Think we twice had a penalty near posts where we should have taken 2 and chose to run the ball and dropped it. If we had kicked those the last try would have levelled the game giving Sykes a chance to pinch it.

Ah well onward we go that's the last post from me dwelling on this topic.

This.

As stated not sure what happened to the post I wrote - I'll re write to explain my frustration shortly.

i only recall one opportunity early in the second half and we ended up scoring through Trout.
Our decisions not to take the 2 have been 100% correct in recent weeks, I just don't understand the fascination with taking the 2 all the time, its old hat, except maybe in bad conditions where point are at a premium. Points were not at a premium last night.

Tend to agree, Leeds were there for the taking and the players seemed confident to take them on.

Can't recall too many opportunities to take the two tbf....

There's nowt like a Wakey board for a bit of sackcloth and ashes.

You've just won 3 on the bounce.....that's 3 big steps forward. You may have missed out on the points last night, but you put 40 on the champions in their home midden. Not so much as a step backwards more of a small one sideways FFS. And there's a good chance to turn over the Bulls next as well.

Progress, is one game at a time People..... so about Prince William's Coronation you could be giving us a fright!

Defo a lost 2 points couldnt get to the game listned on the net and just watched on Rhinos site.3 trys gifted through poor tackles Mathers did have a brain fart but lets not forget hes been one of our best players so far.Just out of interest heres points against the rhinos at home highest first

London 10

Its one that got away but something to work on and at least now Sykes is at half back we can score trys and plenty of them.

We're in lofty company there, although most of them had doubled up after the weekend.
I'm still totally gutted

Just as gutted here in Outwood mate but would have been well happy getting at least close 6 weeks ago.

Just watched the highlights, some of the tries conceded were simply laughable and if had been Trinity who had doubled up it would at least been understandable. The same mistakes and weak defence which have haunted the team over the last few weeks keep occurring with no signs of improving.

On the plus side the attack looked more effective and ruthless when presented with an opportunity to score, although how much that could be attributed to fatigue from Leeds is open tp debate.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching our attack tonight, the structure, depth and dummy runners made it troublesome for Leeds to defend. We looked like scoring on every attack but as you rightly point out you must take fatigue and motivation into account as Leeds never looked like they wanted to be there.

In the same respect, whilst our attack was sublime, our defence was embarassing at times. Lets just hope it gets fixed pretty sharp as it's letting the team down

Should be a good game. The bulls need to win for the 8... they also have a point to prove after the Saints game & seem to stick together whenever we have `bad news`. I wouldnt have thought it'd be a walk in the park for either side though. Ref is Robert Hicks BTW.. & The referee in which we've won more with is Ben Thaler this season.. Non of the above

Kyle Amor and Andy Raleigh were the best forwards on the pitch by a country mile; Paul Aiton was an absolute machine - again; Tim Smith was brilliant.

All very positive signs - must hit the tackle bags this week though and fix up our leaky defence; Hardaker and BJB are hard to stop in broken field, but the Ablett try was unforgivable.

Mr Silverwood is far too easily influenced by Sinfield and the Southstand; his decisions were laughable at times, particularly the forward pass that never was and the 'knock-on' that if true, would have required the reflexes of a rattlesnake for that ball to be played at.

Bring on The Dulls - I fancy us for this one.
