Leeds were putting our players on their backs when tackled thereby slowing our play the ball, we as a team don’t do this to opposing teams.

I'm sorry but that 10 minute stint in the first half where we kicked the ball out on the full twice simply isn't good enough for super league. As bad as child's was (and he was awful), you don't win games presenting the ball from the half way line. Thought we were awful defensively today thro the middle, so many missed tackles. Ah well top was good while it lasted on to next week.
I think we put together some good sets and, though we made some pretty bad errors, there were some good defensive moves. I've seen worse.
And yes, Childs did the full Lindop yesterday. Very poor, particularly when they knocked on and he signalled a restart of the tackle count - it looked to me that he was still watching us for 10 metre violations when it happened.
But kicking the ball high at the last tackle wasn't working, and I'd have expected more kicking for touch (maybe there was a worry about going out on the full) or even grubbers. And as we were expecting high kicks on Leeds's last tackle, we were caught out more than once by them holding onto the ball, passing to the wings and then kicking low. I hope we learn from it.

Ian Watson said we got what we deserved.

True but you could've chosen worse than Mr Panapa. |

Pretty much what everyone else says.
Leeds were faster at the ptb, faster off the line and also offloading way better than we did (mind our shocking tackling didn't help)
Childs was **** but thats no excuse, we need to be better.
My main gripe was our descision to take 2 when we were 20-12 down. We were 10 metres or so off the line and didn't turn the screw when we had momentum. yes we might not have got a try but we stand a far greater chance of getting one than taking the two and getting the ball back down the other end of the field. It absolutely handed the confidence back to Leeds, how freely would they have played if it had been 20-18 rather than 20-14 as it ended up at that point, i'm reckoning they might have been a bit more conservative. Just seems like a poor descision handing the mental confidence back to them.
Onwards though, We got beat by leeds, well.. ****. But then i dont expect the results from these games, its a bonus if we get anything. If we can smash everything around us then I'll be happy.
