He got the bench wrong for me but I blame the players for not turning dominance in to points in that first 30 minutes. Leeds should’ve been put to bed but we look disjointed and lacking in ideas. Who knows why that was, maybe the break between proper games, the changes in personnel or Leeds desire to stick in there frustrating us but I can’t question the effort.

Overall it’s been a great season and I walk away from it satisfied. We need to find some proper centres but presuming we do, I see no reason why we can’t give the trophies a good crack next season.

I think that is the most sensible post I have read tonight.

Matty Peet a class act in his post match interview

I wouldn't have played Powell.

Put coached tonight but he will learn from the experience.

INOUT

That should say out.

I think we've play better (faster) trhis year with Brad O'Neil at hooker.

I've never liked going in with 4 forwards on the bench - I would go with 1 utility back every time, but that's just me.

Losing Bevan was a blow, but Batty's brainfart killed us.

Really hope we replace Briers - And not just with Tommy. We need an experienced backs & kicking coach.
It's obvious that our biggest improvements came in the seasons where we had Briers and Deacon coaching the attack.

Did you have French & Field available last year?

Can’t complain. After last season this year has been magic. Leeds clearly wanted it more last night and had the perfect game plan. I am not going to add comments about selection or certain players but it was very clear where the weaknesses in that team were last night.

He’s finally come out of hiding after we turned saints over

I’ve got nothing but respect for Matty Peet.

If you look where we were at this time last the change is enormous.

I’d have laughed if anyone had suggested we’d be the leagues top try scorers and have a genuine claim to the entertainer tag.

He is gracious and magnanimous in defeat and clearly has the respect of the entire club and probably the rest of the sport.

He’s a young coach who will learn from this year and get better. We have a a fair few young players who will be better next year.

Bring on the World Cup!

So, if you're not winning trophies galore, you then have a terrible coach? A couple of seasons ago you also lost in a grand final to a freakish try in the last minute. I shudder to think what response Peet would've got had you not won the CC. Personally, I think you're being harsh on Lam.
