who cares about any other side. we can all see this leeds squad is substandard. will finish above halfway? very much doubt it.
either way big changes are needed

Just seen now they won all three last season, where they have won only one this season. So therefore dropped four points. They finished fourth by two clear points last season, so therefore they currently have a win to make up.

By the way Warrington lost to Cas at home last year, but scraped wins at Catalans and Salford.

Wonder if we won any games in 2016 that we lost in 2015?
Comparing fixture to fixture just doesn't work, as you've just proven.

BTW, I don't for a minute think Wire won't make the top 4 either but it's got nothing to do with comparing this year and last.

Possibly, and may well be a valid point. But the only thing relevant presently is the repeating of form. Like I said, beat Catalans next week and we have a change, a change the majority expected in doing better than bottom four this year. Get beat, and we simply repeat last years results, and bottom four form.

Actually just looked, and not one single fixture did we lose in 2015 that we won last year.

For McDermott, this is definitely a must win game, but unless we get some troops back upfront we'll definitely struggle. Catalans are a big side all across the park and I can see them dominating us if we don't up our physicality. On a plus side, Luke Walsh is a huge weak link in their defence.

Win lose or draw Mc.D's time is up imo.

it was up a while ago. a long while ago

It may have been but GH doesn't seem to be too bothered so I can't see him going any time soon.

All the senior people at the club are buying into the injuries and that is what is being spouted by the likes of GH

I thought GH was more astute to be honest. surely he can see what everyone else can see

I'm sure he can but perhaps his priorities are not the same as ours - winning and saving money seldom come hand in hand in professional sport?

no but you can only spend the cap. compared to what leeds make that's nothing.
you buy championship players you end up with a championship side. that's what Huddersfield have done and look at them.
he needs to grow some balls

At the risk of stating the blindly obvious, the team and especially the senior players owe everybody a top notch performance. I would bring briscoe back and tell him to perform. Would also remind Watkins that he is supposed to be one of the best three quarters in the league, please perform like one of the best in the league. Forwards need to show a lot more aggression.

If we don't get the ball to the wingers on Friday, we will be back to the same old - run up the middle for 6 tackles, if lucky, then a hand-over.!

No good !

Yes he did miss 9 tackles but he made 41 tackles which you cannot describe as gutless. Some of his missed tackles were the result of attempting consecutive tackles having just got up off the floor from the previous one so his performance was gutsey and not gutless. Often those players that make the highest number of tackles also make a high number of misses because they are the sort of players that have the highest work rate. If you are looking for the gutless ones try looking at those that made 10, 15 or 29 tackles less.

I noticed Singleton and Parcel made a lot more tackles, and missed a hell of a lot less. They must have put in a wow of a performance?

It might not be gutless, as you say, but it is certainly a poor effort. Nine missed tackles is embarrassing whomever the player is.
