There were signs that Croft, Connor and Miller will form a decent combination. 
McDonnell, Mik and Palasia were good.


Lisone needs to stop thinking he’s Crooks or Cuthbertson during his 15 minute spell and just revert back to his usual 2 drives. Won’t be sad if he’s not at Leeds next year. 

Saints had an extra half second in every tackle by holding down/flop.
That's not moaning at the ref. That's either earned from impact or by application. Either way it made a big difference. Honestly still think our issues are in defence rather than attack. 

I've calmed down a bit and rewatched the game after getting home.


That game was there to be won, I'm putting that loss down to Lisone, that pass when we were really getting on top of saints with territory was just a really dumb play.


Id like Connor to stay at 7 bar that ridiculous pass near the end I thought he went well and can see a decent link up with Miller.


I think I was harsh on the attack, rethinking it we haven't had the same spine in any of the games this year, that's really hard for a team to fire.

We were the better team in the first half, and were unlucky to be losing at half time. The starting midddles were impressive against the saints pack, Jenkins the standout but Oledski looks so much better with some decent forwards around him.




Our defence much improved on last season, apart from the 10 mins where we switched off and lost the game.  saints struggled to get out of their own half in the first half. 


Attack still needs work, not many ideas but hopefully a settled spine will improve that.

With the poor performing season of Akers and Frawley hopefully we see Connor and Croft at Half back now. With Miller back our attack will improve. Lots of good things to like about defence now we can build on this. We also have a decent squad now that’s interchangeable it’s early days to take the cue off rack for this season. Frawley to hooker would be my way to go but don’t let him get his hands on ball to kick on last tackle he’s dreadful. Frawley and Lisone a million to be here next season  imo Neither good enough
