I've had a season ticket for far more years than I care to remember, 40+. There have been many seasons where I have headed off to games without looking forward to it, last night was one of them. While it was good to put a score on against Hull, the lack of competitive opposition was disappointing. I at least left HQ with a smile on my face.
My point is, I'll keep supporting and going to the games through thick and thin. This season has probably been one of the most dissapointing after promising so much, but not the first and probably won't be the last. I don't go to away games anymore (or not many) but Leeds always have been and always will be my team and I'll go to home games as long as I'm able. I appreciate not everyone is of the same opinion and they are entitled to theirs. Rhinos till I die

I agree, the ball movement looked a lot better, we looked like we had worked on a more structured attacking style and there was the set play from the scrum that must have been worked on in training. This would not have been the case under Smith. Can we replicate it successfully against Wigan, we don’t have long to wait. My guess is tougher opposition makes everything that much harder therefore we will see more handling mistakes, ball lost in contact and we won’t see Lachie Miller skipping merrily down the wing after dancing around a few players. It’s was only a week before Hull that we didn’t have a single player who could catch a ball under pressure or find a gap through which to run, due to more competent opponents. That goes up another level on Friday, and that’s when I’ll happy if we can pull of a decent performance against better physical specimens that have something to play for.

We have just given Wigan a bit of a hiding and our record at their place is pretty good.

You never know

I agree the opposition made us look good. At least one of the passes to Edgell could have been intercepted and would have been by a team pressing up. the switch plays would have been hammered and I believe more ball would have been dropped with the opposition in our faces.

The play will need to be a lot more conservative this week and we will need a lot more from the forwards.

Fans are frustrated - years of under performing and low quality entertainment - what do you expect fans to be like. The squad is poor and it shows. Arthur will be a positive no doubt but unless you can increase the quality of the squad the impact of a high quality coach will be diminished. The club and its management allowed the players in this squad to be signed on longer contracts so who is to at fault here - the fans or the club's hierarchy? If the money for Martin is destined elsewhere in the squad that would be a dereliction of duty.

The only addition for 2025 is a 37 year old winger - is this really the best the club can do?

I appreciate for you the club can do no wrong and your deep inside view is the supporters should just accept whatever the club does. For most fans there is a reality check that says this is simply not good enough and there is a need to point the finger at those responsible.

Sorry this just isn't true, I was making a specific point about where we are now, the club has taken big steps with backroom appointments, the two biggest you could make (ones that the fans wanted) and yet there are still people moaning.

"The only addition for 2025 is a 37 year old winger - is this really the best the club can do?"

This is a bit bizarre, unless you seriously think we won't make anymore signings. Let's not repeat last year either when everyone was moaning about lack of signings when the current season hasn't even finished, we went on to make some decent signings.

I have never said the club can do no wrong, far from it, I could easily counter that with you think the club can do nothing right, which Im sure you would say isn't true.
