I knew it was high. But good god, 64 tackles!!?? 8th worse count in Super League history. Sort it out Mr Poching!!

Amazingly, Thaler wasn't on the list, which is kind of surprising given the number of Rovers fans laying the blame entirely at his doorstep.

Maybe so Stan, still doesn't excuse him being a s##thouse ref in these parts tho.

Our attack is fine, just need a week on the tackle bags now. That really is a worrying statistic. I don't know what's more impressive - the fact we made all those missed tackles or the fact that Leeds only won by ten because of it.

Just watched the game again on Hull KR TV and yes our missed tackle count was high, but we ran out of gas after 65 minutes and after that we were running on empty. Thaler made some shocking decisions which directly and indirectly cost us at least 12 points. Dixon and Welham had shockers. MacCarthy was OK, so I take it all back from my earlier post in which I said he needs to step up.
Yes we need to sort out our fitness, line speed, play the ball and defence. Cockayne to fullback and Blair to centre next week please CC and Weyman and Bailey to come in.

Agree with all of this , Carl ablett ruined McCarthy at times as did Watkins with welham but having watched the game back again i don't think campese helped welham to much both of them love to shoot out the line

leeds missed plenty themselves until they woke up in the 2nd half

I didn't see the game, but from reading the comments and stats it sounds like you have plenty of improvement in the team.
Match fitness and a few better defenders back from injury and you should have a very competitive side.
I imagine the side will only get better as the different players learn to work together.

Campese should have been spelled, he was shattered in the last 20 minutes, he made some bad decisions and missed tackles in this period.
Kenny Sio should play at full-back next week, he's too good to sit out on the wing.
Thaler was a disgrace, but thats what we've come to expect from a rugby league referee.

You there were you?

Your man josh didn't miss a kick at goal

It would be more like news if he did miss. He has a lot of games with a 100% record, but sometimes when he misses one he makes it 2 or 3 for the game.

I saw the tries back last night and the obstruction on Horne was a joke even allowing for the new interpretation this season.

The defence is a real worry.
