I hope we win tonight. If we win by definition we should have played better. As McD said the most worrying thing about the last two results has been the standard of performance.
As for booing. It's something that I don't do as I don't think I should boo a team that I support, however, I would not condemn anyone that booed at the end of the game. I think the booing at the Huddersfield game was more a show of discontent than abuse. I have been at Elland Rd when the crowd has been far more negative for less reason, I remember the Armfield out chants.
I hope we are all on this board tonight congratulating a great performance and result.

So do I!! but I just dont know. shall have to see, looking forward to the game though!

The only thing that matters is the performance, get that right and the result will naturally follow.

Its in the paper but not the YEP wbsite. interview with BMD Basically saying we will turn it around. which is all fair comment but the bit that troubled me was "Mcdermott has changed rhinos style of play, encouraging a more expansive brand of rugby and he is in no doubt that his approach is right".

Suppose he has confidence in his methods which is positive, but this open brand of rugby needs tweeking IMO.

BMD is the type of person that if he believes in something, no matter what the evidence it is failing, he will stick to it until it kills him. Very determined or stubborn? You decide.

Think i would come down on the side of stubborn. good to be determined, but sometimes things need changing slightly, and if there is evidence its failing its just stubborn not to acknowlege it.

At the end of the day Leeds Rhinos are in the entertainment business - if you went to a concert and the singer could not remember the words you would certainly express your anger.

So players are incapable of carrying out basic skills and we should just applaud as if they are playing high level razzle dazzle stuff - this is the real world, if you don't deliver at work would you expect some home truths?

These are highly paid grown men - not kids - they need to understand what customers expect just like any other business.

And that is what's going wrong within our sport, its turning into busineses rather than sporting clubs

Can't make it tonight due to other commitments which is a shame do not remember the last one I missed at Osdal. I will of course be able to see some of the game on TV when I get home and will be cheering the lads come what may. As with other posters would never boo my team but will give them plenty of noise and also think you pay your money an can boo to show dicontent if you like.
I believe we just need awin to get us started so will except it however it comes tonight.

Lawrie perhaps if clubs were treated as businesses and not sporting clubs less of them would get into financial dificulties?

Thinking about it could be a good game tonight, both teams got walloped last week and will be looking for big improvements tonight, Just hope we are on the right side of the result.

Fair point, I just wish results mattered on the pitch rather than off it

but eh, thats life

He is right, but you need the right tools to do it. At the moment it's like building a shed with a hammer, a stanley knife, bluetack, and a tree.

The two are very closely linked - no surprise Herr Hetherington was at the training ground on Saturday and in the press this week.

IMO not sure he is right. Yes i want to see expansive rugby but not every set! think he should be going for expansive play at the right times in the right places on the pitch, not every single play!

I think if we first earned the right to play with flair we would go alot better.
