Agree but what's with the over reaction?

No over reaction... thats why I winked. I had been out since 1pm though and had just got in so I will appologise for my drunken having a laugh outburst

Fair enough.

I was hacked off that we didn't really find any form to speak of and were so comprehensively outplayed on Sunday but having been a Leeds fan for too long you pretty quickly learn to get over a result like this. If you don't then you end up not a Leeds fan you end up dead meat.

Not sure what the hysterics is all about. We are certainly short of one maybe two 'world class' siginings to be competing for doubles and or trebles. Still good enough to be right in the mix at the end of the year. As far as I can see we haven't actually really clicked yet all season and at this stage Saints are clearly better than us (as are Huddersfield probably) and we may even struggle on Friday.

Will this still be case as the summer unfolds? Who knows? That's what makes the game interesting. Now we get to see how good a coach Bluey actually is...

Yeah, I never let any results get me down now. Take the rough with the smooth. It's only a game and if we are out played then fair enough. As for the players, I think we have a good enough squad to win everything. Yesterday though we relied too much on individuals trying to create something. We played deep enough for the most but all that means diddly squat if its simple pass pass rugby. No dummy runners just makes it easy for a side who are structured defensivly well like Saints. I also for the life of me dont know why we marked Gidley up with Burrow in our own 10/20. He gets the offloads out against guys his size so it came as no surprise to me when Burrow was caught out a couple of times. In that situation Senior needed to be onto him as he received it.

I thought that Burrow against Gidley was a mismatch, but the other option would have been Burrow up against Petula or whoever else played backrow on that side
