Another tough one to take but as others have said some cracking performances from our boys. A few loose carries and poor passes gave Leeds the win today if we had got some points in that dominant first 10 minutes the scoreline would have been so different.
On another note was thrilled to see 'amateur' Workington Town beat 'iconic' Bradford today

Lost last 5 games by a total of 20 points! Not good enough. Need to find a way of closing a game out.

Still fuming tbh, a few dodgy calls by the ref & by the end he didn't have a clue what was going on around him. However, I thought we looked good in the 1st half but switched off when we were 8 points to the good. Some of the defensive efforts were garbage in that period & cost us. I've been supportive of the team so far, but pretty miffed by this loss.

I heard a few things about Paulie Paulie today which doesn't sound good & someone mentioned earlier, hope night true but if they are then time for Annekin or Crowther to get a chance.

I understand why people are disappointed with the score but we played really well.
We had chances that we didn't turn in to points. We threw the ball around with a lot of success and we were dangerous even without 3 of our most senior players. Clearly Leeds missed a couple too.

I thought Horo was excellent in defence and good in attack. 13 clearly suits him.
We'll never know whether Finn would have made a difference but Hampshire definitely added something. His goal kicking was spot on; he ran at the line and caused chaos sometimes and he was good in defence running Hall down at one point. I like him.
Max was safe at the back. I reckon Grix might have had slightly more in attack near the line but he stopped a certain try 1 on 1.

The one controversial thing I'll say is for all of Ashurst's tireless defence and hard running, he isn't busting through the line. We need to work on that, whether it is the pass or the run.

I dont normally bag the players but Pauli Pauli wasn't good enough today.

When everyone is fit Fifita, England, Huby and Hirst are the starting props for me.
Hirst was excellent today.

I don't know how to feel anymore as, yet again, we lose a game we should have won. Yes, as many have said above, we played well....well we did for 55 of the 80 mins but once again we dipped alarmingly for 25 mins of the 2nd half and, just like Hull, woke up again once we had gone behind. The difference in the 2 teams? In the first half our completion rate wasn't great but we still managed a lead as Leeds made their own fair share of errors too and we played well for a good part of the half. 2nd half Pauli Pauli gave away another pen that put us on the back foot, his knock on in the first half having led to a try too. We lost impetus as Leeds got their line speed on overdrive and tackled us into submission. We didn't seem to have an answer and the players looked very flat I thought. I am puzzled why, at one of the interchanges, we seemed to leave ourselves with only one prop on the pitch (is that correct?) This was definitely at the time when they started to steam roller us.
I don't want to be too critical but I am afraid saying 'oh we played well' only to lose narrowly again, is beginning to wear a bit thin.
I think Pauli Pauli could do to sit a few games out now. He is carrying that injury and has cost us quite a few points in quite a few matches. The rest of the team and CC need to really thrash out why we fold for periods of matches as it is getting ridiculous now.

I hope so. I worry that the pressure to beat those sides will get to us if we keep losing like this though. Nobody in the bottom 4 or 5 is a push over.

Is this true?

The score was disappointing but the way we played was not. We actually looked like a team who had played together before. We have found our halves for the future and a kicker who looks well above average.

I hope not too as I like the guy and he is generally doing ok I think. However, yes I think perhaps a bit of pressure is building. I certainly think talking of getting rid of him is ridiculously premature given the run of games we have had against the better sides but I heard a few mumblings about his job for the first time today. And the comments re Kear's absence making the difference, which I did respond to the person saying that by saying that we were doing this last year with Kear there to some extent too. Maybe this is where the slight gap in player quality in certain positions kicks in; you can't keep it going the full 80. I can't see a coach change helping and I don't think the vast majority of us are anywhere near thinking that yet. I might take a different view if we lose any to those outside the 8 at the moment though

I've seen Fifita have worse games when he first arrived and got hero worshiped almost immediately. He was unlucky with the head high, particularly with Ablett dishing out plenty, but again without England and Fifita is he not supposed to play. I think Pauli is taking over Williams' role as the ex NRL player Trinity fans love to bag.

Would you play him above the other 4?

Far too soon to start bagging the coach, especially given the quality of the opposition. I would be starting to worry more if we don’t start picking up wins in some of the winnable games.

I agree that the constant bagging of refs by some of our fans is embarrassing at times.

Today, it came down to decision making and not playing for a full 80. We were attacking right at the end of each half, and for me, on both occasions we took the wrong option.

We did switch off at times last year, but got away with it sometimes.

All have their benefits, all have errors in them, but I like all of them they each offer something different and would be happy for them to be rotated around. We're not seeing the best of Pauli but then 8 games in settling into a new country after a car accident he was never gunna hit the ground running.
