Leeds bombed it. Not playing Vuniyayawa when the pack was exhausted is absolutely inexcusable. Dealing with awful refs is to be expected nowadays for all SL teams.



We have a lot to be excited about still. I think if we can retain Holroyd and Martin, bring in Austin and a top winger similar to Scott Donald alongside Handley then we would be genuine contenders next season.



1. Myler

2. Scott Donald type winger 3. Newman 4. Broadbent 5. Handley

6. Austin 7. Sezer

8. Oledzki 9. Leeming 10. Prior

11. Bentley 12. Martin

13. Tetevano



14. Dwyer

15. Smith

16. Holroyd

17. Mellor

Their last Try was a DH run at a gassed & injured Tetevano & Dwyer we had an unused Prop on the bench & a lad used to playing 9 carrying the kicking tee & water.

Agar cost us as much as any plater his selection & squad rotation were shocking lsst night.

Yeh got to agree with most of this.

The team made mistakes in the last few minutes.

But Tetevano was clearly gassed - he’s coming off a 6 week lay off with COVID, no wonder!

Poor decision to play him so long when we have King on the bench.

And in hindsight, a poor decision to play Briscoe at dummy half. O’Connor was the obvious choice.

Dwyer was also gassed after playing for so long, so it was a big risk.

But Agar has credit for me, especially with Kev leaving.

I think he’ll be disappointed with some of his decisions this morning though….

People are forgetting the first half. We gifted them two tries straight after we’d scored through dropped balls from the kick offs and lazy D from Prior. That was nothing to do with Agars use of subs. Warrington had no ball in the first half yet scored 2 try’s

The 2 aren't mutually exclusive all the factors mentioned contributed to defeat including agars decisions.

I do agree Seth re Agars subs, it certainly didn’t help but for me the weight of the blame is on the players. We were the best side imo and should have won comfortably

Looked like a panicking side last night at times. If we had a 2015 sinfield we win. 6 points up with 5 mins left close the game out. Basic set then kick into touch. Level with 2 to go and in position to attempt a drop goal and we run it to the edge. OK that failed, kick into the corner and trap them. Play the long game. Don't go for a 1 in a hundred drop goal attempt that gifts then position.



Enough has been said about the controversial try, but wire scored 21 other points aswel.



Overall though a positive performance. Maybe our best hope is hull kr don't play enough games to qualify.



Looking forward to Cas now

Lol careful you're not far off a Daryl Powell impression with that comment.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but expect Gale to be banned for the Cas game if similar incidents are anything to go by this season. Charnley held up in the first half, Williams shoves Gale and Gale comes back to shove Williams but Kendall is in between them. Gale had both hands on Kendall, and noticably nudged him as he reached round to tap Williams. Whats worse is he laughed in a joking manor with Williams as he did it. But. We all know, you should never touch the ref.

Shame we can’t have an adult conversation. Oh well..

Did no one else notice the shoulder to the head of james donaldson in the first 5-10mins (I think... earlyish anyway) of the game? By Cooper, who scored not too long after.



All part of the inconsistency in the game/season. Seemed a far better case for yellow card than anything else that game, and I'm not even sure it was given as a penalty (may be wrong - it was a while ago now).



Either way, Dwyer great - Newman's inability to pass is being glossed over because he's a specimen - seemed odd not to bring King on - but very hopeful for what this team can do this year never mind next year, although we need a 2nd proper half back!

Does anyone else thing Agar was using some of Brian McD's big picture thinking re: subs etc? Artificially creating short term adversity with subs/intentional fatigue in order to get long term benefits at the business end of the season?



I often felt like BMcD was doing that when he was with us: playing chess while everyone else was playing draughts.



Not seen it from Agar until yesterday (apart from one warm up game), but maybe.....

Agar has talked before about observing players under fatigue,



I think he’s just overworked players again in an attempt to make something out of this season. Agar didn’t make the fixture list or invent COVID though.

Agar threw all his eggs in to one basket to get a win and it didn’t pay off, I think circumstances have seen key players demonstrate what they’re like under fatigue enough as it is.
