Rhinos and Childs

I thought we were ok. Leeds had more at stake than us, but for a few silly individual mistakes and Childs we would have won. Have the RFL decided because of the one sided reffing in the challenge cup final they will help Leeds out in the odd game for the rest of this season? I hope Cudjoe is fine for wire.

I was very happy with that show, It was a lot more like our early season form and as Matt has said, with a bit better performance from Childs we could quite easy have won, Was a bit disappointed with Simson running out of the line and leaving Mcgilvray with no chance, Thought Leroy had a top game along with Robbo and Brough, but to be fair most of the team played well.

Dunno what is happening on our left edge now,and if our moves get stopped on our right edge it's important.Gilly used to be the decoy on the left side but now he gets the ball to drive in every time we take play down that side,so no overlap is created.Broughy is not the best pivot.

2 bad starts of each half is what did us today. Simpson jumping out of the line gave them a try, and i'll hold back until ive seen some of the decisions before I say owt about the ref, but it looked like he made a few booboos

Props not punching holes like they did.An old man like Peacock showed them up today.Doesn't give you much hope for next week despite what they will say in examiner and the smart ass web forum pundits who want to shout you down.(Not on here)

If Cudjoe is out, does anyone know who will be given the task of intercepting the ball and running it back the length of the field for the decisive try?

The Leeds forwards were the more powerful (especially early on both halves) But Brough kicking them back time after time offset that , As the halves went on we got better ,and i thought it was our best show for quite some time, We let in a couple of soft tries true, but on another day with another Ref we would probably have won. I am sure Warrington will be a lot harder, but we weren't supposed to beat them last year, either way i shall be there.

It wasn't Child imo it was discipline and silly errors that cost the game.

Ive not been watching the Giants for anywhere near as long as some on here, but for the duration I have been watching them one thing as always rang true and that is we seem unable to play 80 minutes. It's as though the ref springs it on them at 60 minutes and says 2sorry lads, were gonna go for 80 today" and it completely catches them off guard.

Simposn is still a waste of space btw.

Peacock was the best prop on the field, no doubt in my mind, but this is a team game and I know the props are spelled, but they seem to be running down a hell of a lot of tackles.
