Tom Briscoe pretending to be a ball player wasn’t the smartest play I’ve seen.

Quote ="LeedsTiger"Looks like big Mik has alleged some abuse was directed against himself. It's annoying we keep having to come back to this nonsense.... https://youtu.be/UIWbTOwmDPc'" Carney mentioned it after the game on sky last night, he said it was in the wake of the danny walker try, but oledzki had been off the pitch for about 5 minutes after he picked up the injury, so not sure when It was. Looked like wire fans at both ends so, could have been at any of the tries scored.

In his interview Agar says King didn’t get on because the middles were going alright and he had to get briscoe on and off for Dwyer, I’m sorry but he also said there were players who couldn’t move at training yesterday and it was clear at least that zane was blowing. So he used 2 interchanges on 50% of the bench and the rest on an over worked Oledzski and Prior. If you want to point out the players individual errors put your hand up to your own Agar. Oledzski now with an injury from a fatigued body too?

Ni doubt Jon Wells will be happy with the result. Cretin.

Blake Austin wasnt very good last night, he was pretty poor. But its one game, im still pretty happy with his signing, offers a real threat, think he'l be a good addition.

Agar got shown up last night picking L.Briscoe in the 1st place then using him at 9 for 10 minutes when O'Connor is blatantly a better option
Then he botched the rotations on the rest of the pack p!$$ poor squad management.
He isnt good enough as a Coach to tske us to the next level we need better.

I know....

Iv grew to like Agar, but he did seem to balls it up last night, Holroyd barley got any time, L Briscoe 10 minutes and King nothing, awful use of the interchange. And we'd still of got the win if it wasnt for the stupidity of T Briscoe.

You know what Agar would say to that, that briscoe can cover any injuries in the backs... Not a reason to carry someone on the bench for me.

Wants to just flog Mik and prior to death as he's not the full trust in the other options. Poor.

Well you haven't because you've lost 3 games off the top of my head after leading at the break in like the last month... your attack is there but defensively (aside from Hull) you're pretty shaky imo.

Id say he was talking bollox

Nor me

That was mainly due to playing so many games in close succession bud. We were gassed in the second half in a fair few games. We’re a top 5 team all day long but we’ve had dreadful luck this season with injury and covid

I agree. Plus shipping 27 pts doesn't do us any favours... but a number of games in a short space of time and tight turnarounds doesn't help either.

I want to see games decided on ability and at full strength.

If this world cup debacle is not being rectified and we cant get the Aussies and Kiwi's over we need to knock it on the head and get the season stretched out instead of ludicrous 3 games in 10 days nonsense thats repeatedly happening to teams. We need to be showcasing our game at the highest performance levels and at the moment we are seeing more and more fatigued teams playing punch drunk half cocked squads.

Maybe Agar did make a couple of mistakes last night, but I still think the ledger is balanced in his favour. The most crucial mistake was made by the video ref. Players make errors because they are often injured and exhausted, which hopefully we can accept as fans. Hicks failure to note the clear video evidence can only suggest he'd popped out for a brew, missed it, and just assumed Kendall had got it right. Genuinely a massive call in the context of the game and I sincerely believe Leeds would have won otherwise. Would love to hear Hicks explanation, but will more likely hear that Agar is up before the beak for insubordination. None of this is meant to decry Warrington, who I thought were excellent to watch.

Dumb rugby by some of our players (along with a horrendous VR decision) cost us the game not Agar.

Quite, 6 up with 5 minutes to go we should have been able to manage that

Newman and Prior bombing an easy score didn’t help either

Leeds bombed it. Not playing Vuniyayawa when the pack was exhausted is absolutely inexcusable. Dealing with awful refs is to be expected nowadays for all SL teams.

We have a lot to be excited about still. I think if we can retain Holroyd and Martin, bring in Austin and a top winger similar to Scott Donald alongside Handley then we would be genuine contenders next season.

1. Myler
2. Scott Donald type winger 3. Newman 4. Broadbent 5. Handley
6. Austin 7. Sezer
8. Oledzki 9. Leeming 10. Prior
11. Bentley 12. Martin
13. Tetevano

14. Dwyer
15. Smith
16. Holroyd
17. Mellor

Their last Try was a DH run at a gassed & injured Tetevano & Dwyer we had an unused Prop on the bench & a lad used to playing 9 carrying the kicking tee & water.
Agar cost us as much as any plater his selection & squad rotation were shocking lsst night.

Yeh got to agree with most of this.
The team made mistakes in the last few minutes.
But Tetevano was clearly gassed - he’s coming off a 6 week lay off with COVID, no wonder!
Poor decision to play him so long when we have King on the bench.
And in hindsight, a poor decision to play Briscoe at dummy half. O’Connor was the obvious choice.
Dwyer was also gassed after playing for so long, so it was a big risk.
But Agar has credit for me, especially with Kev leaving.
I think he’ll be disappointed with some of his decisions this morning though….

People are forgetting the first half. We gifted them two tries straight after we’d scored through dropped balls from the kick offs and lazy D from Prior. That was nothing to do with Agars use of subs. Warrington had no ball in the first half yet scored 2 try’s

The 2 aren't mutually exclusive all the factors mentioned contributed to defeat including agars decisions.

I do agree Seth re Agars subs, it certainly didn’t help but for me the weight of the blame is on the players. We were the best side imo and should have won comfortably
