Haha, when I started the thread, and last season, it was pretty much me reviewing games to myself.
Well I promise to debate with you then. Its a bit pointless though considering we are both Rhinos fans, maybe I'll switch my team to St Helens for a more rivalry based discussion.......................Not a chance
We missed Ryan Hall on the wing. A lot of our mistakes came from there, and specifically Scott Donald, which is surprising. Watkins played great on the opposite Wing, and it wouldn't be a bad decision by Bluey to have Watkins/Hall on the wing at Quins.
We really did, however I thought Watkins was awesome, I had to laugh my mate before the game said he hasnt been playing well recenty and should stay in the reserves, I happily made him eat his words. Scott Donald did make a few mistakes but made up a shit load of ground when Hodgeson broke though from their own goal line. I would agree Watkins deserves his chance.
That's true. There wasn't a huge difference of skill in the first half, but Hudds managed to get 2 tries from it. (Well, one 2 minutes after half time, but you know what I mean).
And they deserved their 2 tries. Leeds could have perhaps defended better for the first but they played well enough to get 2 tries.
The skill wasn't great, but it was the type of game I love. You get incredibly into it.
Yes it was incredibly flustrating, we only seemed to drop the ball in their end zone though. The knocking on is getting annoying though, theres no excuse to drop the ball especially in such dry conditions. I can understand if its raining that there would be some drops but our mistakes are costing us badly.
In the first half it was them that took them. They had a really good defence. Keeping Leeds try-less in the first half is rarely achieved.
But what I'm trying to say it wasn't there defence that kept us try-less it was our mistakes we should have at least been level at half time.
I disagree, I'll give them credit, I wouldn't have been surprised if they'd won the game. We really stepped up in the last 15 minutes, but until then it was anyones game.
So your saying untill the last 15 it was anybodys game even when we were 12-0 down??? just shows how dominant we were. We completely outplayed them in the second half and they only threatened through our mistakes which was the Hodgeson break I spoke about earlier. Huddersfield didn't deserve anything from the game and were lucky to get out of Headingly without a destructive scoreline.
I don't even class that Bradford game as a loss, the video referee disallowed 2 tries which were tries. But anyway, yeah we have to step up. Bradford aren't great at the moment, but always bring their A-game to Leeds.
Maybe, but it still counts as a loss, even if we were screwed. Bradford will be tough to beat but if we stop the stupid mistakes and actually do the thing that the players are paid to do (catch the ball) then it shouldnt be out of the question to get a decent victory.
Oh and how bad were the tackles from Hudds. From where we were stood in the south stand there must have been about 4 tackles which were stupidly high, plus the ref only gave one of them. When he did give it he waited untill the player hit the ground before deciding if it was high. Surely he could see. That ref annoyed me slightly
. With scummy Wire, but still. I am really surprised he went to be their coach after leaving Leeds, why would you go to such a horrible team? We'll probably beat them tomorrow, we should anyway, let's hope St Helens lose to Wigan tonight.
