Vast improvement from last week, but still coming up short in vital areas. Too many daft penalties, lack of creativity at vital moments, and looking knackered in last 10 minutes of both halves

Sinfield was so confident we weren't going to go the length that he was happy to bang the ball over the dead ball line for a 20 metre restart. That says it all

And, I'm sorry, I'm still really struggling to be optimistic that Herbert is ever going to be the answer as our main playmaker.

Hard not to be fearful about Catalans on Monday..... icon_sad.gif

Choked, too many wiser more experienced players for Leeds compared to our young ones, wouldn't have had burgess on at the end, Hargreaves head wouldn't have lost his head and cost us an error which lost us the game.

Never looked like winning once Leeds went in front. Seriously lacking in quality.

Effort was obviously there, but what else did you expect after last weeks pathetic effort.

1 in 11 against the Rhinos. SHIT.

Alcohol intake helping.

Good effort from the team but we are short on quality and I can't see this team doing much despite Potter's claims that they are a work in progress. Our second phase of attack is pretty non existent and our attacking methods are predictable and uninventive.
We never utilise the wingers except for usually poor last desperate act kicks into the in goal area. We will win the odd match here and there but to be honest there aint much improvement from last season.
Heath and Kearney are our most inventive players but we aint got no line breaking forwards who can release the ball in the tackle.Without a quality half back partnership and loose we will always struggle. I'm sure MP knows whats needed and its now the time for the board to chuck some money at bringing some quality into the side. Whitehead, Olbison, Donaldson and Burgess playing at the same time leaves the team exposed through lack of experience and strength as all four are a fair way off top super league quality IMO.

To be fair the whole game was a forward battle tonight with most of the play up the middle, even Leeds only got the ball out to the wingers on a few occasions.

Our pack stood up very well tonight and even without Scruton and Langley we more than matched the Leeds pack for most of the game.

I agree with us being exposed with too many youngsters on the field but with the injuries we have no other options. The backs are struggling to gel but that was expected, no doubt Herbert will get slated but with three assists tonight I don't think he did much wrong.

It is still work in progress and todays performance was much improved, we now need to push on again and get a result on Monday.

From a Leeds POV, we seemed to shut the game down towards the end. Sinfield's kicks dead etc just killing time and allowing us to get set. that comes oon the back of what someone else just said about having more experienced heads compared to the young lads playing for the Bulls ATM.

Game boiled down to Kearney's kick after Koppy's break. Force a drop out and we are 50:50 for the win. He put it in the air, Keith defused it like he was putting a loser's medal on eBay and the game was gone.

Can't disagree with any of that. Quality Half Backs we don't have! Oh to have a Brad McKay in the Team, a quality ball playing Loose Forward. You can read our plays like a book, we only seem to have 2 and both are drive it up the middle. Where do we go from here? Oh France that's where, god help us. I honestly can't see where our next win will come from and I remember saying that this time last year.

Potter has a lot of work to do, we're not fit and we're not smart!

There's more doom and gloom on here after taking Leeds close than there was after getting stuffed by Salford, strange bunch!

Ten nil up, then 16 10 up, then crumbled once again. Lack of creativity, lack of fitness? Who knows? But Catalans away and then Wire at home next up so two more losses. Will be out of the running for the play offs before the Easter eggs have been eaten.
Very disappointed.

We were better in 60 metres of the pitch, but where it was important - in our 20 and in their 20 they killed us. When we had them in their own 20 they got out of there easily through sheer hard work, They're yardage sets are really effective, and there is always a support runner putting a defender in two minds so that it takes pressure off the man taking the ball up. When they had us in our twenty they defended very well and we made it easy for them by either sending someone in to cart it up alone, or making a mistake.

Spot on analysis IMO, as long as the group continue to improve this year and set themselves up for a real challenge in 2012, I think that's the most we can hope for after the past three years of steady decline
