What makes me really laugh is how can one player be blamed for what happened last night. You people are unreal. There was 17 men on that park last night and yet 1 man is blamed.It's always going to be the same. If we had won this conversation wouldn't be taking place. It's ridiculous. Blame who you like i'm past caring but i refuse to let Danny Orr take the entire blame for what is a team game.
I've not seen anyone blame one player. To be honest, you've gone straight onto the defensive to defend Orr from more of the flack he's had here recently. He deserves some more, to be honest. His kicking was generally woeful last night, how many times were kicks straight at the defenders? But that applies also to Moran, who was also rubbish almost all night and clearly shouldn't have played.

Rads is one of the few to escape much blame, Leeds weren't able to put us under any real pressure through kicks because of his usual immaculate positioning, which actually makes the overall scoreline worse because that means most of the scores against us came on the run.

Inexperience in defense was very noticable, towards the end Leeds were changing direction quickly and our lot were standing around looking at the ball wondering what to do next.

But our biggest problem was retaining possession. Do Sky provide any stats anymore about completion rates and the likes? We struggled to complete many sets of 6, turning the ball over very cheaply. That's not bad tactics, that's ineptitude by the players involved. That's basics, and we were not in the game last night.
