He got injured, what do you want him to do, carry on?

I didn’t say Rohan Smith lost us the game? I think the way he’s asking us to play, with no line speed or aggression in defence, which plays into the hands of a great kicker like Abdull, makes a difficult night harder. We are not capable of holding the ball (almost all season) yet our game plan is to throw it around all the time, which just makes things harder. Our players are not that good (haven’t been for almost 10 years now) so we need to play a game that minimises their weaknesses and maximises their strengths. I don’t see us doing that this season.

I’ll say it again, I don’t want him to leave, I want him to change. I also want the players to stop dropping the ball, giving away penalties and missing tackles. The two things are not mutually exclusive.

Don't forget dropped balls are his fault....

We went for a short drop out at 0 - 0

It wasn’t a traditional short kick off, did you watch it on TV?

I think we’re looking for excuses a touch here. We haven’t produced a performance all season that gives me any confidence. We’d had a couple of decent spells. But all took often have we been clueless and soft. How exactly are we been coached to play? Because I can’t tell you - it’s reckless, unorganised chaos that every now and again produces a few points. All too often we are trying to cheat the game and take short cuts

No. We weren't.

what do you mean?

I did.
Austin went for touch around the 10m line and missed, leaving us under pressure. It was a match crying out for game management and playing for field position from the halves and ours were poor. It's hard when you keep losing possession and letting the opposition go the length of the field in 6 tackles though, granted.

Spot on mate

I’m not too surprised or despondent about that one. Conditions were terrible and we are too many troops down in the back 5 when they needed to be skilful.

Thought our pack was ok again, although Tet had very little impact tighter in again and Mik needs game time.

I’ve been impressed with McDonnell.

We missed McDonald tonight he has been our main strike in the backs.

Re FB although I want us to replace Myler he was missed tonight, we needed to skill at the back and short passing into the line on attack. Conditions too poor to really judge Hooley but yes, NRL fullback incoming for me please.

Biggest softy to put on a Leeds shirt in quite some time.

Don't get the weather beating us excuse as it was the same for both sides. Need line speed. Need aggression. Need to stop the stupid errors. The first 2 problems come down to the coach I'm afraid. I'm all for doing things differently but when it doesn't work you change the tactic and move on

Think he means poor tactics and team selection.
