This.

Not to worry. We've plenty of time to improve.....it was only round 3

Sounds almost as horrendous a game as the 46-46 draw with Sheffield - forwards from both sides not wanting a bar of any physical confrontation.

At least Leeds had the - p*ss weak - excuse against Sheffield that they were soon going to play at Wembley and nobody wanted to get injured.

Amor was the best Leeds prop on the pitch. He made 5 carries, sorry 5 quality carries, in Wakey's first 4 sets. He also put Kylie on his bottom.

It seems Lunt was brought on loan to play in the back row. Burrow remained at 9 the whole game whilst the other halves were terrible, McGuire in particular failing even on the flat track this time. Sinfield actually looked better the few times he jumped out of dummy half. Maybe McDermott can throw Sinfield into there for a few minutes.

The structures, selections and tactics are all over the place. Bizarre. He brought Lunt on with 3 mins left in the 1st half. Tactical genius.

The decision to release Ali and retain players like Hauraki and Delaney in his stead looks, with hindsight, to be silly. Good to see the old thoroughbred show some of our donkeys how a dangerous back rower should be.

The what?

Shanty towns have better structure than out team at the moment.

"After tonight's gutsy but draining win I can confirm that 34 year olds are not made to play 2 games in 48 hours..." https://twitter.com/JamiePeacock10/stat ... 8069143553 Which begs the question...

Stevie Ward will be named in the England Academy team to tour Australia later today so he will miss four games from July 15-August 13.

Couldn't believe we got that crucial pen late on. A shocking decision by the touch judge. What was the wakey player supposed to do? Lunt hit it straight at him and he had no chance!! Can understand agars fury

Again our esteemed coach showed the tactical nous of a Greek chancellor and is worth a lot less imo.
of course though he's got his "get out of jail for been sh## card to play because we had players doubling up from saturday".
Amor is a must to re-sign Hardaker at FB looked very comfortable as did Bjb staying on the wing.
I agree to a point re-Mags but how many times when he had the ball did he have runners and other options??
Once again our Captain and leader is shown to be defensively frail outwide but that's not a coaching issue according to GH!!
The highlight for me was seeing Ali back in action at HQ and thinking WHO was supposed to be his replacement/??
I actually think it may have done us better to lose tonight especially long term because this cull that has been muted can't come soon enough imo but i think the coaches could/should be on that list.

Cant help thinking Karma has come into play here with two wildly forward passes for wakeys last two tries, dont think agar can really complain too much on reflection.

The one eyed cock end and his linesman (Child) made two howlers for the tries.

Im not worried in the least

I tend to agree with rhinoms - a loss against Wakey may have been painful, but also may have helped accelerate changes. As it is, chances are BM will now continue to pick the same players until at least the cup semi-final.

IMO he missed a golden opportunity to try out some of the younger lads against Wakey - had we lost he had a ready-made excuse with half a team out, and lets be honest, if we're relying on a win against Wakey to qualify for the play-offs we'll do sweet FA when we get there anyway.

The bigger problem is how are the last few days 'exertions' going to affect their ability to perform in the coming weeks if McDermott is still unwilling to rotate his knackered looking side

Peacock said he was 'running on empty'. Which just about summed up the team's performance. OK we won and got the 2 points which were badly needed but tonight was the perfect opportuniity to give some of the young lads a chance to show what they are made of. Missed the boat Mac.

He will probably drop BJB next match to assert his authority.
