He's played under every coach since Brian Mac plus a couple more while out on loan. He won't improve, he can't improve. He's not alone either, our player development is dreadful.

I like Cam Smith as a person, I like his guts in defence as a player. You can see the Lee Crooks influence. He’s no Dave Heron.

Awful, but not suprising, if theres one thing you can guarantee, when this group of players are confident, they are over confident, and serve up a stit show every time.

Pathetic, brain dead, bunch who think they're better than they are

Wakey fan in peace. After pounding us and looking 3 gears quicker than us in the first half on Boxing Day, then obviously watching the highlights of your game against Wigan I genuinely thought you’d be pushing top 4. You were completely nullified yesterday, Frawley was atrocious (never rated him) and in my opinion the most overrated english players in SL Connor, Bentley and Newman were atrocious too. Handley is not a centre but is a class winger. If you look at the Wakefield trinity stats which are easy to find you’ll see why you were beat. It was a clinical workman like team performance that beat you and the score was flattering. If everything clicks you have some team, but by that performance you look like you have too many individuals and not a team.

Cam poked his nose through a couple of times. Was ok going forward but has a bad habit of slowing the ball as a pivot.

He wants to watch back how 35 year old Pitts played yesterday. That’s why he’s never been in or around the England RL set up. His ball playing ability isn’t there, he’s one dimensional, just carried forward and stagnates the attack. He’s a powerful running 13, but a quality international 13 he is not. Dare say his brother was a better play playing forward.

Was really hoping for a noticeable difference after the "Brad Arthur effect" hype, most of the issues still there sadly.

The video ref and lino had shockers surely the wingers legs were on the floor over the touch line when he passes the ball?
Still I thought we were second best.
Trueman bosses the game in the fist half and the wakey props outplayed ours.

All fair points nothing much to disagree with there.
Think Wakey will go well this season, expected so much more from our lot.

He is a high quality coach, nothing to blame now but the poor quality players. Too many still not good enough and never will be.
Connor Newman Frawley Ackers Bentley Smith just the tip of the iceberg, connor will get a right hounding this season unless he improves massively.

The whole 'culture' thing at Leeds just seems so forced and not authentic I think thats a big problem, that they're trying to create something thats very cliche and corporate.

Following Leeds (even from your sofa) has become a pretty depressing pastime. With way more resources than petty much every other club they keep getting it wrong. Think I'm logging out for my own health til signs are we might see a return to better days..

Not really blaming him, just disappointed with the performance, if he can't get a tune out of these players, not sure who could.
