aye i thought that at the time, its a greasy night, get in low and hope momentum takes you over. bit harsh to give a knock on against it as well. hudds arms and legs all over the ball.

on Achurch, looking good! he really does seem to get better the more he plays. just need to hope he stays fit.

Far too many unforced errors. If we'd not kept on inviting Huddersfield to attack, we'd have won far more comfortably.

I'm guessing that we made far more errors than Huddersfield & overall gave away more penalties.
I'd also speculate, without knowing the stats, that we had to do more tackling than they did so to win against all those stats was a good effort.

Huddersfield had I think it was 18 more play the balls in the first half than Leeds did. Not sure whether that evened out in the second, but purely from watching the game it didn't seem to.

They play a very direct, very one-dimensional game that relies on them being able to bully sides down the middle. When that wasn't working for them in the first half hour they didn't seem to have a Plan B to change it around, similarly when they were chasing the game late on.

I think (hope) I'm correct in stating that last night's crowd was 12878.
Thanks to the 78 who bothered to make the trip all the way from Huddersfield.
Do their fans really deserve the team they've got?

www.superleague.co.uk/report/11015 Stats from the game... 13 errors in total, Hardaker with 5 of them. Cut them out and we'll be tough to beat. Peacock's stats look outstanding. What they don't show is how he struggled with the speed of the PTB, but overall he's still a huge asset to this team.

45 tackles (3 misses) and the clean break for the Briscoe try is impressive from Ward.

Even more impressive (given his size) is 43 and no misses, plus a try and a huge assist in the Hall try, from Aiton. Rapidly developing into close to an 80 minute player.

Hookers should be 80 minute players nowadays IMO. The interchange hooker seems a redundant tactic now, that effects the balance of the side.

Is B-Rough's whinging infecting his team-mates? There was some epic dummy spitting last night. I think Anderson needs to have a word. They need to concentrate on their own game and not get upset at every perceived injustice.

Moon's one handed pick up of a loose ball at full speed was a great piece of skill. Just a shame McGuire dropped the resulting pass, that would have been an excellent try.

Yup. Thought Moon was quick to pass. He may have been bettered served keeping the ball and driving to the try line (for a possible try, or worst case a quick play the ball).

More to the point....


How fundamentally awful were that Take That tribute act?!

Bet Rabbi Williams laughs if he ever sees them

If Achurch scores, which he should have, it's 28-12 and we should go on to win comfortably.

Pleased to get the win in the end, I never really thought we looked like losing even when going behind oddly.

And nice to get that monkey off our backs as I know some of the players will be well aware of how long it is since we last beat those lot.

He certainly had a few tantrums last night. The lip was quivering and i swear he almost burst into tears when Aiton went in for the winner!

bit harsh that, we had at least 150 there

good game that could have gone either way, i thought after going 18-0 down the game was over and i feared a thrashing at that point, we showed good spirit to come back and eventually lead, but switched off to allow Aiton a soft score. i wouldn't have complained had it been a draw.
as for Mcdermott's ungracious after match interview, very poor i thought, both teams were guilty of messing around, pushing and shoving at the play the ball, yet he chooses to only see one side and fails to even mention Aiton's play acting.

but not too downhearted, we could have won again at headingley but it wasn't to be, hope you're all enjoying a rare win over the giants
