The turning points was dropping the ball in the first set of 2nd half after going in on high at halftime. We knew Leeds would come out on fire, it was important we put that fire out in first ten mins of 2nd half but they scored after 2 mins from our drop ball!
Another turning point was graham turning his back on the Leeds attack that cost us a try.
Then to top it off, with 4 mins to go we are on Leeds line and wilkin kicks on 3rd tackle, that was our last chance and if we'd scored we'd of been going wembley.'"
Up to the point when Meli threw that pass we were in control of the game.
We had Leeds on the rack IMO and if we had scored another try then I reckon we would have gone on to win the game.
I agree with you concerning the Wilkin kick yes it was very poor oh and by the way it has nothing to do with Meli being an easy target it was very poor execution of a pass.

The first ten mins after halftime was very important, we had to put Leeds fire out just after halftime.
We dropped the ball after 2mins and Leeds scored straight away. Leeds was then full of confidence and we looked flat.
If we'd kept them out in first ten mins we IMO would have gone on to win.
Graham turning his back was a killer as well.

He might not win a cup in his two years, if that makes him a loser what does that say about the players? They are the ones out there on the pitch.
I can't say I'm a big potter fan but IMO he's done a very good job this year which simmons we get the benefits next year.

| Considering the number of injured key players missing in big games, I think he has done a pretty good job.
Can,t re call any game that we have lost were we have been totally dominated, most of our games lost were by less than 8 points.
Mick Potters just gone on with it, in his uncharasmatic way, whilst the majority of supporters just whinge about it. We lost today, get over it.

But will he? With Perry's injury today next season isn't looking at all rosy IMO. That'll be him and Soliola with huge injury clouds over their heads and with potentially serious injuries to Kyle and Leon it could be rehab central next season.
We're still in a position where we are missing a couple of experienced first team players in the squad next season IMO. There will be kids all over the 17. We're certainly not going to be anyones favourites for a trophy next term.

Well if thats a case what a winning formula the Bulls have got next season!
Graham was out on his feet at the back end of that game, maybe he should have been taken off. But at the time when the two tries were scored there was a lot more bodies about than just Graham. Not 100% to blame.

Let's not get all doom and gloom over next year just yet, leon and Kyle will be fit for next year, shenton will add some much needed pace to the backline and nothing to say that perry won't be back for start of 2011.
The kids will all be a season older and everyone will be looking to show simmons they should be first choice.
This season ain't over yet mate, with a bit of luck we will have Kyle, leon and maurie all fit for play offs.

We don't know that he is. But he had knee problems while in Australia - I think he had at least one operation - and then lo and behold he managed one half of the first match of the season with us and goes off with a knee problem. He 'returns' a few weeks later, lasts half a match, and is gone for the season. Hence, we anticipate there could be future problems.

| Didnt we score 3 of our tries while James Graham was off the pitch anyway? Cant really put this loss down to Potter's tactics. However if he did leave someone off too long, it was Cunningham.

He'll come good next year, unlike Eastwood.
