Would be interested to know how Blake played when he came on

Spot on mate, and that's what made Harris's comments even more laughable. Saying we looked as though we were in for a long hard season and didn't look like we'd create many try scoring opportunities throughout.

Pretty tough when you're missing most of your playmakers, Brough, Rooney, Obst, Leo-Latu and Sculthorpe to name five.

Well done boys, sounded like a top effort and just short of something that any of the above may have been able to offer.

Edited.

Burrow, Senior, Eastwood, Sinfield, Webb all missing, compared to Moore, Rooney, Brough, Obst, Leo-Latu etc. Think the levels of injuries are pretty much equal. We had McGuire (a 6) at 7, Allan (a 13) at 6 and Ablett (Back Row) at centre. Are you proud of your 2 kicked goals?

No doubting that Leeds had some really talented players missing but there's no way the two injury lists are balanced!

Sinfield, Senior, Webb, Burrow, Eastwood (waiting for visa)

Brough, Obst, Rooney, Leo Latu, Moore, Snitch, Petersen, Sculthorpe, Murphy, Winterstein (waiting for visa)

We lost ali after 20 minutes not to return plus with everyone fit murphy wouldn't be in your 17 that's like us listing worrall and ben-jones-bishop.
Both teams had key players missing but still battled well.

I understand what you're saying but in that 20 mins Ali scored your 1st try also we lost Halley during the game too.

Murphy iscrelevant because he would have been a second choice centre or winger and without him we had to promote Blake who isn't even full time.

I could have named Southerwood as missing for the same reason as without Brough, Obst & Rooney Cain Southernwood is our only other halfback, without him we are further weakend.

Yes ,the kicker is in my fantasy league team.

Every cloud and all that

Just got home from the game...I can't be d trawling through the thread but what I will say is that I am reallyproud of the team tonight......the best moment of the game for me is when Leeds bombed a try, Scott Grix found himself locked in the in goal area and did a fantastic job in getting himself out, it was a great piece of skill/strength to go straight over the top of a Leeds player, and weave his way out. I thought that it would lift the team and we could push on....not to be though!

On the whole, plenty of positives for me- just a little tweaking needed.

Fair call mate your lads let no-one down and with that commitment and effort when you are full strength you'll be even harder to beat.

Ok, i dont really want to start a who had worse injuries war/debate but halley came off after 40 mins,

But the replacements that leeds had to cover there injuries far outweigh in quality wise the replacements we had for our injuries, did you have a part-time tradesman making his debut. ?

Anyway onto the game, We gave another spirited display full of desire and will, 1st try leeds put a bomb / cross field kick to halley whilst under pressure he dropped it leeds scored (1 mistake 1 try).
We get a pen martin takes too from the subsequent drop out blaymire ran about 30 metre's to try catch ball he goes running towards it with his hand out and drops it they score (2 mistakes 2 try's), we had numerous efforts held up over the line several times, some poor kicks from martin near there line reduced our chances but a debateable forward pass in the 1st half against gleeson prevented a try for us.

We made several breaks MOST FROM DREW WHO WAS AGAIN FIRST CLASS, DICTATING PLAY, and forwards did well but got abit tired over the end, leeds made 1 break from the scrum end of first half, blanch made two by himself only to be ankle tapped twice.

I'm not going to complain too much about ganson but i know he's been improving his piggy backing technique,

Atkins came on looked fit , made hard yards made breaks and twwatted a leeds player, shame it wasnt mcguire but any of em will do

Towards the end bibey, wilkes and stosic were off (iirc) which affected go forward, btf we played quite an expansive game from US,

Everyone played well, blake did well although he was put on wing didnt do anything wrong, our young lads did well, grix improving again looking good, blaymire safe as houses bar 1 mistake (but couldnt do much else if im honest)

So dont get downbeat the effort spirit and desire was there and it is my firm belief that if obst had been on the park we would have won that game we had so many chances but couldnt get over the finishing line as it were,

Roll On Salford - were coming to get you

Is He A Part-Time Tradesman Because He Isn't Good Enough To Be A Full-Time Rugby League Player?...

Yes he is a part-time tradesman that has only had 1 week of training, Ok, what was his name, which posistion did he play and what did he do right and wrong?

I look forward to a reasoned comment not a blatant troll attemot
