SL RD 5 | Castleford Tigers (A) : Fri Mar 10, 2023 10:09 pm  
Hopefully we can continue our winning ways at this game, a long way to go but we looked sharp in the second half v Wakefield. Hopefully Handley will be OK.

Myler; Fusitua Newman MacDonald Handley/Olpherts; Austin Sezer; Holroyd O’Connor Tetevano; Bentley Martin; Smith.

Johnson Lisone Sangare Gannon/McDonnell/Walters/Donaldson

Olpherts/Handley

Castleford copped a few injuries tonight with Sutcliffe going off with HIA and Westerman getting an injury which should mean they miss the game.

On the past two games of form we should really take it to them. Cas really were awful tonight. Looked completely disinterested. But I'm sure they'll turn up against us.

Cas look even worse than Wakey. They're horrendous. (Famous last words!)

There are some big upsets in the Cas camp at the minute. Personnel are leaving like rats on a sinking ship.

I'm not sure how I'm taking tonights Leeds game. I'll review the footage and first, but I wasn't overly impressed. We failed to look dangerous in the first half, Wakey got plenty of opportunity to put points past us, but also failed to finish.

We only appeared to take control on the second half after Wakey seccumbed to fatigue.

Maybe I missed a few things whilst trying to keep my eyeballs from freezing though.

Nilling any SL team is massive.‘defence on song which is pleasing. Fatigue comes from pressure.

Whilst I would normally agree, we are talking about a team with the worse attack in the league by a long shot and one who haven't found the tryline for three weeks now. And they looked more dangerous than us for a long period of the game. If that was any other team we would have gone into half time a couple of scores down and nothing to show for it.

Admittedly, we defended the line well. We held up players a couple of times and prevented what should have been a couple of tries without losing composure.

We did look weak in attack though. Up until Trinity fell apart and we started to put some good plays together. I know it was far from ideal conditions to play flowing rugby, and the players were suffering from the sub-zero temperature. And that goes for both teams.

I just can't help feeling somewhat uninspired by the Leeds performance. I know we would have likely lost the game to any team that actually knows how to score.

The performance did remind me a little of the circa 2011 (?) team how for most of the season would look terrible for the first half, but then pull a win out of the bag with a flurry of scores in the last 20 purely on fitness. Maybe it just looked similar under the circumstances with Trinity, but I hope we are returning to be the fittest team in the League again.

It was a poor first half, but teams get fatigued for a reason. Think the game plan revolves around moving the ball wider and earlier than the most teams and although mistakes are inevitably made it does tire the opposing middles. When we are bit more direct in the second half we start to find the gaps. One things for sure, that is a game we might well of lost in the Agar era.

Yes, this definitely appears to be the game plan - keep the ball moving to keep the opposition running. Leeds have already shown moments of brilliance by doing this in the past few weeks, and I can't wait to see it in full flow when summer improves the conditions and players have honed their ball handling.

I get a nagging feeling that our light weight forwards have forced this style of play though. I like to see a couple of old school wrecking-ball forwards that need several defenders to stop. Leeds have always been a bit lightweight for me, but the current team of forwards just look small compared to other packs, even with a couple of heavy additions such as Sangare and Lisone.
