Re: RD 9 | Leeds Rhinos (H) : Sun Aug 16, 2020 8:12 pm  
I don't think, on first viewing, that Hicks was *that* bad. The Manfredi tackle-in-the air is always going to be judgement call which could go either way, like loose carries. For the ridiculous Whinos try, he was relying on a call from the touchie. If the touchie does nothing, he is never going to disallow it. Really bad official error. Mind you, I don't think French was onside for that last try. In fact, I'd say, the NRL Bunker would never have given that in a million years. On the Gale card, it did strike me that yapping to the referee like he does all game long, every game, this one not least, is not going to get you on the ref's side when he's weighing up whether to get the card out of his pocket.

But, at the end of the day, we beat Leeds! :D

And were comfortably the better side. But 'better than Leeds' may not be saying that much.

I thought Bullock carried the ball well for the time he was on, we need another 15mins a game out of him at that level.



Best game I’ve seen from Bullock in a while, usually a decent carrier of the ball but has a knock on or 2 in him. I may be wrong but don’t think he made any errors tonight ? His carries were very strong and he put himself about in defence. Competition for places over the next few weeks will hopefully bring out the best in our pack.

Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.

Improved performance and were very patient in order to get the win.

Defence structure and shape I felt was excellent although a bit of shirt gra bing resulting in a few unnecessary misses.

Harvard was great again but he needs to focus a bit more on his play the ball. Very slow from dominant positions and lazy to not get his foot on the ball.

Thought Hardaker was hood going forward had a difficult task in defence but generally handled Hurrell very well.

The no try that was given turned the momentum of the game we looked comfortable and dominant before that but it got Leeds confidence up and their lack dominated us for a while after that. Ridiculous error from the officials.

Bullock and Clarke strong but need more minutes from them.

Smith not his best game and will be glad to get Tommy back to take the pressure off him for a bit.

Pleasantly surprised by Greenwood who looked a handful and interested for a change.

French electric and wingers made good yards from strong carries.

Hastings though for me put on a master class today. Just controlled the game got in at the PTB at the right time with some great scoots, took on the line at the right time and passed at the right time. The kick for French’s second was inch perfect.

Still too many errors but an improvement on last week and hopefully more bodies back for Catalans which will be a massive test in a couple of weeks time.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

Can't disagree with much of that but will add, Powell and Isa were excellent, two players who for some reason don't seem appreciated by some Wigan fans. Oh and Liam Farrell is still the best 2nd row in superleague.

Farrell is one of the best players in superleague let alone the best second row. The most underrated player I’ve ever seen, it’s borderline criminal.

Seen a few mentions for Greenwood and I thought he did really well with the ball but as usual I’d like to see him bend his back more in defence. He waves his hands at people too often when defending but if he can work on that, you can see his attack added plenty to us.

Farrell was immense, we managed well consider at one point we had Smithies and Farrell at prop with Joe Sharrocks at loose.

Think Mitch Clark is struggling to be honest and I’d look a replacing him for the Catalans game.

Bibby getting better each game.

Happy to win but looking forward to getting some players back and seeing a better performance.

We were lucky Leeds are so poor.

Liked the look of Shorrocks as well. Came on and did his bit. Had a few hard drives. If we can keep hold of a few of these young forwards it’s going to be really hard for teams to dominate us up the middle

I think Shorrocks could be very useful if given the right opportunities. He was brilliant in the pre season game at Leigh IIRC and looks a real mixture of being skilful but really tough in and around the middle. We might have to be patient with these young forwards but if they develop as they should, we should have a fabulous pack in a couple of years.

I was pleased to see Shorrocks get some game time too. He wasn't perfect, but he didn't look out of place, and I hope he's one for the future. Havard just looks so comfortable on the ball. I haven't seen the Catalans game, but I was told last night they looked very impressive.

Havards stats again are immense.

38 tackles
0 misses
15 carries
129 metres

This kid is the real deal. You don’t want to over burden him so soon but eventually he looks capable of being that 60/70 minute prop we’ve craved for what feels like forever.

Let’s pray that contract is signed or will be signed soon.
