What I would expect as a minimum was an improvement in dumb discipline and defensive effort. That's not been solely down to physical size.

To carry Evans on the bench just in case you get an injury in the backs is ridiculous. Mellor could've dropped into centre. Holroyd should've made the 17. I haven't seen any quality from McLelland since we signed him, though obvious pick for tonight. I've mooted before an outside of the box option could be Dwyer when we're desperate. At least we're only losing to Saints and Wigan before we get bodies back, which would be hard to win anyway. Hopefully we'll pick up after next week.

McClelland is the least of the concerns and is being badly let down by the middle. Also showing more willingness to go at the line than any others.

Agreed

This is desperate stuff both with and without the ball...

Bollock of the night goes to prior tonight taking the trophy off lui for the week.

Dearly me. Basic stuff like passing to your support is beyond us.

Agreed, he's been awful

How in gods name did we go from having Sinfield, Peacock, Burrow, McGuire, Webb, Senior, Buderus to this?

They were all at least as good as the best in SL, perhaps world class, now I’m struggling to think of any Leeds player other than Gale who can be spoken of as among the best in SL in their position...

To be fair to Prior he’s been pretty good since his arrival. Can’t be easy settling over here with all that’s gone on also. We desperately need some biff in that pack though. Desperately...

Because that team was a once in a generation team, sport is cyclical, couple that with the fact the squad and tradition was mismanaged somewhat and we ate where we are, this season covid or not was always going to be up and down, weve gon ok so far and were hitting a bad patch.

Weve got a few out today in important positions, saints are in good form, we aren’t.

Thats about it.

Oh and this forum when we had that team You mention was still a massive whinge fest.

Those 2 grace trys typify what's wrong with this side.
