| I was quite happy as leeds were very good and we were not...yet we still should have won. What i don't like is that we are still STUPID on field. Aside from Atkins' mental dive he was asking the ballboy to line up the tap with 10 seconds to go...just tap it you absolute moron...and then the last play going to Westwood...amateur. Leeds could have had ten team warnings tonight but they played their penalties beautifully as Morley, monaghan and briers used to. We're still quite a dumb team. Ps ive always disliked ratchford...he disjoints a lot of things.

I had. Posted anyway.
Optimistically speaking Shudders got battered tonight and we play them next, so fingers crossed.

| Quote: Oxford Exile "Roberts will get better as it gets warmer.
Goodwin looked good.
Defence was much better for large parts of the game.
Murdoch-Masilla will get better
Currie looked to be back to somewhere near his old self
Philbin ran strong
We played without our best prop forward
Currie was dreadful..... if he ran the ball with the same vigour he put into hitting Myler on last tackle kicks he'd be a world beater.
only Goodwin looked to have class...And Hill looked good....
so despite that we were beaten by 6 points and were held up over the line 3 times......
happy days

| I thought that was OK, as expected. We will win more than we lose I think finishing 6/7/8.
Price isn't a miracle worker as there is still not enough quality across the park in key positions. At least we competed to the end.

| Some saying Leeds looked like the champion side they are and we looked rubbish. But we lost by only 4 points. Hmm? As for Roberts, it was his first game, and I actually thought he provided a few nice touches. Hughes looks useful in attack again. Goodwin is a keeper. Kev Brown doesn't deserve the stick that he gets. Our defence was very good and our attack looks like it has promise.

| Positives are we got over the line quite a bit.
Anyone but Leeds and we'd have got the ball down.
Defense was quite solid. Had to resort to kicks for two tries.
Unfortunately we didn't even bother challenging for them.
Goodwin looks fleet footed, will be good.
All the new recruits impressed and Jack Hughes looked better.
Negatives are our kicks. Never troubled anyone all night.
Sick of seeing bombs that do jack. At least kick for the sideline. Gain ground.
Ryan Atkins swan dive. Hope he's embarassed for weeks to come.
Ratchford had a bit of a stinker.

| ...always better to dive low like Hall, it's almost impossible to defend against.

| Goodwin and Philbin were impressive. Philbin given his chance and took it well. We need to learn to get the ball down with every effort when over the line, we were not doing anything but being wrapped up. To get over that many times is encouraging.
Roberts will get fitter and hopefully take charge.
Currie will get better
BMM must lose some of that tank and he will get better, no good him getting the ball stood still, that's almost as pointless as Kevin Brown.
Steve Price is no robot with his answers you could see and feel the lava bubbling under the surface in his interview post match, would love to be a fly on the wall in the next meeting/video review.
We are not bottom and we have another game next week ![ROCKS k020.gif](images/smilies//k020.gif)

| If they didn't before, Price and Henderson will surely now know the size of the task.

| Seeing Prices reaction to Atkins brain fart is an improvement. TS reaction to that would be to pat him on the back with a never mind Ryan my favourite player, do better next time.

Thought the exact same thing myself.
Atkins didn't cover himself in glory did he. Neither did Patton with his "no look" pass that went forward blowing another good opportunity in their 20.
Ratchford stunk.

| Jack Hughes played well when he was in the middle. Made a lot of tackles and carried the ball straight and hard. Everyone could see he didn’t have the class to play out wide but could be a good work horse.
Clark was also good, lively when we managed to break a ruck and defended hard.
