I think the bottom line, as many have stated before, is that the players are simply not good enough, and many wouldn't make it into other SL teams. However, we all knew it would take time, and we need to bear with them until contracts start to expire at the end of the season and new, high quality players can be brought in. Blaming Furner won't achieve anything - I don't think any coach could make a silk purse out of this sow's ear.

[list[/listA forlorn Furner in the press conference. Also said 'there' 37 times which equates to around once every 13 seconds, as I assumed the rate increases with the level of pressure/disappointment.

But it p@@@@@d it down for the second half Seth and we had Westy Ellis and Taylor resting for this period.

But that is pure fantasy.

McDermott would get blamed.

And I completely disagree, Furner was a poor appointment but even I am surprised it's showing so soon.

Both half backs missed 5 tackles each!!

The squad was & is still a problem.
Furner does take some blame for selection but saying that the cull should have run deeper & keeping Lowes on was a big mistake imo.
Out of our current squad i think another 10+ should be allowed to leave.

Leeds v wigan relegation battle? We are both very poor so far.......

Did the very glaring two attempts resulting in two misses from Handley not register?

I hope the club sold plenty of season tickets this year. But if the on field performance doesn't improve, it might be a tough ask to balance the books next year. I agree with the the "GH asleep at the wheel" comment above, I didn't expect us to win anything this year but I did expect to see solid progress, upset the odd front runner and secure a mid table finish. Even that modest expectation looks unlikely at present. But it's early days and as Corporal Jones might say "Don't Panic"

It’s not that early days, we have played over 20% of the regular season and only managed 1 win.

10 minute wonders! Pity the game lasts for 80. Sinfield too has to take some of the flack, looking after his old mates. This team has no heart. Having a waster like Ferris wearing the captain's armband demonstrates the lack of desire in this (dare I say team?) bunch.

10 missed tackles between Myler and Lolohea is unacceptable, especially when you consider their limited ability to control a game with kicks etc.

Unfortunately this is one area of the team we don't have the luxury of options - at least with the forwards there are injured players to come back and potentially new signings to be made in-season. McClelland in for Myler might be a good call at some point, and I like the idea of putting Lolohea to FB and trying Walker at SO, BUT a pairing of Walker and McClelland looks highly risky.

Can we bring McGuire back for the rest of the season? But for the occasional flash in the pan, Myler really isn't cutting it in his Leeds career.
