Lance has played pretty well at hooker over recent weeks. He's pretty dangerous from acting half and teams back off him creating more space.

If we do keep lance, I think the only role he can play is coming off the bench to spell Robes. If there the case then IMO wello can't be in the 17 at all as we no way can have both them on the bench.

I guess the benefit of playing with 2 halfbacks ......

We just have to hope we can find a 6 from somewhere or Wheeler pays a visit to Lourdes

In a way although we lost, that game has rescued our season. When you think back of the first 4 games against our last couple of games, we should be in good shape for next year.

This 100%.

I think we are in with a good shout of winning SL next season if Walsh and Masoe bed in.

That's how the Play-Off's should be. An excellent game where either team could truly have won it right up until the end buzzer. I'm not going to lie, as a Leeds fan I went into the game quietly confident that we'd win, based off past results between us at Old Trafford and the fact we seem to be stronger at this time in the season.

I'm also going to admit that I underestimated you greatly, and had the players done what I did we'd have been spiraling out of that game and this season. Saints shocked me completely last night, your defence was key to everything and you seemed to have an answer for most of what we tried to do. I was on the edge of my seat assuming we'd lose, especially after Manu(?) scored that 2nd try.

Another 5 minutes, who knows what would have happened. Great, great game. Definitely a force to reckon with next season. You seem to be coming out of your 'Transition period' whereas I think Leeds will be entering into one in the next couple of years so the tables may well be turned.

Tremendous effort defensively. Leeds were struggling to break us down with long spells on our line. I find that when Leeds struggle to break a team down, Rob Burrow starts to run side to side a lot. I was pleased we were only 4-0 down at ht.

With the ball we weren't great. A load of unforced errors. Lot of passes were intercepted and some really daft mistakes like Turner losing the ball when he was trying to play it.

Getting to within a point was cruel, but I knew that when Wilkin missed that drop goal (he wouldn't have had a better chance to do so) I knew they'd walk up the other end and put it over.

I think there is a lot to be excited about next season. Brown has done a great job. Roll on 2014

It was there for the taking in the closing stages. Don't want to criticise Turner, but that conversion would, IMO, have sealed it. To then not take another pop from the kick-off penalty let Leeds off the hook. But, even when we ran the pen and got to the Leeds 20, we wasted four tackled just driving it in. At that stage, we should have either tried to put a move on or take an earlier drop with less pressure. What we did was fall between the two stools.

Players obviously didn't want to risk dropping the ball and losing the drop goal chance completely, so didn't risk a killer pass. As we didn't line up for a drop early in the tackle count, it didn't cause the Leeds defence to break the line to close down a potential drop, possibly leading to gaps if we ran it.

Personally, I'd have liked Wilkin & Lomax to have lined up as 1st receiver on either side of the PTB to split any chasers, and we'd have tried the drop early in the count.

IMO, a valiant effort from the team that augers well for 2014, but still a tough loss to take. Then again, likely we'd have played the scum at pie park next round and, although I think we have the beating of them as their form is questionable, it'd be heartbreaking to lose to those gobsh***s

I can see why you've made that comparison but I think we're a better side than Hull and are better coached than them so I think we'll cope slightly better.

We not got those risk players anymore that do that special thing to win a game. Leeds are big game team with numerous players that can come up with that special play. Maguire was awful last night but popped over the winner.

Im taking about us actually winning something and not just happy to cope. We've not coped to well this year have we.

The two areas we needed recruitment in were the halves and at prop and we've recruited well in those areas. We lost by a point away at the Champions, so I'm confident we can challenge next year.

Can we change our bogey team next year to London or Wakey.. Someone who we are not likely to meet on route to the GF???

Wakey used to be a bogey team for us, we'd turn up expecting a win and then go eh????? But come the end of the season they were not in a position to upset the apple cart.

I'm not even sad that much at losing to Leeds again. I'm just bored of loosing to them. It's becoming scripted!!!!
