Although we've won the Challenge cup, is has been a bad way to finish. The club needs to look long and hard at the season and at what can be done. Otherwise, I can see a similar thing happening next year. Other teams seem to have Leeds style of play and and how the playmakers work sussed now. Although it may sound strange, I think we need to look forward to the next few years and how we are going to manage without some major players who are nearing the end of their careers.

I don't think McDermott should go like others on here and feel he is the right person for the job as our coach. He admitted we weren't good enough tonight and was clearly very very disappointed.

All the players got back the 10 for me. They may have stepped out early but it was very very marginal. Would be hard for the vr to rule on it

In terms of blame I feel the following
Hall - made one bad mistake, and made one play which was incorrectly called forward
McGuire - gave away a needless penalty when leeds were far from their line, and the forwards were hitting hard in defense. Catalans looked beaten there, and though they could have pulled something out, the pen gave them a massive piggy back
Sinfield should have carried the ball, or left it to someone who could have, like Briscoe
Briscoe Web should have caught a simple pass. Big blunder, but not even close to Bai. Briscoe has looked poor the last few months, but was strong early in the season, mirrors the rest of the team really, not a big surprise really

Regarding the Hall dropped high bomb, even if it'd been called backwards, Hardaker goes for the loose ball and knocks on so still would've been Catalans ball in the end.

So thats Briscoe exHull, Boulevard Hull, and Cardiff Hull ?? happy memories

Briscoe is a liability I am no stat man but I would bet he has let past more points than he has scored this season
If you compare him to Hall or Ben Jones Bishop he would not even come third in that list.
I would say he is the most inept winger Leeds have had in the last ten years.
Look at Stevie Ward he had bad injuries and then lost confidence so he has been dropped out of sight but Briscoe has had one good game at KR at start of season then been a passenger ever since
Personally I would rather see his younger brother given a run next season than see him look disinterested all season
