I know the circumstances of this game were very much in our favour but you have to be realistic and respect Leeds for fielding a full-strength outfit. Remember their guys won the Grand Final last year mainly through spirit, determination and Rob Burrow so they were not going to lie down especially after their recent run. You'd also have to admit that in terms of power and the pace at which they play the game we would normally not be able to live with them.
So let's give plenty of praise to our team who fought hard throughout, created more than I've seen offensively for a LONG TIME and perhaps didn't get the refereeing "rub of the green" on the night especially with that late, strange but crucial penalty which Sinfield kicked. Yes, we need to improve defensively as at least four of their tries were too easily conceded but yet again we should take the positives: Smith, very creative; Aiton, our man of steel; promising performances by the youngsters, Trout and Walshaw; Fox and Cockayne always very lively; also great to see Ollie Wilkes notch his bi-annual try!
Good support too! (Rhinos fans clapped us at the end!) I've had far worse Monday nights certainly!

It's not perfect by any means, but if you had actually been bothered to peel yourself out of your armchair and actually attend the match, you would have seen some superb attacking play, a few monster hits and plenty of creativity from pretty much all departments of the side. Instead you don't attend and wax lyrical about the teams failings based on replays.
You mention in a previous post that the schoolboy errors will be a feature of our game until Agar goes. Perhaps it had crossed your mind that it's not Agar dropping the ball under the sticks or throwing passes into touch? Perhaps not.
Lighten up, get behind the team and start giving credit where it's due as well as criticizing and you may not come across as such a doom n gloom merchant!'"
Well said ! |

I suppose Wildebeast have plenty to moan about, what with the Lions and all.

Depends on whether you're talking Outwood Wildebeest or kettlethorpe (though latter are - technically- more Gnu, one suspects).

I think it's more when they're dying, but still - can't fault a man for whipping out a simile now and again!
