and a repetitive one

I wasn't moaning about the penalties being given - they were all clear penalties, I was 'moaning' about our players stupidity in giving these penalties away. The worrying thing is that this is a recurring theme from the past 18 months or so. Basic ill-discipline - that should be punished by the management, both as a unit (team game, team punishment - hopefully create positive peer pressure) and then individually aswell for repeat and stupid offenders - ahem JJB, Cross, Sinfield (who definitely should be setting a better example - although he does in many other areas)

Oh, and I'm guessing the coach was watching from there to critique the sliding defence and see who is exactly to blame. To be fair, if it was, it worked as the defence was better.

And credit where its due, Senior was much better tonight..

agreed but it was against one of the bottom 3 clubs in the comp.

This is true. But he's had a lot of stick recently, and its only right to give him credit tonight. Also thought Cross made some good yards - but ruined it with just about the worst sort of penalty to give away.

In all honesty though, I thought the overall standard of both teams was very poor, a sad indictment of the standard of Super League nowadays.

Senior looks ok when he's goes straight forward! His play to set up rob last week was outstanding!this season he has looked awful defensively and his decision making has been poor. Bradford's inability to get the ball wide all night meant that aspect of his game wasn't tested. All in all an improvement though

Is that so. Them guys at Sky Sports News are crafty beggars. They've only gone and edited the Rhinos tries so they look like they weren't forward.

Have to disagree, just because Leeds & Bedford are struggling doesnt mean the whole of the comp is!

Agree re Senior though, good to see him doing what he does well tonight - rather than what he doesnt do so well!

Not sure that is quite correct - agree re JJB's difficult to see how McShane's or Buderus' runs from dummy half could have been forward and Hall's try definitely not so that leaves Senior's which again I am not sure was forward.

Where do you get the 4?

The 4 forward passes for 4 tries???? Must have watched a different game.

Senior and burrow who I have been quite critical seemed to play better. The team as a whole in second half seemed more solid. Some stupid penalties conceded, but in general not as much stupid ball thrown about. The hall try was a brilliant team score from the initial brake to the end.

Also i noticed kirke tackled back well on one occasion. Which was a big effort.

Nothing like a sore loser, JJB's granted - dont remember any others.

Agree only jjb was close but one of the alleged forward passes to try was a run from dummy half!!!

Agree, think that ripon air making him a bit deluded

Also don't think the sinfield "strip" on elima was the wrong decision. I think elima played for that and released the ball.

Webb also gave a bit of a cheap shot to him after the try but the play acting was embarrasing.
