Unfortunately Houghton looks like the player he was in the last season under Radford but without his defensive resilience. BH needs to wake up to the fact he can’t play him first 80 mins. Sneyd other than his 40/20 was pretty poor along with Reynolds who all created very little on the back of a platform provided by the likes of Sao and Satae. 6, 7 & 9 gave us very little tonight and that’s a real concern.

Fonua been pretty rubbish too, apart from maybe 2/3 games.



Too many players playing on past reputations.



Him, Houghton, Sneyd and Bowden.

Total lack of cutting edge tonight. Had enough possession on their line and made enough line breaks tp put us in a strong position in the first half.

Second half was all Leeds and we ran out of gas.

Great game and atmosphere for 60 mins and then it petered out which was a shame.

Monday could get ugly against a fresh Saints.

I thought Reynolds did ok tonight, caused a few problems with his running game, on his own though, Wynne looks like Shaul, good running game, but doesn't have the link up play like other FB'S.

If you depend so much on one player the future is not too rosy

I think you forget Dave according to some on here he is a great organizer

Very disappointing. Agree with others that Sneyd was poor and starting to think it's time to move him on, can't carry someone just for their kicking game.



I'm convinced we must have signed a Fonua lookalike as that isn't the same guy from 2016/2017.



Short of at least two Props. Bowden does nothing at all.



Oh it's good to be back!

Agree we are still short a prop, but just can't see how Bowden still gets in over Brown. He deserves a run of games to see how he goes. Hopefully Taylor will be back soon too.



Having said that, even with Bowdensimkted impact, props were far from our biggest concern tonight. I'm also starting to think Sneyd's time with us should be up.

I’ll give Reynolds the benefit of just returning after covid but tonight we got very little if anything from 6,7, & 9 which with the space and platform created for them by Sao & Satae is concerning. Agree about Wynn as he has a lot more work to do on his game particularly link up play. Fonua was also pretty poor tonight and should be getting more from a player who is likely on a fair chunk of the cap.

If we put as much effort into our defence as we do in altercations with opposing players that would be a good start

As has been mentioned we cant rely on one link player when fit.

for me Sneyd is a big problem and slows our attack down and Houghton seems to have lost interest again and needs to be replaced.

Shaul is the obvious choice here when fit because tonight we saw exaclty how a quick acting half turned the game for Leeds

We still need some pace into this team and questions need to be asked about the coaches bench selection once again

No Connor no attack.



We rolled Leeds down the pitch fairly easy tonight, had loads of good ball and did nothing with it.



Put Dwyer in our team and he'd make a world of difference.



Bowden and Houghton are done. BH doesn't seem all that confident in JJ either.



Hooker and a forward are on the wish list.

As much as we miss Connor I think we probably miss Griffin as much. Big strike player for us and very consistent. In no way an excuse, just an observation.
