Massive 2 points that. Thought Toulouse looked very good when they threw the ball about in the latter stages. Con Mika was unplayable at times. Don't think they'll drop many points even away from home either.

Thought we played very well. As another poster said, our tries weren't bash over the line or touching down kicks, they were very well worked tries. Thought Leon had his best game for us. Showed his class being pivotal in our tries. His and Moores experience were worth their weight in gold in the latter stages when things were going against us (Leon pushing everyone out of the way to make sure Thomas got the ball for the crucial drop goal) a couple of weeks ago we'd have gone out wide in that situation and lost the game. We need Leon for his mouth and brain.

Ross Oakes is just getting better and better. Ethan Ryan was just class in attack (like many wingers) and defence (unlike many wingers). There isn't a better defensive winger in this country than him. Oh and no way was Ryans second try forward. Baffling decision. Need to fix up our discipline and errors. But we are improving every game. The defence in the first half in particular was superb

Final thought..2 games in a row we've had an unused sub. We've gotten aayy with it last 2 times but can't keep doing it. Ross Peltier should be on bench next game..not wasting a spot on an unused back.

Before I start, I had this game down as a loss at the start of the season but with the loss of Kheriallah, Minga and Ford I thought we might have had a chance.

As many have stated fantastic first half. Kicking game from Lilley was excellent. Goal line defense was amazing. Throughout the game that is. Loved Moore's try. It had everything. Pryce creating space, Oakes busting a tackle, Bentley in support and being mature enough to draw the man and put Moore through!

Oledzki again had some really good go forward. This was the Leeds's lads last game and he is one I want all season.

Murray was solid and always made yards especially after contact!

As much as I like Macani in attack he always gets sucked in during our defensive sets. He reminds me of Gareth Raynor in 2011. Never on his man! Could have prevented at least 2 of the 3 tries. Now I will reserve judgement until I watch the game again as them tries may have been Mendeika's fault for jamming in. Either way, poor on that right side.

I don't care who is in charge at this present moment, whether Beattie has 100% control on team selections or Toovey is having his input, it was criminal to have a back on the bench when we knew it would be cold with a huge chance of rain. That bench should have been 4 forwards or at least a bench Hooker. Either way when things were going against us it was disgusting to not use that extra bench spot and waste it on someone who wasn't going to feature. Peltier could have given one of the lads a rest when they were knackered!

All in all a huge two points and all other results went our way!

Yeah I was going to mention the subs thing. Why do that, I just can't see the logic in making it 16 v 17. You're putting yourself at a disadvantage automatically by doing that and it just makes no sense to me at all.

Great win. It was so important to hold on in that last 20 mins for the belief going forwards and as rewards for an excellent first hour.

As has been said, pryce and Moore were invaluable today in the talking and game management, although lilley is also excellent in that regard, plus he put a couple of really good tackles one on one against their big number 12, lilley is going to be some player, shame we won't have him for the whole season.

Toulouse looked good when throwing it about chasing the game when our energy levels dropped. But when both sides were fully charged we were the better team amd it's a deserved win. We have hope.

I did like leon after either our last try or the drop goal, cant remember, heading back to the half way line for the toulouse kick off the ball boy was about to launch the ball to the centre spot from the touchline, leon asked for it instead and when the ball boy passed him it he immediately just put it in the floor 30m from the centre spot, slowing the restart, when the ball boy was then going to put another ball towards the centre leon pointed and told him to walk off the pitch with the ball and not to throw one for toulouse...home field advantage from the old head. icon_smile.gif

After listening to Toovey explode in the box after their first try he's in charge alright.

I thought as much icon_lol.gif Always knew it would be Toovey using Beattie as a 'front'. Still doesn't excuse the shocking decision to have a back on the bench and waste a bench spot.

I don't understand putting Smith on bench and not playing him.

Waste of money.

Isn't it one of Macnamara's coaching techniques?

Lilley was really struggling in the second half, it would have made sense to maybe replace him? Stick Oscar there and Smith to FB?

Totally agree.

I really don't understand.
