| 20 all was when we lost the game.
Leeds were all over the place and we were well on top. Coaching staff decide on the shot at goal, deacon fails to get the ball dead and ryan hall makes a big return that gets them fired up again leading to a penalty and a soft try.
Personally thought the decision to take the 2 point option was wrong given how far out it was. 20 yards further in and it's a no brainer but Deacon in the past has failed to make touch from kicks in that area.
Can't have too many complaints tonight cause we simply aren't as good as Leeds. Given all the effort we showed it's a real shame to come away with sweet fa.

| Really pleased with that performance. We dominated the back to back champions for large periods of the game and didn't make too many errors. Not too many complaints about ref either, just that he missed a fair few head highs from Leeds. Tbh the scoreline didn't reflect the game as I feel we did do a lot right and played better than Leeds for the majority of the game. If I were Leeds I'd be a little worried that the back to back championship winning side was dominated for large parts by a team in 12th. I can now see why Leeds are near the bottom of the fairplay index though.
Tadulala's try has to be congratulated though, it was brilliant.

It was another game though that we lost when we could have won. That's the worrying thing. It's definitely not a team you'd expect in 12th. No sky made Sheriffe's no try a big call.

I just can't help thinking that we are missing a certain something; we can dominate teams and keep possesion and then force the errors but we can't seem to find the tryline often enough.

It was clear from 120 yards away that it wasn't a try.

Do you know what I really think the problem is. A lack of confidence. After all the pressure that's been on this year it's hardly surprising but with Saints and Leeds finished with for this year it's now time to go for it. I think that the performances have actually improved over the past two games despite the two defeats and if the performances are there the points come with it.
We'll be alright just watch.

| Gutted in all honesty. It was there for the taking. I thought the 2 points was a fair call, get it or not, we should, should get the ball back, but bl00dy typically of our luck, its not dead and bang. Still had chances to level it or nick it. A nice big call of forward from the South Stand to give Bentham no choice then a few risky moves to force it and it all over.
Still, its the story of our season really, the better side for lots of the game and coming away with nothing.
Is it a coincidence that the two top sides in the comp look to be two of the "dirtiest" I wonder? High shots galore again and nothing done. I wonder if the Bulls need a big more mongrel, its obviously working.
Good game though. Well played all.

| A very entertaining contest with both sides enjoying dominant spells. I thought we did very well to get our noses in front but like the penalty in the 1st minute.. I felt we should have ran with it. Our defence is still leaky and against teams like Saints and Leeds I feel we should be attacking their line as much as possible. Ok we came away with 2 points with the first penalty but we're then back deep in our own half. The Deacon miss and then failing to get it dead was a big blunder and that was obviously the turning point.
I think we can learn a bit from Leeds, their pressure building was better than ours and forced us to drop out on numerous occasions. When you're riding high, then the bounce of the ball often goes in your favour. I felt tonight that the bounce was nearly always in the Rhino's favour.
But we once again showed that when we cut out the silly errors we aren't a bad side and can play some decent Rugby. We now need to take these enthusiasm and effort levels into our remaining games. We have plenty of winnable games in there if we can continue with this level of performance.
