Thought our defence was superb, also I think our kicking game did improve, albeit from a very low level in previous games.

Daryl is as TS says feeling his way into the team & starting to look the player everyone knows he is.
Glad Bridgey was at 6
We are working hard for each other in defence
GOB played well
Phoenix Kev & Matty are both revelations on the wing & TS will have a real headache when Rhys & Joel are both fit.
As the match ensued I thought the only way they would score was through a bit of luck or an act of brilliance (it was the latter).
James Laithwaite is looking like a starting 13 player every game he plays in.
Super Ben WOW
Ratch must stay at FB, he is the difference for us.

We have the following to return
Simon G
Richie
England
Harrison
Toby King
Joel
Rhys E

Amazing how quick the tone changes on here after one match.

We have nothing to say about the performance now so let's moan about the attendance instead yeah?

Gareth O'Brien seems to me to be improving with every game & is certainly as good as any other SL scrum half . The team certainly fronted up to Leeds for most of the match & threw them off their game.
I watched the highlights programme later & was bemused by a couple of comments by the sky lads....A) Ratchford's try, "even if he touches down with his torso it is a try ", B) a bit later on, i think Ratch again, ball goes forward & commentators say "it's ok it was off his chest ". The RFL need to decide the rule regarding the upper body in relation to rugby league.

Having watch the game again this morning, i think Leeds came with the following plan

* put loads of pressure on our kicking game by rushing at GOB on the last
* get Hall in over the top of Penny with high kicks into the corner

while the first one worked to an extent, they didnt bargain on hardly getting near our line..... Leeds hardly had any chances to get Hall under the high ball near Penny.

Also, how bad was Sinfield? absolute liability last night.

warrington got the 50/50 calls last night and those calls swung the game their way rather than in our favour, imo they were the best side on the night and fully deserved their victory,the wolves can enjoy their victory this time around but i'm sure that we can beat them when the big games come around later in the season

Not imo.
Providing Warrington stick to this spine of a team, Wire will only get better as some players get fitter and combinations develop over the course of time.
Leeds however don't have the same scope for improvement. I don't think the inclusion of Zac would have made too much difference either.

In which case I look forward to this rematch at Headingly.

rhinos don't have the same scope for improvement?
we turn into a different monster when the big games come around later in the season and i'm sure that we have plenty of improvement left in us that will enable us to be in the mix when the trophies are handed out,only time will tell

Leeds looked very tired last night, they couldn't handle the pace of penny Russell , couldn't handle or hick play even when they constantly tried to slow in the tackle, then hilly Simms battered them up front , as for super benny,, well say know more,,
I'm gona be a bit controversial and say our defensive unit and positioning looked faultless without Joel, he is our week link in defence and we didn't miss him,,
Leeds won't get past playoffs,
Our squad is big, and has quality in all areas, sort our kicking out, and it may be our year!!!!!!!!

Hardaker and Moon coming back into the team wouldn't make an improvement? They'd improve any team in the competition.
Leeds weren't that far away last night, and will play better than they did yesterday, as I'm sure Warrington will, because despite the euphoria on here Warrington weren't that great either.

What a load of poop. We restricted a team with probably the best threequarter line in SL to one try.

Yes you are right our defence wasn't great it was superb.

When our attacking options improve the package will take some beating.

Not sure I agree with the Leeds posters on here.
For us to be any good we need our forwards to be much stronger and having one decent halfback in our team might just give us the chance to get our threequarters some quality ball.
The fact Stevie Ward had to make 53 tackles along with a similar stint from Cuthbertson nulifies their attacking skills.
I stand by my prediction that Leeds won't make the top four.
As I said earlier your pack was that good it made GOB look good

Bridge was a passenger last night, a couple of dead ball kicks(which admittedly a nice change from last week's bomb a thon) he didn't do anything, other than get laithwaite dragged off in the second half.

I get the impression though that slowly, ratch is making that team his own.


Sims best game so far, seems to have stopped the cheap knock ons.

Am I right in saying asotasi is only doing one stint a game lately?
