We handed a poor leeds team the points on a silver platter tonight , with our inept almost comical performance. We had absolutely no pressure on the leeds line to call without yet another ball handling calamity putting paid to another foray . Our second faze is not existent almost to a point that they look like a team who’s been put out together an hr before kick off and no one has a clue what the other is doing . Gaskell was a huge mistake , lynne looks like he’d rather be anywhere but on the field , Linehan runs like he’s 3 week post op on a hip replacement, although to be fair he did run it in plenty of times ,kelepi could not keep hold of the ball .Penalties after penalties kept leeds firmly in the driving seat and the rare times we managed to get a look at their line we usually came up with an unforced error and that was the pattern all night ,leeds were there for the taking ,unfortunately we didn’t read the script, and Leeds capitalised ..
Good bits ( yes there are a few) Lino put himself about tonight , but with few willing runners and most not on the same page it was always going to be an uphill struggle . We put a decent shift in on the tackling front for large parts of the game ,but inevitably we gave penalties away gifting leeds field position for that horrible little Grub to slide in unopposed twice . Leaving max out tonight was a massive mistake by Poching IMO , he seems about the only player who can chime into the attacking line on a regular basis and so we desperately missed that part of our attack structure .Overall for me too many mistakes by too many players gifted leeds the game ,I’d hate to think what our completion rate was , it can’t have been above 50% .
