Quote ="jools"Just not good enough tonight. I’m afraid Oliver Russell had a poor game (and I don’t just mean his kicking) some of his passing was wayward also. And we just didn’t click in the link up. Leeds defended their goal line well- but we didn’t give them too much to think about- we just do the same single phase stuff we always do which is easy to defend against. One man one defender. This needs looking at with some new plays and second phase running.
If I were Watson I’d be thinking of leaving king out of the squad now- he isn’t our player- he’s moving on to wigan so has no vested interest in us beating or besting them. He’s been distinctly average so leave him out and put Leroy back at centre and give Innes another shot on the wing- he’s our player and will want to prove his worth. Louis is playing well outside a good centre!
I’m not going to blame the myler thing, or sezer taking out fages. We should have had the game won by then. Leeds were poor tonight, we were too. We just haven’t played well since Cas beat us after that run we put together after the CC final. We need to be better I’m afraid.
If that game were at home we would have beaten them- I hope to knock them back down to size in the playoffs at the JSS.'"
Our backs do lack pace and guile. Without Tui and Leutele we have a few who can finish but not create . Next year Leroy and Jerry will be a year older still good and loyal players but should not be first picks .
Being saying it for ages we need someone like Brodie Croft and Murphy
