Following Wakefield's loss to Cas John Kear was understandably concerned over the number of penalies they gave away - in kickable positions. He said this is something they can sort out quickly and it will be addressed this week. If that's the case why haven't we done something,anything, as we've been giving away needless penatlies all week? I shall watch with interest to see if he can turn it around.

I walked fine with a torn knee cartilage. Didn't mean I could play professional RL though

Bailey got injured on an army away day - team bonding session

Oh that one!!

Similar to the old knee that goes, when Leeds hit pre-season and a ride in a plane is involved.

What position does Worrall play?
Couldn't understand your coach only using 15 when Buderus went off injured. Surely, as has been said, if he's in the 17 then he should play.
Buderus was missed as soon as he went off. I was expecting him back after half time. The longer he was off the better I liked it.
I said to the man next to me "they can keep Buderus off for as long as they like"
Leeds go forward slowed as soon as DB went onto the bench. It was from that point that Wigan came back to the point where when he returned Leeds were under the cosh. By the time he was back on Leeds were never going to pull it back.
Didn't he go off at 0-10 and return at 18-10?
What on earth was McLennan thinking?
Miss a trick? You bet!

Second Row

If he is not fit at the start of the game then he is probably even worse after half an hour

He does actually have some kind of injury/knock, since he was in at Kirkstall doing rehab on saturday morning. Now, how bad it is and whether its actually keeping him out of the team I dont know.

I think bringing Buderus off was not a bad idea. Let Diskin have a go then throw him back on for the last quarter where he can cause damage against tired players.

As it was Wigan weren't tired because they were walking over us and we were giving them easy ground with penalties. And we couldnt have seen the injury coming.

Our discipline maybe an issue but our big problem is our pack.. No go forward at all.

I disagree. For the first 30 mins on Friday, Leeds were making 60-80 meters per set, forwards were getting the ball on the gain line, and in their hands. For some reason this stopped around 30mins and we went back to very slow and inaccurate distribution from the ruck, and players not getting the ball near the gain line.

Not sure what changed though

with regards to worral i just dont think he is good enough like of size strength etc..

i can understand if we had a winger on the bench and did not play but not a 2nd row. Especially as we were down to only 3 subs. If bm does not think he is good enough he should not be in the squad

I understand the general point you're making and don't disagree with it at all but on this part specifically



Presumably that was on the sets they managed to complete and get to a kick.

Just a pity there weren't more of them. Leeds completed two out of their opening six sets in the first twelve minutes. They reached half time completing only ten from seventeen (59%) and were still leading.

Just how bad were they in the second half?
