I recall seeing that in at least 3 games this season. When we have so many (average) kick options, how the hell do we get to a situation where a prop is kicking the ball on the last tackle?
I would say that the coach is a clown, but frankly it's now that bad that this comment would be offensive to clowns...

It looked in the first few minutes like the game plan was to go wide early. A good tactic against a Bradford side who are pretty average in the outside backs. Unfortunately we didn't the conditions or personnel to play that game plan and clearly had no plan B other than Sinfield, Jonesy and Buderus trying to use their experience to drag other players around with them

Yup. The depressing thing was how clueless we looked. The players aren't *that* clueless. It takes coaching to make professional athletes look that bad.
You could throw a stick in the street and hit someone who'd do a better job for Leeds than McDermott.

| One of the worst games i have seen in a long time.
Need to freshen up the squad with newer young british players, and not ageing Aussies. Only positive for me out of that game was the performance of JJB, Ablett and Peacock

| Dire game between two dire teams. The Bulls have realised they are inept and so take their penalty goal kicks. We still think we're as good as when Tony Smith was coach and so ran ours. Hence we lose. We need to realise how bad we are.
I thought there was an interesting cameo at the end. As well as Buderus played he again ended the game with a brain fart and threw away our last chance (though I am sure plenty will leap to his defence/excuse soon enough). Diskin on the other hand ended the game composed, calm and in control, fittingly taking the last tackle of the match with a smile.
Disspointing result but happy for two of our longest and most loyal servants now at the Bulls, Disco and Franny.

| What about when we broke through near end only to stab it through for ablett to chase ? He aint no scott donald is he and totally another wrong decision. The players all harp on about how things are good and coach is good but something is not right at the club and GH needs to act now.

No couldn't get down, understand it was pretty dire though
On another note Disko has just put this on twitter, fair play to the lad.
[iI'd like to thank the Leeds fans who made me feel welcome back at Headingley. For those that booed, I'll still remember you fondly[/i

| we need freshening up and i think GH knows that or i hope he does, we were poor, but i felt we were again like so many times this season our worst enemy, giving a away silly penalties, we did have enough chances to win, but were too dumb with the ball! i think we'll see ali, senior, kirke, leave at the end of the year i'd be tempted to give webb another year he annoyed me big stle kicking on the first, but that aside he looks our most threatening attacking option at the moment.

Arguably pushed out of the door?
As soon as he'd pocketed a huge wad of testimonial cash, he reneged on his one-year contract extension for extra wonga at the Bulls.
I doubt he'll lose much sleep over getting booed tonight.

| Two extremely poor teams on show tonight and neither will be in the shuffle at the end of the season....the second half became the STEVE GANSON SHOW and was the difference on the night, the guy is an arrogant demonstrated by the penalty from the kick off after Bailey had previously applauded him for turning a scrum into a penalty next to the sticks. If you watch any kick off there's always a player in advance of the ball.
That said we were against an average side, the team selection was crap, we have no kicking game and no direction or game plan from the coach...time to go I'm afraid he's just not up to it

Buderus was great tonight, as was Diskin.
Whatever's broken at Leeds it isn't the hooker and Diskin being here would have changed little IMO.
Don't start another of these debates...please!

Do you honestly think Leeds wanted to keep him?
Whether he'll lose sleep over it or not, it shows some Leeds fans up to be the s that they are
