I agree,a poster on another thread stated it was the start of good game management,but we seemed to forget to carry it on throughout the game!

I don't think people are being fickle so much,its always the same after a defeat of this nature,people just point out various aspects of the game which were crucial at the time,i.e. Armstrongs pass,Hock's(who was are best forward) penalties,one or two may be a bit harsh in criticism,but thats born out of frustration.

The only thing i have really seen thats out of order is someone saying we are a team of bottlers,they haven't a clue if they think that.

On to Salford,big test,but a winnable game if we play like we can.

Well said JC.

Can't see how taking the 2 points lost us the game! Did taking the 2 make us miss tackles? Did taking two make hull kr get a roll on? Did I eck taking the 2 pushed the game out too 3 scores, we lost the game through our poor performance

Did we not have the chance to take a 2 pointer just before Armsrtong scored too push it to 3 scores?

Is so easy to sit behind a keyboard and pull players to pieces
They would have known the mistakes they made , time to draw a line under it and move on to Sunday's game

As a neutral the game changed when Blair strode through a gap without a hand on him with the full back nowhere in sight on 60 mins. Suddenly Leigh looked very fatigued and to concede two further tries from close range with defenders in attendance was a very un-Leigh lack of aggression/intent.

For me, the difference in the end was a little bit of Super league savvy.

As ex Wire coach Paul Cullen said in commentary, KR were just realising what they can & can't do & sticking to what they know.

Expansive rugby has got us to where we are, entertained everyone in RL Land & brought great plaudits from the press & other clubs coaches who have praised Paul Rowley & the team.

However, I am one of those who have been calling for better ball protection for a long time now.
What I am suggesting is 'Not' that we go away from the expansive game, more adapt & bring in some SL level ball protection & defensive savvy.
Quite often in viewing back a televised game or on Centurions T.V I have noticed how easily teams find an off-load or break tackles & the reason I see most often is not clamping the ball in the tackle or too long to get the 2nd man into the tackle.

Now, I am no coach but I have played at a good amateur level in both RL & RU.
I still have full faith in PR & the team we love & I do believe we will improve in the 8's, but on Saturday at 24-6 up I think we missed a golden opportunity.

My last point, the free play 'try' was just plain bizarre, barmy, still believe it should have been ruled no try & at that point Leigh are still in the game.

The game reminded me of our game against leeds when we was leading 30- 14 and ended up getting beat 30-42 they just wore us down and we were out on our feet and they got a roll on FWIW I would have taken the 2 it pushed to 3 scores

Banned as I will no doubt be soon enough because I seem to notice things aren't rosey in the RL garden.
As for jaybs......he refers to me outing him as having drifted the thread as spam......its almost pythonesque. He's a very naughty boy

Would not be surprised. We Leythers don't do pythonesque cos we don't know what it means.

Mind you I believe in free speech so imo you should post what you like.

Innit something to do with snakes or is that a bit Fawlty?
