Here we go.

IF we had taken our chances we would have had the game won but we didn't and we paid the price. We have to get smarter but it was a good effort and we're not a million miles behind the likes of Leeds.
Not sure that any of the missing players would have made a difference.
Leeds were the better team on the night.

Dont think the first two tries to Leeds should have stood.

First was a knock on a play the ball, and the second was forward a mile.

How was that tackle just before half time not punished with a card, or even put on report.

That said, we had plenty of chances in the second half to win.

No lack of effort tonight, but just not smart enough.

Hope Fifita OK

Leeds didn't make as many errors as us and our kicking game was awful. However, the silver lining is that we have several 1st teamers to come back on and only lost by 2. Have a rest, dust ourselves down and get to the semi finals.

We seemed to stand far too back from them an gave fifteen metres before placing a hand on them.
Three things cost us the game in my opinion: a) the blatant forward pass that gave them their first try, b) our failure to go for the two points on that first penalty in front of the post and c) the shocking pass from Grix when their line was wide open.
Ah well, bring on the next game. Our first defeat after seven wins would have to be against bloody Leeds

We looked a bit tired at times and losing Fifita after only his second touch didn't help. A few players out injured, a few rested, and a couple returning from injury and still only lost by 2. Won't lose any sleep over that defeat.

OK so Grix had a few of his brain-farts and Finn's last minute "Wide to West" moment didn't really help.
Leeds won that because of their last play kicks. Sky high bombs with snow on them in a swirling wind versus little dollies over the top straight into the arms of the fullback.
Lets hope the decision to rest players for Thursday pays off else it's a double wammy by Chester.

Wakefield are a good side this season, league position/ results and their willingness to dig deep (when I've watched them) are testament to that. We could have easily caught a cold in this fixture, but the Rhinos dug deep themselves. An exciting game and credit to both sides. As said, some very tired bodies.

Leeds made fewer errors and as said kicked better. Think we missed Arona, Huby and Kirmond for real go forward. Fifita running straight at Ferrers who put his shoulder straight into his knee also led to o an early exit and playing with a prop light. Hope he is OK for next Thursday



BJB had a bit of a nightmare with the high kicks.
Sio and Annakin were poor in my opinion and don't break tackles, Trin need greater strength in depth. Should give Crowther a go. Allgood played well and put in some decent hits.

Not the best game to watch both teams looked tired but gave Leeds a match.

Agree with most points made.

Our kicking game was crap, theirs was good.
Our brain farts were too numerous to mention.
Biggest mistake of night was after about 10 minutes in second half, penalty under posts, Clawson runs out with kicking tee. we refuse 2 pts and F up next PTB!!!! that decision cost us a draw.

Having said all that, to play that bad with a below strength side and miss out that narrowly shows how far we have come.

Cost us the win, I think. Leeds scored back to back tries straight after and momentum switched.

Lucky you.

We made too many too errors and had a terrible kicking game, simple as that. Grix & BJB had games to forget and we were nowhere near smart enough with ball in hand. Still don't have to wait long to put it right. Sounds like Fifita will be struggling for the cup game which is a blow.

To save starting a new thread, did anyone catch what tonight's crowd figure was?

Just over 7,100.

Cheers wildshot!!

As the title suggests ... End of- too many errors .

Yeah our kicking game was bad.
Grix and BJB are both instantly forgiven because they are both part of the reason we are so high in the league.
Let's move on!

Good guess (as Bentham was sht) but wrong, Finn was 'Down Town' after the offside Leeds players had forced Grix into losing ground

2 big errors cost us the game. Not sure who shoots out of the line to close Moon down but doing so and not getting anywhere near him sucked too many bodies into the middle giving them space out wide. The dropped bomb they probably weren't communicating as BJB was waiting and Grix probably should have left it for him but instead bumps into him.

Add to that when grix passes to touch instead of Arundel in the first minutes of the 2nd half. It seemed easier to score

Disappointing to lose but, Leeds controlled pretty much all of the second half and it has to be said , with a pretty basic game plan.
Their and every one of their kicks seemed to cause us some problems.# forwards made far more metres than we could and it was 5 drives and a kick.
Of course there was their try from a blatant forward pass that even their own fans seemed slightly embarrassed about and the pass into touch with a 2 man overlap but, they controlled the second 40.
The few times that we got into any sort of attacking position, we came up with an error.

Move on, Salford on Thursday and i's going to be another close game.

Think it's the 3rd game on the bounce the Rhinos have done us with a better kicking game! A few key players were off their game last night, but a good result on Thursday & all will be forgotten. We've had a great run which had to end at some point, just disappointing when you beat yourself albeit with some help from the ref.

I thought both teams were very good defensively, with Leeds being a bit more clinical.

I personally thought Our first try was forward but Wakey's last one looked like an obstruction in front of the posts when the ball went wide. All in all i thought the 'bad' descisions as such evened themselves out.

Been very impressed by Wakey in general this season, you have some real strike and some grafters in the middle, but as others suggest maybe just lake that winning edge.

If Wakey fans were being honest and watched their tries closely then for your first when McGuire puts the kick up Finn does look at Watkins and steps into him causing him to fall instead of jumping for the ball and for the last try someone clearly bumps into Galloway stopping him from getting to the Wakey man in possession so you had your own strokes of luck in scoring.
