So its all down to social media that we are crap , what a load of rubbish . The social media criticism comes because we are crap , it is not the cause of it

Why does everything have to be so binary? I didn’t say the vitriol was the cause of our current performances, I said the vitriol on the stands and SM IMO doesn’t help. Huddersfield giants supporters group put s good post on Facebook which is worth a read. Players are human and abuse will affect them. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_ ... 1386044179

The squad for this game is relatively strong. Anything other than a comprehensive win and a respectable score would be a complete disaster. I am tired of lame excuses for this seasons debacle. It’s time some of the team put in a decent performance, especially Newman.

I don’t think the social media stuff put us in the hole but I’m pretty sure it can make it harder to climb out of it.

i do not agree with the abuse , but it comes from poor performances , a lack of effort , bad coaching and a delusional hierarchy . Sometimes people think that nothing is going to change without voicing their disapproval , unfortunately there will always be idiots that go too far .

Agree it`s about time Prince Harry started to show his worth and with that squad named we should win this by plenty.
A narrow win or dread to think of it a loss is a disaster imo and shows the players have lost faith with the coach.

Nothing to do with the first team as a whole being not that good just people on social media having an opinion.

The people who are responding and ranting obviously don't take the time to read them. It says a lot more about them than it does you.

A relatively strong squad to pick from.
A home game against one of the poorest teams to play in SL.
This should be a comfortable victory.
The fact that some are suggesting we may lose just shows exactly where we are unfortunately.

He must have forgot to change accounts

Cannot believe we should even think about losing to Cas. Hull put 4 tries on them last week and have one of if not the worst attack in the league bar London who are a Championship team in effect.
If we cannot put a score on them heads should definitely roll.

I think overall the Leeds fans have been great considering the trash they have been served up in recent years. I’ve been to all the home games and do not think there is any kind of toxic atmosphere to affect the players. For me that is a poor, poor excuse. There may be a dissenting element at away games, they haven’t been loud enough to hear on television but I’m sure if you’re among the small numbers now travelling you will be aware of them. I don’t do twitter, instagram etc, and I’m damn sure if I was an underperforming player I wouldn’t be anywhere near them. Too many saddos spend too much of their life on them including all the silly footballers that are forever banging on about the abuse they get on twitter. If I’ve offended Matt Frawley on here with some harsh comments then tough, he’d be the daftest man in Leeds as well as the worst rugby player if he chooses to look what people are saying on a fans forum. The players know how crap they’ve been themselves without having to look for confirmation on here. Like I said at the top, the Leeds fans as a whole have been good, loyal supporters that have been restrained in vocal criticism of the team at home games. I won’t be booing or getting on players backs, but any that may choose to do so in the future have every right if they’ve paid their money.

I think some are misinterpreting what I was saying. I never said that the abuse etc was an excuse for poor performances, I said I don't think it helps.

I agree with Leeds Owl that the home crowds are generally good and I don't hear that much abuse where I sit, it's online and away games where I see it most, and I'll stand by my opinion that it's not helpful and certainly not pleasant to be around.

Hull away was bad, and we won.
