I don't think we looked in danger of letting this one slip like last week and Briers was sensible enough to kick the drop goal just to make doubly sure. I think the conditions were certainly worse in the second half and we were playing into the wind then which probably did have some effect as our kicking game was much better in the first half. We did look flat whilst attacking for a lot of the second half. There were a lot of players standing still whilst when receiving the ball near the Leeds line. Maybe the loss of Hodgson, or even just a loss of concentration caused this, but our attack was definitely sharper in the first half.

Some of the pens given to Leeds were pathetic IMO, looks like Thaler had been instructed to try and even things up for the benefit of the tv audience.

Was a few dodgy calls in that game. Have to watch it back again but im sure there was a moment when a Leeds player spilled the ball and another Leeds players caught it a few metres in front.

There's a first! Me agreeing with Colin. There were quite a few grapple tackles from the Loiners tonight, and they only ever got penalised for holding down in the tackle when the result was a foregone conclusion.

Got to agree with Teesside and **shudder** Colin.

Grapple Tackles
Phantom KNock ons
A clear offside
High Tackles
and Lying on was rife from Leeds.

Was also a little hard on a few Wire players at times.
