Oh dear. It's 5 in 8 as it happens but the sentiment is still the same, you're a terrible loser.

Must admit I watched it back this morning and started to question that decision!

Watching from the upper tier behind the sticks really showed a stark contrast between the ball movement and speed of both teams. Leeds were one dimensional and slow for the biggest part, more concerned about ball retention while Warringtons moves were slick and direct especially near our line. It really summed up two things for me, you simply cannot concede 30 points against the top teams and expect to win a game. We've shipped points against all the big boys and have conceded between 30 and 50 against the all top 4 teams this season, our defence hasn't been good enough. Secondly, the loss of Mcguire really was as decisive as we all thought it would be. It showed in the first 15 minutes when Peacock broke the line a couple of times and ended up going down with nobody on his shoulder for the pass.......oh for Danny ! Our attack near their line was ponderous and predictable until it was too late. The game plan was to play it safe and let them make the mistakes, it sort of half worked for 50 minutes but needed changing when the momentum swung. Getting Mcguire fit is imperative for our playoff hopes.

kylie, griffin and bailey to go. a real hard nosed prop and young singleton to come in.
the second row of JJB,ablett and delaney are all much of a muchness. all good footballers but no mongrel in there. we need a hock or a westwood in there. a young anthony farrell if we can find one.
our pack is dominated most weeks. we have good backs and halves but they are always on the back foot.

As much as I love the banter around Bailey, he was awful yesterday

Bring back Amor?

my mates a coach at wakey and he raves about him. he thinks he could really be a top class player.
i had forgotten about him tbh.

As bad as Bailey was yesterday, he would look a million times better playing alongside a metre making prop. Unfortunately that has never been a strength of his.

Delaney and JJB were huge disappoinments for me. Delaney as he's been one of our strongest runners all year and I just didn't really notice him, and JJB because for all the effort, desire and commitment it saddens me to say their doesn't seem to be a great deal left in the tank. I truly hope I am wrong.

The balls in his court.

unless he's been told he's not wanted

Beaten by a far superior side on the day - the team gave it everything they had and as fans that is all we can ask.

McGuire was missed and Burrow would not have played had this been a regular season match. Having said that even if Danny had played and Burrow was fitter they would have struggled behind a pack that were dominated from the start.

The club needs to revisit the forwards for next year - the thought of Kylie/Peacock/Griffin trotting out again does not inspire me with confidence. As for the second row what would the club give to find another Ali!! JJB looks shot, Delanney is slow and playing Bailey at 13 simply doesn't work.

As for the coach - not sure, I would looking at how the season finishes and then make a decision - If he stays he needs a strong assistant to replace Lowes, someone with some new ideas.

Finally it helps if you spend to the cap - a club with the revenue streams Leeds have should be spending to the cap.
