Leeds Rhinos hooker Jarrod O'Connor reflects on the loss to Hull KR and looks ahead to Saturday's Magic Weekend meeting with St Helens.
Transcript
00:00What's your interesting reaction to that, Jarrod Everson, a huge effort, so close, but in the end just far agonising the shot?
00:07Yeah, I think they're all really good. I think there have been a few games like they were against the top teams and we've just lost it.
00:16I guess it's encouraging that we're in there and we probably should be winning them games and even tonight.
00:22I think we were the better team and against Warrington I think it was.
00:25It's just making sure when we start to finish off the game, I guess it's a good way to get it done next week.
00:32Yeah, Jarrod Arthur is super-telling in the press conference, you're getting in a position to win every game,
00:36it's just the next step is learning how to do that and being able to do that.
00:40Yeah, it's probably just a bit of execution and you're just learning how to finish the games off a bit better.
00:48I think we had plenty of times where we could have won it and even when we scored,
00:54I thought we still should have won it apart from that last time. It's just a bit gutting.
00:59What do you say to Ash in the changing room? I mean from everyone else about him just thought the 5th red cards were harsh,
01:05presumably no one's blaming him.
01:08Ash is obviously ultra-consistent and very reliable and like you say, there's rules in the stage.
01:20Any head contact could end up being a card and I think lads sort of know that.
01:26Yeah, you've got to get a little bit better with that but I guess yeah, I don't think Ash could have done anything.
01:31I think the split second he had to react was impossible for him to drop it out so no one can't play him Ash at all.
01:38Yeah, I thought he played really well as well today coming out of Manfield as well so yeah, possibly not as well.
01:44And on to a huge game at Magic Reef and now we're going to say otherwise if you play like that you're going to have a lot more games than you lose haven't you?
01:50Yeah, that's what we keep saying to each other. Staying positive, obviously all sticking together I think.
01:58The performance being put in are encouraging like I said and you just need to take it to that next step too.
02:06Yeah, obviously I think coming up against the most strong team next week is best for us and we can't wait.
