They should all be able to go through the basic skills of the game. I don't give a crap about "guts and determination". I care about W's, and tonight, both teams were that bad that neither really deserved to win.

Utterly clueless.

Why, because I have the audacity to criticise one of the worst Leeds performances of the season?

People are talking like we had a team full of 16 year olds playing! We had our 1st choice 3/4 line, a "Harry Sunderland award winner and player of the series against NZ nearly a decade ago" playing in his "best" position and the future of the game at 6. We had experience in the pack, even when we picked up the injuries.

No wonder the crowds are down in general. A 3rd v 4th tie, no matter who's playing, should be of a much higher quality than what we witnessed tonight.

Utterly unwilling to look past your own team.

Your ''opinion'' is warped, I'm the poorer for having the misfortune to read them. Thankfully, no more. Ignore list.

What a little bitch

One of the worst performances of the season?!

Really?

Utterly clueless again, I follow Leeds and like to see them win but I'm far from a one eyed fan.

Bless.

Yes, in one of the worst games I have seen this season.

Both teams dropped so much ball. Leeds marker defence was a shambles too and they let Warrington make easy metres all game long.

I almost went tonight too. I'm truly happy I watched at home.

Let's just say for a minute that Zak kicked one of those conversions and we win. Considering we had numerous players out there whose appearances for Leeds haven't reached double figures yet, would you still be ashamed of the team tonight? After all, all you care about is if we 'get the W's' as you pointed out earlier.

So you believe tonight was a good game and that Leeds were skillful and played well?

Aww cute.

Yes, I said at half time to the people I was watching the game with how poor a first half it had been. Nothing in that second half changed my mind. The only difference would have been that I wouldn't have critised Leeds for switching off in the last minute.

So that's a no then?

I do.

Hang on where have I said that? Ive more perspective than you, the game was entertaining with flashes of real quality and some real frantic scrappy play. Far from the best game ever but entertaining and close, Leeds greatly understrength and wire having an off day in many respects, some forced and much of it unforced. But Christ, compare it to top flight football for entertainment, athleticism and character and we're bloody spoilt. Ashamed, get a grip.

Quality of the game was poor but it was entertaining. Both sides made mistakes and we struggled to keep hold of the ball very well. Defensively we gave everything and ran out of gas a minute too early.
Had the game finished all Square I know who would have been the happier coach. Though it's games like this where we miss Shinfield leading us around the pitch

No that was in response to 'bless' bitter 'NRL fan boy'.

I said ashamed for switching off in the last minute, as they did.

Entertainment and quality go hand in hand for me. If a game lacks quality, as tonight's did I just can't find it entertaining. I found myself flicking to see how Murray was doing a few times.

People criticise the NRL for its lack of expansive play, but jeez, give me the quality of both attack and defence over what Leeds have served up over the last 4 weeks any day.

i agree in terms of the quality of play on show - too much dropped ball, poor attacking cohesion at times, but I thought it was a very entertaining game. Could have gone either way. I'm definitely not ashamed of the performance though. Not sure why you are.

wow, really thought id logged on to SLFans with all this bitching.......
It was a good result. on paper that game was wires by 15+ points. im happy the lads didnt take a hammering and lose confidence.

Not quite.

[i"Leeds should be ashamed with how they've played tonight."[/i

Again, the only place I used ashamed was of that last minute where they switched off thinking they had got the draw.

Without wanting to sound like a broken record though, I just can't get any entertainment out of seeing that many errors, poor kicking from both teams and just a total lack of idea from both teams halfs.

As a neutral, you get this honest and fair assessment, and then you get people took in by the 'closeness of the score' and who hang on every word the sky commentary team say. They put a hell of a lot of spin on things to appeal to an audience, the game, in quality stakes was diabolical and in good conditions too. But people won't see past that..

I actually find it bewildering that so many people are against Harrigan's post. Just look at the knock-ons people for christ sakes! It was billed as the 'top game'!!
