| Got to say that for the most part our try line defence has lacked conviction this season. That said last night I thought the boys defended our line like their lives depended on it, effort, determination, agression and a massive desire to keep Leeds out was obvious to see. I have not watch the match back on TV yet but we were able to defend the line while Leeds had back to back sets several times. The standard has now been set, we now know they can do it. Hope the lads can repeat last nights heroic try defence from game one next season. I think every Leeds try was scored from distance, great pace and skill from Borrows and Ben Jones Bishop. I had Callum Watkins as man of the match, Think he is the best English centre in the game.

| I too need to watch the game on the telly, however from where I was stood we were given a lesson in pressure + possession = points.
Whilst we held them off for a long time the game turned away from us. Hopefully next season we will be able to build on this years play off experience as a team.

| Just a shame the defence further up the field wasn't up to scratch.

| Our goal line defence was superb. The effort and commitment shown throughout to stop them scoring was top draw.
Agree re defence further up field - very poor at times and this once again cost us dear (:

| We got turned over by flashes of individual brilliance from some of the most exciting young players in SL; we do have to defend those better, but as has been said, the line defence was heroic at times.
The scoreline is a poor reflection of what was the most closely contested game of the weekend.

| Honestly the following comment is not sour grapes as we were beaten - eventually - by the better side.
But.... those Leeds players must practise passing forward when running at pace. I have not had much to do this evening so have watched all of their tries in slow motion - you see I have Sky+ I reckon five of their tries included a forward pass, some of them clearly obvious - but not unfortunately to the fat middle aged men dressed in yellow. I of course cannot criticise any of the Trinity tries because that would be just plain daft.
