| Quote batleyrhino="batleyrhino"Merrin must be made captain now. Watkins has never been much of a talker and now that his performances barely justify his inclusion he’s not leading by example either.
We need to make a statement signing now, I said this the other week and it’s getting even more serious. It needs to be someone like Sam Burgess, although I’d have a go for George Burgess as I think we’ve a chance to get him.
We missed Myler tonight (I feel a bit unclean saying that) and Lolohea shouldn’t play for us again until he loses at least a stone.
Walker was much more rocks than diamonds, and the wingers were none existent.
In the forwards only Merrin, and I thought Smith can hold their heads up. Albert is a desperation signing, and will not add anything other than a warm body.
Other than Merrin and Smith, all the other forwards can go for me, not one of them has any serious fight in them, and that’s the biggest worry of all.'"
Smith missed a couple tonight, although he also nailed most of his D and I think is improving.
Oledzki wasn't as good as the KR props but has done nothing wrong this year, and is still only 20.
Lolohea had some nice touches again but doesn't look like a half back as people have been saying. Walker might need a rest over Easter and we might see Tui at the back again.
Very concerned about Watkins, he's not moving well at all and was struggling to keep up with play at times.
I know what you mean about Myler: but frankly he is the only proper half we have in the first team squad. Sutcliffe annoyed me tonight, too greedy and some critical errors.

| Pathetic rudderless rabble.
Watkins in particular is a prime example of why we need a reserve grade he's nowhere near physically or mentally ready to play in SL.

| Quote The Eagle="The Eagle"Two main problems. Powder puff defence, especially on our own line.
Also our halves are awful.
Not many who can hold their head up tonight.'"
The defence in older players is attitude, and they need to go. We're losing some D with the younger boys just not being physically developed enough yet, they're being busted by stronger opponents sometimes.

| I think Oledski took the ball at first reciever twice on the last tackle tonight, that is not acceptable- Myler gets some stick but he does marshall the team around better than any other options we have at halfback.
I don’t think Watkins is mentally or Physically right at the moment, Id give hime a few weeks off again and put Newman back in.
Lolohea can either knuckle down and lose some weight and show some desire to be the 6 he’s always wanted to be or I’d try get rid somehow.

| Quote Brodie123="Brodie123"Live been watching Leeds for 50 years take you blue and amber glasses off, this is the worse Leeds team I have ever supported. This team is shocking, can I suggest you take you head out of your ar** and realise what is actually going on here, and yes I'm the mug who bought 8 tickets in the directions suite ,'"
Nah it's not the worst side mate. Maybe not far off though.
There really is no point in moaning about it all, the club has sunk into this hole over several years, and it will take time to fix it too. There are no magic wands to wave here; just changing the coach or whatever won't make everything better, because we need at least 4 more top quality players in the side.

I think confidence is shot in a couple of players, Watkins and Lolohea included.
During one of the many line breaks HKR had, saw Watkins tracking back and was losing ground against the opposition player, looking like he was running through treacle. The mobility in that knee isn't right I don't think. However Watkins probably does defend better than Newman still. I tell you what, I'm not sure I'd want to be Furner right now with the options available and the pressure on.

Exactly I’m as annoyed by the season so far as anyone but I did actually expect it, our aim is to just stay up, which I think we will do, we can attack which is better than last year, we just cant defend

Watkins looked almost in pain trying to keep up with briscoe in the early stages of the second half, his knee clearly isn’t right yet.

| If that’s the case, and I believe it is, then neither the club or player are doing the right thing. He’s clearly not fit enough to play and mentally that’s killing his performances.
Newman needs to play to get some experience, my worry would be what he’s defending alongside...

We are badly missing Ward. We could do with Crosby coming back fit as well.

100% agree on Ward, his effort is badly missed, its no coincidence that since he went off against Saints we’ve gone down hill
