Agree with that. Having O'Meley as our main strike player is certainly making a difference.

You make a good point. Of the 3 tries we scored on Friday, only 1 came from a move involving something more adventurous than a drive. And that came when a 14-man Leeds team were beginning to tire.

| Quote: Chet. U. Betcha "Ok they had a few players missing but we again had our first choice half backs missing for the majority of the game, and our full back. They had 3 out of 4 of their pivots playing (burrow, sinfield, buderus) when we only had Long for the first 40, Obst (in his first game for us and was expected to take over as organiser) and Houghton. At the end of the day the better team won.'"
If you're talking about 3 of their 4 as 6, 7, 9, and 13 as it appears, then so did we. You can't choose to ignore Fitzgibbon as a first choice pivot just because our coach decides our 13 doesn't play as one.
Bottom line is, we were missing:
First choice stand-off - so were they
First choice fullback - theirs lasted about 10 minutes
That's it. That's all we were without in the first half, and they had to work with exactly the same. But they were also missing half their first choice pack and still cruised through us.
The loss of Long was the only extra for us, but in all honesty we were no stronger with him than we were without him. We actually drew the 2nd half without him thanks to Leeds' fatigue.

| I will still be there, until the bitter end like usual. Huddersfield looked awful last night and although they'll want to turn things around next week, I fancy us to at least give them a run for their money.

Our attack doesn't concern you? For much of Friday night, we again looked clueless near their line. 2 of our 3 tries came from a prop barging over and the other was near the end of the game, when it was already lost, and we were throwing the ball around in desperation.
Similarly, against the dobbins, our last tackle plays were awful

Add to that if Moa's effort had a different outcome also. Route one again.

| It looks like pre-match festivities in Rickys Bar seeing as the Working Mans Club on the corner has now shut down.

It needs work yes but there are some promising signs there.

| To be honest its a chore going to home games let alone a away game, I,ll shall not be going until i see a team giving 100% effort and not that sh@te were having to watch at the moment, I dont mind us losing providing we give 100% but the manner in which were performing at the mo is painfull to say the least.

There were in the first 15 minutes against Rovers. Can't say I saw much against Leeds, but then we never got on top of their pack and they defend much better than Rovers.
The most optimistic I can be is to say that we have players with the skill sets to execute some good attacking play if only we could get them coached properly.

We broke their line plenty of times but lacked the support to turn them into tries, that is why Leeds beat us, they took their chances due to their superior support play. I can think of a Yeaman break, a Briscoe one, two from Whiting off the top of my head.
