A good dictating half back would have had this game won by now.

A penalty on the hooter not given. Why? Dunno, Ben Thaler needs a pee, maybe.
Pretty poor half. The pack are getting a bit of a pasting from Leeds and are being bossed out there. Our errors have been pretty woeful and we’ve gave Leeds a lot of ball and repeat sets.

Paasi looking good. Real run busting threat
Coote can tell hes fresh hoping for better 2nd half
Poor kicking game
Paasi looks great but that’s the only positive from that dismal display. Awful performance with the ball, yet again. Thaler not giving a clear try and Bentley deciding to not run to the line not helping either.
Not sure who is the worse, Saints or Thaler. We looked like we have never played together and Thaler allowing Lying on every tackle, though He did start calling 6 again last 15 mins. Terrible decision about Roby's try and we were unlucky that the tackle on Fages wasn't given as late. Mata’utia out for next week.
All things considered, to be two up at half time isn’t so bad after that.
I think this is one of those games where scoring very early hasn’t helped us. We seemed to relax and got a shock when Leeds started giving it to us physically.
We have an opportunity now to wipe the slate clean and start again. If we keep it simple and direct for 15-20 mins we should be able to cut loose. Make a similar number of errors and we’ll be up the proverbial creek.
Course they would. There’s no better fullback at present than rat boy. The same for Lomax in the halves. Williams is the only other option. You’re upset he’s saying peoples names who are the first on the teamsheet. It would be like Gareth Southgate saying Harry Kane will start for England in the summer, it’s not a big deal.

Let’s be honest, this has been a garbage half of RL from us. We’ve thrown it wide right three times and had joy, scoring with the first and making poor decisions with the other two, but clear to see we can have joy there. But we steer clear of it and rely on a one dimensional game plan which is quite easy to read too often.
Upset? I’m not even bothered, just surprised that he’s given it away when there’s six months between now and then. Much more clever to not give stuff away and encourage players to raise their game thinking they can get a jumper in October than just tell them he’s already made his mind up. We had a thread on here about who he would pick, I said Tomkins would be the 1 and loads disagreed.
What a shift Paasi’s put in here.
Paasi’s changed the game since coming on, probably the only player to turn up.
