Powder puff soft defence like last night, poor handling and respect for possesion, would not beat a top championship side if we pkay like that again, i really hope that was just a blip on an upward trajectory .

Anyone think Merrin will get called up for questioning the integrity of the referee when he got sin binned?

I wasnt aware he did? Thought he was protesting a (lack of) decision by the ref?

But he carried on doing it and must of said something on toward to be giving a penalty away and a yellow card.

Furner needs to have a strong word whether he gets called up or not. Merrin questions the referee too often. It doesn't set a good example to the younger players and is not the leadership qualities we were hoping for from him

Beat me to it.

We aspire to be inconsistent.

No, although his reaction was wrong, that tackle/holding down situation was farcical. The inconsistency with regard to the ruck is shambolic. If that incident makes the news in Oz it’ll be even harder attracting players

No he should be fine
But he needs to buy a better lipstick though!.
The one he had on on Friday night had all run down the side of his mouth as he walked off in a huff!

Depends entirely what he’s said.

Dissent and questioning the integrity of the ref are 2 very different things.

Plus, not that it makes it right, but I’d probably agree with the general tone of what he said to Hicks!

Most likely not, I think he'd have drawn a red if what he said was that bad. He'd do well to remedy some of his own shortcomings before criticising others though.

Smith, Golding and Newman all played for Fev today. Newman scored 2, Smith scored 1.

Widnes gave Fev too much to do in the 2nd half, and were too strong over the 80 minutes.

Think that would have been Daniel Smith, Cameron wouldn't have played 2 games in 3 days.

Newman, Golding and L Briscoe were the only Leeds players involved in the game today for Featherstone. Widnes won 44-22.

They aren’t the easy beats many people were expecting, they’ve just won against Wigan.

I won’t say the Hull game is a must win game, with all the snowflakes crying when I said Wakefield was must win, those fans must still think we can win the league leaders shield.

Shit, ter and test. How anybody can rate Golding is beyond me...maybe he could make it as a plodding hooker, but he is painfully slow, never makes a break and can't pass (people suggesting he could play on the wing bonkers..would have been worse than that Aussie who paid his own flight & who McDermott persisted with for about 10 games before the final straw in crabbing across his own goal line against Hull and got tackled behind the line...forget his name) ...Sutcliffe should have been moved on last season at least....he'll never make a second rower ..can't bust a tackle; no grunt. Usless....and Myler wtf? He is hopeless ...no kicking game at all.....bring back Mags. Leeds really do have some issues. We all recognise we need some big props, but Ferres has done bugger all since he signed and Ward is already sadly done (I blame McDermott for using his willing heart of a lion to make him a wholly unsuitable battering ram). It is a sad state of affairs that I believe our better second row pairing is still JJB and Ablett. Merrin has to be used at LF. Singleton might be better tried in second row as he is fast enough and able to do more damage out there than up the middle. As for the backs Watkins might have gone same way as Mags...lost that edge in pace. He's probably better at FB these days although I liked Lolohea for his cut out passes not seen the Webb days. I'd like to see Walker tried at SO alongside McLelland .. a pairing that cannot be worse that we have at the moment.
