| Frankly that performance ain't going to be no Bradford at Cardiff and after an hour I've frankly switched it off ....
- I'm bored with the pointless flick-passing rugby. If we had a team of all conquering ball handlers than could pull that sort of game plan off, then I could understand it, but in reality we don't.
- What's happend to our ability to actually hold on to the ball for a set of six tackles ? Endlessly gifting the ball to the other side and putting us straight back on to the back foot.
- Suicide rugby in our own 20 ...
- The customary gifted interception
- One out rugby
- The lack of anyone wanting to put in the hard graft to build a platform where our quality players then run riot.
I feel sorry for Kevin Sinfield having to haul this lot along.
I can't fathom why Ali gets a start, when at the peak of his career, he's always come on as sub when opposition defences have tired a bit and he's had the space to weave his magic.
Whilst I'm not knocking the McDermott appointment yet, I though he'd come in and improve us by giving is the 'nasty b*stard' pack and hard tackling mentality. Well, we ain't see it yet.
Take nothing away from Warrington who are a good side, but questions have to be asked why our recruitment has not been as hot as some of the other top sides have and frankly at the moment, we're slipping ....
I watched a cr*p Leeds side throughout the 80s and I thought that once the good times came back, we wouldn't let oursleves slip back so easily and spinelessly as we are at the moment.

And how many interceptions have we let go this season ?
One try in this game, one last week Vs London, Cardiff ? Hull ?

| Leeds have declined in quality every year since 2007, it would be nice to see that trend end but this year's start hasn't improved my opinion on the likelihood of that

At least they were inventive.
And *Sinfield was both sensational and inventive..... AGAIN!

Good though his attempt was, I think even Sinny would have applauded the dying swan effort by Briers.
Now, that was inventive!

| Sinfield, try as he might, does not have the pace to keep the defensive line in two minds. Perhaps we should give Webb a run at 6?
Burrow had his worst game yet this season but he is still looking better than he did at times last year.

| Last year when we attacked it just looked flat and no runners etc this year especially in last two games there appears to be no structure and we just throw it round with no clue.
On the lack of pace on sinfield he chased breirs down and made ground on him. Breirs has no pace but is still a good 6.

| We look like a poorly coached team at the moment, and I don't necessarily see that improving in the short term. We seem to have "adopted" a more flamboyant attacking style, but don't have the players capable of pulling it off.
We seem to have forgotten that it's only worth throwing the ball around when you have disrupted the opposition defence (it's pointless throwing the ball from side to side against an organised defence). I am concerned about the lack of both defensive structure and tackling technique, which have deteriorated significantly since 2007.
Keith Senior and Ian Kirke are both complete passengers at the moment, and neither have earned a shirt this year. Buderus is looking like a 60 minute hooker not an 80 minute hooker, showing up very well in patches, but going missing in others. The kids are all willing, and are (understandably) making some mistakes, and they, along with Sinfield, are the only ones really worth watching at the moment. Cross is willing but useless, and Hauraki had a stinker tonight, so is our recruitment up to scratch?
With over 2 months to go before we get our best back and best forward fit again, this has the hall marks of a long season...

Sinfield was our best player tonight while Webb on attack these days resembles a headless chicken. He seems to have lost that vital extra pace and his passing keeps getting intercepted. Lets hope he can regain some form.
