That was there for the taking and we fluffed our lines. Created enough chances to win two games but didn’t take them and then poor discipline and shocking defence cost us dear. There was positives but we’ve let that one slip.

A decent coach and we'd have won that. Great effort from Johnstone, Lino looked well too. Miller continuing with the hospital passes and Fifita didn't make his usual impact in the game.

I am sorry but I thought we were tremendous today and but for a stronger referee we could have won. We have no restarts to Leeds 4 and the pass was not forward despite what McDermot thought. I cannot fault any of the players today and the defence improved throughout the game.

Tremendous we lost a 16 4 lead ref was poor but we never created a try in 2nd half we certainly wasnt Tremendous

Good opening game that, could have gone either way. How Johnstone isn’t in a Leeds shirt is beyond me, maybe the same as Jason Robinson never was!

Should have killed us down the right edge as looked like it was going to happen in that 15 minute spell when you blew us away. Young Broadbent and Myler the pick for us, and Tetevano gave us the steel in the middle we’ve been missing. Miller good for you lot, and Tanginoa a handful as usual. I think you missed Wood at 9, good runner out of dummy half. All in all a decent game, and as easy as it is to blame the referee after a loss, he was good and didn’t get much wrong.

Miller outplayed lino easily today, I thought he did nothing, didn’t run with ball kicked. Poor out of hand so we will see in a few week

Thought with exception of johnstone miller was our best attacking player - agree he put a few hospital passes in but great effort - Lino looks like he could be good.

Difference between the sides was Brad Dwyer and the ref !

I agree and he looked done with 20 left

What the hell was bill doing 3 on 1 ffs draw draw the man pass under the posts missed chances again

Re: Leeds match thread : Sat Mar 27, 2021 5:14 pm  

Lot of positive, for me .We have started playing rugby ,We made plenty of chances even though we did not have a lot of the ball second half. Though ref did ok but Bill been penalised for not playing ball was a big call and Leeds did get the 50\50 calls .Still say we need a attacking 9 and was not impressed by the 9s in attack .Dwyer shows what we are missing .Overall work to do, but look a lot more up for it

Re: Leeds match thread : Sat Mar 27, 2021 5:17 pm  

Trinity were OK today and have something to build on....Thought we lacked a bit of punch up front and struggled to get out of own half and understand finances are tight but hope there's an addition at prop in the near future....Our kicking on last tackle was poor and contributed to poor field positions.

Love to better understand the re start rules as thought Rhinos guilty of slowing the PTB almost as much as Trinity but weren't penalised once. Tough penalty on Tupou at PTB should have been play on!

Pass at the end to Senior was not forward...

Hopefully Battye, Kyle Wood, Hampshire and Jowitt will be fit for the next match and no injuries to today's players....

Up the Trin..
