Some bad luck for sure but the lack of go forward/ errors / discipline is poor.

The Ruan thing I don't get at all when we needed size and a fresh body.

Quite enjoyed that. It’s February, the pitch was terrible and we’ve got a new spine.
Edgell looks like he’ll be a decent player. Lisone was great last week and terrible this week. Bentley had a better game, tackled everything and made some great supporting runs. Still scares me though and looks likely to give a penalty away every tackle.
Seen enough though to think we’ll be dangerous once the pitches dry out. Croft is the complete player

Nice farmer's field to play on though...

Agree with all of that. Discipline and lack of grunt up front on a heavy pitch cost us but no dramas. I never get concerned when we lose if we’ve competed well. Some good signs still imo. We’re just held back a bit bit by our prop depth

Good pov Magic and from what I have seen and also a bit of side knowledge I believe Edgell is the real deal and should be promoted as often as possible, Miller is still in the same bracket as regards proven ability and question marks re fitness.

I know it's only week 2 and I desperately don't want to sound negative but....
The difference between the 2 teams was obvious tonight.
They are a well coached team, with a game plan.
We aren't. We're a really dumb team.
We rely on worldie tries to keep us in games.
Poor kicking, static attack, daft errors when we're on the back foot.
It's all too familiar.
Why on earth is Ruan only coming on after 73 mins??
Smith has 10-12 games to save his job.
Looking at the next 5 games, I think we lose 4 of them.

Nail on the head about Bentley. He competes as hard as any player I've ever seen. It's just that so much of that effort is wasted. Made an unbelievable take off his knees from Croft's low pass but just couldn't reign in the instinct to throw a complete speculator in the next second. That was the game for me. I don't know how you temper that or if you should even try. Frustrating player.

The increase in sin bin offences.. the stupid VAR in football... its like no one wants any momentum In sport anymore... (although football is a business not a sport now)

Did we play better than against Salford? Sounded a pretty similar standard on the radio. Very patchy.

Let’s not go there yet. See where we are after 10 -12 games.

Miller was ill nothing to do with fitness

Leeds have some good players and a better coach would get more out of them. Surely Rohan has had enough time now at the club to at least be showing some signs of serious progress? I’m far from a Leeds fan but it frustrates me watching Leeds thinking it’s Tony Smith coaching us at Rovers again.. Must be in the Smith genes that their teams just don’t seem to be up for a bit of ‘honest’ play.

Some people on here can’t wait to ‘go there’.

Will happen every time we lose

WE ARE A REALLY DUMB TEAM

Let's put it down to new team , KR did seem to get the breaks too

It wasn’t the new team that cost us it was just lack of discipline Nd a terrible pitch.

Personally saw enough signs that we’ll be ok.
