Danny trained all week without a problem but didn't feel right after the warm up! No confusion?

Agar if i remember rightly said he had a reaction to a pain numbing injection right before the game.

Why did we sit a a player on the bench for 80 mins?

No idea??

But then again I don't profess to being a professional rugby league coach?

Anyway, gutted about the result yesterday, a few silly mistakes here and there really cost us. But still I thought we'd just just done enough, before Leeds hit back at the end. Leaving the result to one side, it really was a great game of Rugby League. Edge of the seat, back and forth, with bits of skill thrown in by both sides. Great advert for the game, both games have tbh although this one was better than the last and I haven't seen the ground as busy or noisy as that in years.


Really does make it a must win for next time against Bradford, getting nothing out of these 2 games against Leeds. Play like yesterday though and cut out one or town poor options and we should win.

Everyone else thinks they are, so why be different

Try it, its easy, you pick some players and play them, you don't flog them a man short.

I can't help but think that last night was two points lost, and we have no one to blame but ourselves.

However, it was an entertaining game and the difference in class between us and Leeds is definitely getting smaller.

Here's my take on it. Lyne was 18th man in case coliss wasn't right, as it happens he was ok but kirmo unexpectedly pulled out. Ali to start 18th man to bench. Lyne couldn't have covered in the pack and I thought our centres did a pretty good job all in all. Why being on Lyne in one of the hardest positions to play just for the sake of it? Perhaps in hindsight annakin or wildie would have been a better 18th man choice but we don't know how the players have been pulling up in training all week.

That's far too sensible and logical

Always dangerous to generalise. I don't think anything of the sort. Personally, I didn't think Thaler got an awful lot wrong from my viewing position. We are clearly not the best side around though we have improved, though not by as much as we should have and that, in my view, is Agar's fault. Last night's defeat was in no small part to his inclusion of Lynne on the bench and then his non involvement, not that he was ever going to be involved unless Collis or another 3/4 got injured. We are about where we deserve to be but the cheers that came from the Leeds fans show the degree of respect the team has now.

Well they are very slow to learn...so frustrating. I really admired our guts last night. Some great plays, great intensity and some really rousing stuf...but alas, yet another match thown away, all the good stuff wasted by stupid, stupid things. Fewer than we've become accustomed to, I'll grant you, but they still lost us the match, along with Agar's brainless decision to include Lynne. His obsession with that boy infuriates me. I'd pack his bags and escort him to the coach dole office on those gounds alone if I had my way!

You'll get little change on here out of being sensible and logical - the doom and gloom has taken hold to such an extent, that people would rather believe that Agar deliberately threw away 2 vital points and a play-off place, as opposed to the situation you've described above.

Amusingly, if he had sent Lynn onto the pitch, he'd be getting slated on here for that; I just hope that when his contract comes to an end, the experts on here have their CV's ready - this forum must have the highest concentration of qualified SL coaches in the country - the future is bright!

Who would you bring in as the next coach?

At times for a clever lad you are so lame.
Nobody surely suggests Agar picked a bench to lose the game, but its not hard to follow that picking a limiting bench may well have contributed to a loss.
We were playing the champions surely its logical to assume the more factors we had in our favour is a plus?
