To play so badly, drop so much ball yet only lose by 11?
Surely there's some positives in that?
We won't play that bad again & that defence will help when it comes to the big games at the business end.
We've been here before....and won when it mattered.
Cas are on course to do a Warrington....win the LLS then bottle it when it really matters

He is still fitter than Singleton it takes him 3 plays to get back in the line!!

At least someone enjoyed that performance...

Isn't it time you handed the laptop back to your carer and took your nighttime meds?

I don't want to over react, it's just one game, but that was a dire performance. Scrabbling for positives,I thought we defended well for significant periods. But we lacked ideas, ambition and a cutting edge in attack. It was hard to credit that we had had the easier preceding game and the extra couple of days to recover and prepare. Cas are the class team this season and deserve to pick up a trophy. My concern for the Rhinos is that with the cost of the ground development, the funding required to strengthen the squad may be hard to find. Mid table mediocrity beckons for a while I fear

Busy on here tonight, Leeds must've lost. The usual experts have been frustrated too often in not being able to tell us how the club should be run

Mystic Meg eat your heart out.

I don't know where you were sitting but you could do with a new pair of glasses. You obviously missed his 40 tackles in between tying his shoelaces. Leeds lost because of 20 handling errors none of them by JJB. We also made 39 missed tackles with Briscoe and Sutcliffe's woefull efforts resulting in two tries and 12 points.

What's funny nothing has changed has it?
We still lack quality recruitment we still have players way past their best or not good enough taking up SC space & despite his pre-match comments once again the Coach & his team fail against Cas & DP.

This is a poor side - defend it all you want - as the above poster said they missed nearly 40 tackles and dropped the ball 20 times. Perhaps you enjoy watching "elite athletes" fail to do the basics to me that is a disgrace.

JJB and McGuire are senior players - one gives away penalties at such regular intervals you wonder why he isn't being coached to suggest their is a better way and the other is swearing at the ref - what example does that give to the younger players?

The biggest attendance of the year and Leeds play as badly as they have all year. Without Cas gifting Leeds two tries they didn't look like scoring all night.

Cas were the best side on the night and played the conditions and the ref much better than Leeds did. We made 20 handling errors, many early in the tackle count, while Cas made just 9. They also made fewer missed tackles (11) than Leeds (39) and they made more offloads (13) to our (5). This meant they made around 50% more carries and metres than Leeds and 126 fewer tackles.
.
While penalties were shared equally Cas did get away with a lot of laying on in the tackle and quite blatant offside which led to some of our indiscipline and frustration.
.
There was no lack of effort from Leeds but our terrible ball control cost us any chance of winning the game aided by two crucial individual missed tackles and a bad ref.

Not quite so full of yourself tonight - no doubt you will find an excuse for why Cas were lucky once again to beat Leeds for the 7th time on the trot pfft!!

Good job it rained and Cas. played Sunday giving Leeds an additional two days rest



It isn't getting beaten Cas are a better side at the moment it is the dreary nature of the play. Last night Cas threw the ball around moved it - each player knew where they needed to be to fit the set plays. Leeds on the other hand just played one man rugby through - what must be - the slowest set of forwards in the league. This team has no pace anymore - Hardaker slowed down before he waltzed past Sutcliffe.
