promise me you wont reproduce....

too late on that score...psst I think I will stick around here. Nor trolling not breaking any AUP so unless someone promoted you to Moderator I will just ignore you.

Thanks for the (small minded village mentality) welcome but I realise its not typical of true RL afficionados (look it up if a multi syllable word causes you problems)

All the best to true Wakey fans and to the players and coach and may the best team win. Always look forward to this fixture

Guys give it a rest

Double A did try and warn you but you didn't listen. Why didn't you listen?

sorry i missed the tackle on him,


Hope you enjoyed the way you played tonight

Eh?

I did actually. Only conceded 1 try in 2 games. Fantastic!

Well i hope you play everygame like you did tonight, you'll win FA and before you start we wont win owt either but we dont expect it

We already got cravendale (sp) cup

1-0 to us so far then

Can't believe it though, Leeds win and still some of their fans moan.

We played like that last week as well. Guess what? We've got 4 points and are top of the league! And they reckon SL is getting more competitive!



PS Lazenby Cup? 1-1!

what happened to Obst?

Atkins played like a champion.

obst was injured in the warm up. no idea why as yet.
atkins was difficult to handle last night, looks to have really bulked up over the close season.
an enjoyable game between 2 injury hit teams and we had more strength in depth,as you might expect. both sides will improve i would expect in the coming weeks. shame that idiot in the orange had to ruin what was a good game to watch

Agreed.

a sensible Rhino's fan with a sensible post, you are a rare breed

Do champions make unforced errors with silly offloads on the first tackle that could have really cost us? Or at times go looking for the scrap rather than trying to progress up the pitch?

He may have talent, but he's still a lot of learning to do if he wants to use it consistently.

Not a bad effort from us at all, all things considered. Plenty of positives to take from the game when taking into account that everything was against us (including loosing our best tackler in the warm up) - positives for me include:

Atkins looking pretty good first time up
Stosic seeming to have a good game
Blaymire looking pretty assured (apart from getting skinned in the second half)
Tony Martin playing well (out of position) and even showing some decent pace
Gleeson having a good go too

Our main problem was getting the ball to the 3/4, where it looked like Atkins and Gleeson had a chance of getting round their men - but this happened all too few times. Pretty understandable though to be fair considering the reshuffle required at the 11th hour. If the bounce of the ball had gone the other way, that shocker from the kick off hadn't happened then it could have been a different story.

Was reasonably impressed with him myself, looked more interested in getting stuck in than many times in the last couple of years. Don't mind seeing a penalty for aggression, shows he is up for it. What did he get binned for, can't have been the tackle itself as I though that was legit myself.

Any idea about the injuries from last night.

another positive from last night for me is the form of Drew he was class again last night and the effort from the rest of the lads give me plenty of optimism for the season, if we have a side left to put out that is

Tried his hardest - but was (understandably) on his own many times due to circumstance. Can't knock Drews effort but was not as effective last night than at Wigan. We looked tired, but again you can see why. Don't forget they had a much easier game last week and an extra 2 days rest.

I thought he went in with the knees but Ganson seemed to signal that it was for a punch during the tackle. This is obviously guess work due to the e vantage point at Headingley.

Thought we pretty much matched leeds in the game and were probably on top in the second half just a couple of crazy mistakes and a lack of creativity near the line cost us the game. All credit to leeds though who managed to struggle through despite their injury ravaged squad.

Not having a go per se, I just think people should be wary on bigging him up too much when his decision making and focus in a game can be frustrating. He was looking for the scrap in tackles before the sin bin, rather that going for the gap. The silly offload annoyed me more though, we'd just broke up field after taking the pressure, first tackle, all the chance to make leeds work down their end of the field. Just take the tackle, don't try to be a hero.

I thought we played as well as we were allowed to last night. Leeds were good defensively, we lacked a cutting edge which couldn't be helped due to injuries but tried to open them up.

Defensively we worked over time and showed some desire and pride and gave our all. Unfortunately Leeds are a very good team and sometimes the ball didn't bounce our way.

I was pleased with our performance, we stuck at it and never gave up
