True re- Peacock but he does the hard yards another thing i forgot to add tonight was the fookin dissent creeping back in
As for "our style" we still normally have at least 1 or 2 options in motion though and i lost count tonight how many times Mcguire,Mcshane and Burrow made a run to have a go at the line and looked for runners only to see half the team stood looking at each other.
I do think our young uns don't deserve any stick because they gave their all imo especially Ambler!

I see yer point mate but Dobson was kicking on the 2nd,3rd and 4th most of the night and he exploited our line not been ready which also made Smithy look way off positioning wise.
I don't think Hall is fully fit but it doesn't excuse his chances bombed.

Ambler, apart from his knock on, was impressive. Long stints, a lot of hit ups and industrious in defence. Looks a very good prospect.

Watts looked good for KR.

Bad day at the office that's all. Rovers were the better team and didnt allow us to play.

We're still missing 7/8 players and it's only July. We shouldnt be wrtten off and Rovers need not get carried away.

not getting carried away but we were missing a few ourselves to the point were we had to borrow 1 off the pies due to having no fit centres at all in the club

McShane at least managed to justify Leeds' decision to recruit a second 1st grade hooker to the squad for the 2009 season.

yes he did.

What was our completion rate, anyone know?

We had a pretty wide range in the car coming back, but no one thought above 50%

I don't like to criticise young players, but McShane was awful.

In the first half, Rovers ran at him several times, and he missed a few tackles.

I don't know about completion rates but Leeds lost the penalty count 10 - 6 (including two for dissent), they knocked on a minimum 9 times, threw 3 forward passes + another 2 that were intercepted. The attacking kicking game (one effort from Burrow apart) was shocking and in sharp contrast to KR's who forced 6 repeat sets from theirs compared to a fortunate 1 from Leeds.

Probably didn't miss as many as mcguire

Totally agree.

yet you fail to mention the rovers fans,and i use the term loosely, in our end baiting leeds fans and trying to incite fans. good job the stewards were good and removed a couple.

try and be balanced

lee smith looks twice the player he was before he went to union. sadly i mean his waist line. cumbersome, slow and the turning circle of an oil tanker.
no doubt good pre season will sort it out but god do we miss webb
