I thought Washbrook was better than Horne today personally as at least he was trying to take charge when we were in Leeds 20 instead of Horne either dropping a prop off or passing to Manu and hoping he can do something special out of nothing.

I agree, Horne did a made a couple o breaks but that was it...also our kicking was very poor

Lauaki if he could channel his aggression he'd be a top class player, but until he does he'll continue to be a liability for you guys! as for the slap on burrow, rob for me is the toughest player in super league! i'd like to see him slap kylie leulaui he'd get owned

And when he made that great break down the middle he slowed down looking for support play and there was nobody there at all!!!

Bailey had a go at lauki ...lauki thought id retaliate then the little upstart joined in and got a slap and then lauki felt sorry for the little guy.

Lauki wouldnt have a problem going toe to toe with anyone and thats what I like about him ...unlike bailey the big girl

Its getting pretty bad when we are proud of players slapping the smallest player on the field! What a hardnut! The pass for Tanseys try was so far forward it was an embarressment. Poor team effort led by poor coach!

Yes I know....unbelievable

I agree when the pressure is on Lauaki loses his head and gives away needless penalties.
He did some really good stuff , but that is tempered by his poor discipline at times.

It isn't really. Our centres are usually picking their noses back down the pitch somewhere. The team doesn't move about the pitch as a unit and hasn't done so for about 5 years.

Burrow started the fracas by pushing Lauaki which is why he was sent off. The main culprit as ever was Bailey who nipped in for a cheap shot then ran off as fast as he could.

Im guessing you didnt see the game



Burrows started on Lauki and lauki laughed and gave him a slap

Hence y it was Burrows in the bin and not Saint Lauki

Doubt it pal!

A tad harsh. He popped a rib early on but carried on playing as we were already a man down with Radford injured. Considering that I don't think he did badly TBH.

Agree, thought Manu was stand out and Briscoe tried.

Thats a fair point Kosh but wasnt aware of the injury when i posted my article plus most players go off when there injured so full credit to him for trying to stay in the fight if you can call it that.

I dont think you can doubt anybodys effort, ledds go forward was terriffic, sinfield led them around off the back of that and kicked everything in sight. We on the other hand tried hard but succumbed to a couple of injuries, a red hot leeds team that wouldve beaten anybody today, a few nightmare decisions by players and officials, and mostly a severe lack of leadership and creativity

Sinfield is as good as you'll get in club rugby, Leeds are very fortunate to have him.

Our line speed is roughly half what it was at the start of the season.

We don't get enough players in the tackle.

We have no speed and sharpness from acting half.

Dummy runners are patchy to say the least except when we put on second man wedges.

We have lacked aggression in recent games.

We don't have a half back playing at the opposition's line.

These problems are getting worse not better.

cant argue with that...excellent leader and performer

Just a shame that he is paid to play rugby, and not box. because he looked all power and aggression hiding in the centres the whole second half.

thats called playing out-wide my friend same as manu does on the other flank...
as for bailey, what a complete git.....shame on him most of the time, chep-shot merchant....

Think your wrong there boxing isnt his style but after a nice pile driver on Brent Webb the World Wrestling Fedration may have a future for him

That is his problem don't you see that? Why doesn't he channel his talent into positive ways other than trying to be the man?
You are not going to be a destructive influence on a game getting drawn in all the time. This is no troll attempt but an honest assesment. He should learn from how Bailey goes about his stuff. Bailey gets stuck in and ruffles feathers but does not get involved in the i'm the man stuff. Can you imagine how good luaki (sp) could be with a cooler head and much better channelled agression. Teams would really fear him other than just target him.

Again will not do him any good in SL.

Our attack is laboured
The passing is man to man and therefore easy to read and predictable
Offloads are just a hopeless pass behind and not to a player.
