Dire with an interesting marketing gimmick
This is the most inept and one-sided refereeing display I've seen in a while. Leeds standing about 3 yards in front of hom every tackle.
Should be about 40 up on these. They really are awful.
Another joke decision by Thaler in the lead-up to that Leeds try. Leeds player drops it after our guy grabs his arm, we pounce on the loose ball, Thaler totally unsighted but gives a knock on against us.
An absolute joke.
Taia gets a swinging arm to the nose. No problem, scrum to Leeds.
Thaler is bent as they come.
We have not earned the right to the throw the ball around. We must be more patient

Thaler was definitely sympathy reffing from the 3rd minute, he was their best player by a mile. Their “try” in the second half was clearly held up, but that won’t stop the wider public claiming reffing is the only reason we’re so far ahead.
Bit of an odd game, we seemed to put the cue on the rack as soon as Percival went off, because we were trying a few things out down the left edge up until that point. Have to be a different performance next week, but I have every confidence it will be.
In other news, we are now mathematically safe and cannot finish lower than 10th
Not been that wound up during a game in a while. Thaler was a disgrace. Leeds resorted to dirtying it up. Their fans are arseholes.
But we were the masters of our own downfall. Forcing passes, taking completely the wrong option, offloading when it wasn't on.
Thought Lomax was poor. Maybe he was trying too hard, but he repeatedly made the wrong decision.
Most of the team did *ok* without being great.
We keep losing our way in the middle matches. Same again tonight. We Need to sort it out before the big games come around

Agreed Lomax didn’t seem to have his head on from the first minute.
At one point I am sure I heard Thaler say I am doing my best for you here lads but you keep cocking it up.
What happened to Percival I never saw him go off.
Incidentally, that kid Newman is a right gobby little turd. After Briscoe took a high shot off Peyroux (tbf, Thaler missed that one as well), Newman was giving it big verbals to Saints players and in the handbags straight after tried to pile in.
I was hoping one of our lads would [legally] spark him out.
There’s a common theme developing - score a couple of early tries then overplay like mad for the rest of the game. Need to get that sorted for the big games.
poor performance part from first 10 and last 10.Too many players trying silly offloads rather than playing the full set ( I suspect our completion rate was low).
Can't understand why Gold Coast have signed Watkins. He is a shadow of his former self
Yes I think that sums it up. Very sloppy at times.
Given how we played, to win by 26 points shows how bad that Leeds team is. We looked like we could score at will but looked like dropping the ball every set. Some below par performances and for me Amor, Ashworth and Lees needs to start contributing more, they’ve all had poor seasons so far. Solid enough win, nevertheless.
