I thought the ref was ok. I was at the game but I've been told by mates that Roby did touch the ball that resulted in a drop out and also the Tommy one was correct.

The blame is on the players. They miss the tackles, they drop the ball, they make the wrong calls.

I watched the game on TV, as I was reffing myself when it was on live. Silverwood had a good game. Leeds had a good game. Saints didn't.

Simple as that, really. This thread should be locked before people embarrass themselves.

If we are going to lock threads to stop people embarrassing themselves. Well there goes most of the threads.

I believe the phrase is control your controllables.

I'll probably get rounded on by some on here. But I thought that we were in that at times today. But the amount of cheap ball we gave up told in the end.

We have field position. We had possession. But just daft stuff, not even pressurized mistakes.

Saints had a bad ref? Quelle Suprise

Having just watched the match back (I must be mad) I think you'll find we had no ball and no territory.

It was something like 39% of ball we had.

Re: Silverwood : Sat Apr 26, 2014 10:12 pm  

We had enough. But we still coughed it up when we were in striking range

I don't think 39% is enough and the territory stat ( I can't remember) was heavily in Leeds favour also.

Having watched it back, we were absolutely slaughtered. They made 50-60 metres per set consistently and when they didn't their kicking was either superb or hoofed dead, where we were kicking from inside our 40 more often than not. We never really escaped from that bar the couple of penalties before the Jones try. Leeds made easy metres, completed sets and had the composure to exploit our failures to number up defensively.

What really disappointed me was the execution on the few occasions we did get sets in Leeds's 20. We consistently wasted three tackles with really lazy passes to the first man and never had the patience to apply any pressure.

Today was as bad as it comes performance wise. We were never in the game.
