Driving over on Friday. Any tips on where to park gratefully received. 

We may not have scored, but we were denied the opportunity to by a referee who either didn't know, or did know but chose not to apply, the rules. This is not something that should be swept under the carpet. 

I think the optimism comes from the fact that our forwards have competed with 3 of the best sides in the comp and have matched them. Yes we still have work to do in attack but that seemed to be coming together a bit last night. 
Wire were missing their entire three quarter line which has to be taken into account but we lost our star winger without him playing a game and lost Croft mid game when we were 8 points in front.
For the 1st time in a long while the green shoots are appearing. Keep the faith. 

The referee did make a mistake but Leeds played some dumb rugby in the final quarter. That’s two points that have slipped through your fingers. Good to see that your team is improving though.

We are improving, and as I say it's heartening to see what we do in training manifest itself come game day. 

On the refereeing, it's an important point, much wider than one game. This isn't disagreeing with his interpretation of a rule,; it's a clear case of him either not knowing the rule or choosing to disregard it. He'd sent Palasia to the bin only some 6 or 7 minutes earlier. As they are so very keen to tell the players, there is no mitigation for his decision. That there were 10 seconds left is irrelevant. Do referees have a difficult job? Of course they do, but they really lay themselves wide open to justified criticism with fundamental issues like this. The powers that be need to get a grip, and quickly. 

Some of the negativity is crazy.
Yeh we make some mistakes and look clunky in attack at times.
But just remember what we've been watching for the last 2 seasons (and more....).


I'm loving watching this pack compete with the best there is.
I'm actually looking forward to, rather than dreading, playing the top teams.
We're undoubtedly top 6 contenders.


And we have a proper coach, who knows the game and knows how to coach and prepare a team.
I would suggest we all enjoy it while he's here, cos it might not be for long.
