Their 3rd looked well dodgy, the winger must have been 2 foot out when he made that pass.

Watch it later on and you will find out it was not.

It was westwood that made the pass wasnt it. He definitely was not in touch mate from what I saw and I sit around the 30m mark. However i am far from always being right.

didnt look in touch to me either... we were awful today and wire were better

most teams will suffer a blip though.. hopefully ours wont be too long

still 4th in the table.. id of taken that at this stage of the season..

Part of the problem has to be that we have been winning as a result of working very hard and playing as a team with strong defence. that takes it out of you over a season and is hard to maintain. We really need to be resting some of our players and giving them a chance to recuperate. It was for that i reason i started the Korkidas thread. We need him to come in and give the props a good rotation.

Additionally we need to cut out the handling errors. those STUPID off loads which we do on the first or second tackle are ridiculous. Step forward for worst player of the match today Martin Aspinwall, ( although some others pushed him close.)

Also some of our tackling out wide was poor today. Hodgson, fatz and Lawrence needed to hit the centres harder to stop offloads which led to tries.

.

we need to make some chanbes for MM and i would rest half the team against Rochdale. Lunt, Korkidas, leroy, Tom, Patrick, Lopag and Joe walsh to play that game plus others from the first team squad.

Seriously, do you think it may be down to the refs clamping down on you since your tactics were highlighted recently?

We handed Bradford their arses las week at Odsal and seem to have found our mojo again(although probably down to Briers returning) it isn't a huge disaster getting beat by us and Leeds, look at your progression as a club and a team in the past 12 months.

Couldn't agree more m8ty. There's still a lot of the season left.
