Anything to pipe up about? or just par for the course at this time of the season.

FWIW at saints and now bradford the team were on a hiding to nothing. Against hudds key playmakers were missing, and hudds are a very good team these days.

Just bad circumstances it seems.

for me the main issue is that in 240 minutes we have only scored 22 points, even with the injuries we should be doing better than that, after all we have the England number 6.....

Not concerned at all. If it was Sept and we had a full squad to choose from and were out of form, then it is maybe time to panic.
Keep the faith.

I concur. It's all about saving your ''allocation'' of good form

This attitude (which is shared by many across SL) will only be to the detriment of our game.

Our league form has been average for a few years now. This is a side in transition and we have to be patient with some of the younger players. Add to that a few injuries to key senior players and a slump in form is always possible.

Having said that our pack looks tired and seems to lack a player or 2 who can offload. As a consiquence our PTB is slow and we'e relativly easy to defend against.

Why?
I would love us to play well and win every week. That is unlikely to happen and the fact we have lost 3 games on the trot in March/April is of little concern in the longrun. While ever there is a playoff to decide the champions that will be the case.

Seems in all the three games our pack was beaten considerably giving no platform for the backs to do anything.
Can not believe we lost to Bradford who have a team of nobodies and before anyone says anything that we had Burrow and McGuire missing.
Bradford had their share of injuries plus they were playing with 12 men and still managed to score against us.
Not good enough whatever month of the year we are in.

We was very poor again i know players missing but to lose the ball so many times was a disgrace also it proves sinny is not a 6 also forwards do look tired but who can we bring in, no one cos been aloud to leave or go on loan,also have one of the best centres around in watkins and he never sees the ball.

While we are losing games it is always a problem, I don't buy into this "its only round 10" cr@p, "let's get worried in September".

Fans don't pay good money for people to say "meh, we'll make it up in the play-offs"! I for one pay money to watch my team play good rugby and most importantly win. It is a competetive sport and at the end of they day, the only thing that does count is winning.

Someone said it earlier, the issue at present is nothing to do with poor defending like in previous years. It's the fact we seem to have forgotton how to cross the bloody line ourselves. We are the 4th lowest scoring team in SL this year, which for me is a big problem seen as we are almost halfway through the campaign. It's a problem that wants solving and solving now, not later when we are trying to play catch up.

That was the worst lack of creative attack I've witnessed in 9 years from the Rhinos. The Halves were clueless tonight. And to conceed against 12 men is a sin!

Ward should be in the back row. I don't think he's a stand off at this level. We need more pace and ball skills in the back row I don't see why he wouldn't be able to handle it in the forwards. He'd certeinly offer us more than Delaney, Ablet and Clarkson at present.

Whenever we got to the Bulls end we either shafted it early in the tackle count or they dug in and we couldn't force repeats sets.
As daft as it sounds they never looked like scoring until their player got sin-binned and they upped their game around the ruck and we folded and were lucky not to concede a couple more tries.
Again we were plodding up the middle never gave our outside backs any decent ball whatsoever and offloaded blind to no-one or passed it forward.

I totally agree. Nothing good to say about the Rhinos tonight. Apart from Webb is better at Fullback than Smith

McShane`s distribution is too slow hence Burrow is better at hooker.
Sinfield needs to move back to 13 with possibly Ward in the halves alongside McGuire.
I agree the fans want to see us winning now AND at the end of the season.
We might as well buy one of those super 7 tickets or whatever they are called and just watch from August onwards.
Poor forward play and don`t even mention Kirke.
Poor distribution and a total lack of attacking skills throughout the game.
Well done Bradford but to be honest their team is bottom 4 material on paper and we should have stuffed them tonight.
