Couldn't go tonight or watch it. Who stepped up and made a difference? I take it Atkins wasn't great but I can look at the other thread for that one......

16 players really give it some Kevin.
1 player didnt and I think responsible for losing us the game.

I thought waterhouse and England were very good tonight.

Cheers folks. Glad England made a good start. Don't start praising Waterhouse, you know that's not allowed!

They was. Waterhouse a bit hot headed. But he put a shift in in defence.
Asotasi was solid. He's nowt special in attack but hard.

Westwood outstanding
Hill outstanding
M Monaghan miles better
Ormsby did really well IMO for a first SL game
Ditto Anthony England

Atkins well down on confidence - very poor

From Tony's post-match interview I get the impression that once Russell is fit O'Brien will be dropped again. Myler is basically being given a "few more weeks to get fit"

If so, that would be a shame.

Russell should be full back, Ratchford should replace Atkins in the centres, and GOB/Myler in the halves.

Better but a long way to go.

We could have won the game if not for silly final decisions. In the second half Ratchford and O'B both went for the try line when both Bridge and JMon' were free outside them both times; both were snuffed out in tackle6. And the slack defending for all of their tries were definitely avoidable.

But we lost and we still need to improve as much as we did from last week again, and more, for next week against Hull.

We played a good Leeds side tonight without us having any real direction from the halfback pairing. To loose by 6 is not a bad effort. Before hand I think the majority on here would have taken a -6 defeat.

Huge improvement on last week... I thought some of the forwards were outstanding... We lacked some guile in the halves and looked a bit out of sorts still, but the effort was there.

Some very poor kicking from Myler and some silly decisions from older players that should know better at crucial times cost us.

One mistake apart Ormsby looked decent and justified the decision to pick him.. he ran the ball in at props and still carried on going forward after impact... It will be interesting to see how he does playing next to someone that isnt having a rugby league meltdown.

its going to be difficult to keep Atkins in the team after that display.

Hill,Westwood, England, both Mickeys and Grix played well I thought. Looking forward to having Matty Russell available.

Ormsby Bridge and JMonaghan too.

we need Briers back. Or someone like him. i understimated his influence and coupled with the absence of Hodgson we have become a stale attacking side.

Totally agree
