thread was created he was playing poor, because he was.

From a guy who constantly gets asked "Did you actually watch the game?"

How did Turner do today BTW?



He wasn't though was he. His kick catching was a disappointment yes, and this led you and some others to all areas of his game harking back 4 years.

You talk nonsense. And are always found out.

Comment on the present, it's much easier.

By the way Turner was crap today. As I say, I comment on what actually happens, rather than what doesn't.

Slightly O/T but Briscoe's positioning in attack at times is shocking. He overruns the play often and as a result the ball has gone behind him and out of play a number of times this season.

As for Hall, he's still the most complete winger in this country, and one of the best in the world. I'm not sure anyone could say otherwise to be honest

Ok then......




What's that about talking nonsense and always being found out?

To be fair to Turner, I thought all the Saints backs were shocking except for Lomax. If I were Nathan Brown, I'd move Lance back to full back and put Lomax to 6 to take some of the responsibility off Walsh.

Come on guys admit it that you've both got huge man crushes on Ryan


Ryan by plenty IMO

Guffaw

Got to say I thought Hall was brilliant today and certainly back to his best form for a long time. Maybe BJB might get in ahead of Briscoe next week.

Is this the one problem with McDermott's rotation, it's not allowing Briscoe to strike up a partnership / timing with Watkins?

Haven't they played 9 out of a possible 12 games together?

Perhaps, but they've played enough games for Leeds, and England, not to mention hours in training together so I'm not sure that excuse is valid anymore, I also though that when McGuire passed the ball into touch in the first half that he overran the play, but I haven't seen it again so could be wrong.

Briscoe was at fault on both occasions I think.....but I certainly would not drop him in favour of BJB.
The way our triumvirate back 3 bring the ball back into play is a hugely important part of getting Leeds onto the front foot.

Hall was a justifiable MOM today. Brilliant

Exactly, I'd say work needs to be done there but can we honestly say BJB wouldn't have overrun too?

Probably more a pet peeve I have but most wingers positioning in relation to their centre/the play I find frustrating.

Irrespective of where Briscoe was, it was the wrong ball from McGuire to start with. Had no need to throw the big miss ball. One of a series of errors he started the game with.

Not even going to bother reading any further posts in this thread . Leeds 32-12 Saints is the only score that matters .

Agree regarding not dropping briscoe and hall was very good. But then I don't think he has been bad all year.

Regarding the maguire pass I have to say I don't think briscoe was at fault thought the pass from mags was wrong

This.
I also thought Watkins passing into touch was the wrong option and not TB's fault.

Ryan Hall was class, is class has been class.

Aye, he's not bad for a fat get.

I guess that William is busy washing his hair this weekend

who? ryan or gareth?

Still no sign of Billy.

Hall by plenty.

Dunno about that. It was on Saints territory, play had opened up and there was a try on if the pass went to hand. Right option not well executed IMOSVHO.

I'd like to see Briscoe just check a yard or two in those positions. He's over-run a few passes from Watkins and McGuire. I don't think it can all be down to him, between them they need to get it right. For me with his speed, strength and step he doesn't need to be taking the ball that flat. Just get a pass that gets him on the outside shoulder.

Agreed, it's not a case of blaming or singling out one player. All three/four involved (I'd included Hardaker too) down that side just need to work on their execution together. We showed more intent in attack this time, with crisper play we could've had at least two more scores down that right hand side in the first half.

Hall showed Makinson you need more than a nice one handed dive finish. Makinson's no mug, so will be a nice reality check for the lad.

Saints comfortably losing last 3, makes London at home a bit of a relief of a fixture.
