Some people like marmite.

Nobody is disputing the fact that there should be competition for places. However, 18 pages of fans opinions is not going to make one jot of difference to PG's thinking, however important posters think their views are.

Completely agree.

Briscoe picked up a couple of knocks and should have been replaced by rights.



But with Green and O'Meley unable to return we didn't have options.



Yeaman was trying to limit Briscoe being exposed and i think this was the reason Leeds made the break between him and Ellis for their try. Yeaman makes a dash to his left but when realising the pass wasn't made he tried to step back to his right and slipped missing the tackle in the process.

I posted a similar sentiment on page 4, but i suppose if Yeamo had stepped inside and died with the ball then people would be happier ...not me i would rather see an attempt to promote some positive and exciting play.



I've been a critic for years of him not putting his winger away. This time he tried to keep the move going once he knew he was not going to make it on his own, it didn't work, but this is how i want to see us playing, with some flair and confidence.



Do we want 80% performances and leeping it safe, or do we want them team to push themselves, try things and create some memories.



With the first you get the Agar era, with the second you get some errors but you also get some amazing tries

He didn't have to try and make it on his own.



He had broke through and the simple thing to do would be to draw the full back and put one of the supporting players on the inside over for a try.



Nothing to do with playing with flair and confidence. That he showed when making the break.

No, but there is a 'catch the ball around your ankles whilst on the move' one.



Not that I'm personally going to criticise Pitts for it, but it was an error, and one that we do have a practice drill for, so it was a valid point.

This. It's a been a weakness in his game throughout his career, but I've always thought it's more about the incorrect reading of the situation rather than making the wrong choice (either intentionally or not).

Think this is more appropriate in here.

Does the drill include the ball getting to you on the bounce?



I wouldn't have expected anyone to pick that up TBH. It would have been a miracle take. What I would say is that Pitts would have been better off hacking it forward rather than trying to pick it up.

....and there we all were thinking that the coaching staff logged onto here every morning and changed their regime accordingly.



Thanks (!) for clearing that up for us Hessle Roader! I was wondering where my pay cheque was!

As you say, it was a pretty much an impossible take from a lob, rather than a pass. Those saying Pitts should have taken it are just been plain daft imo.

The ball was just below Pitts' knee, same position as Westerman's and Pitts had far more time to react. I'm disappointed that Pitts didn't still convert the chance, as Pitts is, I'm sure.

You really need to look again, a professional player should take that more often than not, as Westy proved.
