But to suggest that we had a near full strength team is a bit of a stretch. We had a lot of youth in that team. Including 3 players under the the age of 21 that all played decent mins. Furthermore we missed some of our most important players the like of
You forgot Miller our most lethal player last year.
Cas stuffed Hull are we to assume Hull are duffers? I know hull had a really week team out but even so they are hardly having the meltdown you lot are having.
Leeds had a golden era now they are struggling. It happened to SAints and Wigan nothing lasts forever and worse still look at the Bulls - calm down!

I think people who are blaming the halves haven't played 6/7 before, numerous times they caught the ball and literally everybody else was stood still, no one made runs and no one offered themselves out the back.
It doesn't matter how good you are, if your decision is to run it yourself or pass to someone stood still, then the defence will never really be troubled.

I know what you are saying. But my opinion is that our Halves (The Steering Wheel) are steering us into a Wall and it doesn't make for good viewing.

| Quote: ThePrinter "I don't think most people have actually listened to his comments properly. He didn't say IT WAS a public training run or an OPPOSED training run like most have said on here. It said it's ALMOST like a public training run.....which it is and always has been. You go into that game, the first one back just working on your own stuff, you won't be concentrating in the build up on what the opposition is going to do and it's all about trying stuff rather than what the score is.'"
If he and the players have that mentality then why charge £18 to get in?
Either let people in free or make it a £10 charity game or something.

I never mentioned boxing days halves. I was talking about players coming in like McGuire and burrow

Remind what kind of season Hull had last year, then compare that to the one Leeds had, and then try and understand why the appalling display is worrying for many of us.
And Saints and Wigan didn't fall as low as we did within ONE season of winning the treble.

We've had too many of these over the last season, but the coaches & management seem oblivious to it all.

| At this point in time it all looks very gloomy over LS6. But it is early days, we didn't put out a strong team and we may look a lot closer to being competitive when the build up to the season is complete.........
But I'm not holding my breath and I think we will have another tough season. For mine the issue is that our succession planning has been P Poor. We had a superb squad, the core of which had played together for a long long time. The management of the decline and replacement of key players in that squad has been nothing short of disastrous. If we had a plan, and I see no significant evidence that we did, it was not sufficiently robust and it has not proved effective thus far. The rapid fall from treble winners to middle 8's is evidence enough to support that assertion.
The big question for me this year was will we make a better fist of strengthening the squad and preparing for the further departure of members of the "golden generation". On current evidence I'm not optimistic. I really hope someone is quoting this back to me in 10 months’ time and ripping the proverbial out of me for being so pessimistic.

That's true it was very poor but that still doesn't mean that the fixture isn't exactly as I described above, just that they didn't execute it.
By now anyway people should it's never the style of McDermott (or GH) to do heavy public criticism in press conferences and leave it to behind closed doors. He said after the season that he knew we had problems way more serious than they thought after the loss to HKR around Easter.....but at the time his public comments were still of staying calm and still thinking we could make the top 4.

Because he and the players don't set the ticket prices. The guy even said last year that he'd prefer not to play on Boxing Day so I'm not going to act all shocked by what he said this year.

Completely agree with this they didn't even have a basic 1 in 1 out the back option it was just going sideways or 1 up the middle.

So what the hell have they been doing in training these past few months? Cutherbertson says fitness training but I didn't see much fitness on display. Wakey carved the defence to pieces...

Read Ablett harping on about systems and tactics that were being worked on. We scored 6 and leaked 30.......

| It's how Wakefield scored some of those try's.
Back to the dark days of grasping at air and shirt tails from last year.
Kudos to Wakey, they realised Ablett was MIA, tasted blood in the water and mercilessly went for him. Absolute turnstyle at times.
As for working on tactics? Isn't that what the training ground is for? Looked like total strangers at times.
Sutty running it into touch, wheeling round and eyeballing a bemused Briscoe was classic "Head up the anus" play and he wasn't alone, Leeds stank the place out.

I honestly think there's a little bit of the younger players been overawed sometime by some of the senior players and don't feel able to boss them about etc
