| On a positive note, I thought Kylie played well, and provided good impact from the bench, I thought he was unlucky with the penalty against him, it was a fair hit IMO.

2014 repeating itself, except it's started earlier. Falling in a massive hole with players in decline and a coach who has absolutely no idea how to use his interchanges.
I'd love to see those bagging Watkins try to play centre with Burrow, McGuire and Ablett constantly dragging defences into your space with clueless sideways runs. He's at serious risk of not realising his potential and needs to get to the NRL as soon as he can.

| Need our back 3 back. Handley's done well but is struggling now. Even if you classify the last try as one of those that can happen, the other Cas try in the 2nd half he came in when he really shouldn't have. Can't help but think Hardaker would've stopped the first try whereas Sutcliffe put in a tame tackle attempt (also pretty poor when conceding that 40/20).
As for subs, yeah one unused but doubt Walters would've made any difference really. The big sub issue isn't so much that Sinfield was on the bench, but that when he came on it was for Aiton and not Burrow. Just too many errors in the end, knock ons and forced passes. After we tied it up and should've looked to be the ones to win it Cuthbertson knocks on and we never really see the ball again for the remainder of the match in a meaningful position.
I know they said they didn't want to ask for a fixture change as it should be Wakefield's choice as the home team but was a really unwise choice in the end.

I agree I thought he did well.
On another note, Ablett has always looked better imo when playing on the left side and I thought Ward was playing well when on the right. They've changed it around and I don't know why or that it's the right move.

| I don't understand benching Sinfield to start McGuire and Burrow in the halves. Neither has a kicking game and if McDermott could cast his mind back to pre-2011 he'd realise we always did worse when Kev wasn't playing at 13 to complement Mags and Burrow at 6 and 7. Plus taking Aiton off (who was again outstanding) meant Burrow's defensive hole still needed filling while we lost Aiton's ability out of DH.
On the plus side I thought Kylie & Keinhorst both played really well - JK looked like he might actually make a SL standard yet.
Moon & Sinfield to start next week for Keinhorst & Burrow with both dropping to the bench for Sinfield & Walters.
Also Yates needs game time - got on for what seemed around 5 minutes, nowhere near enough if he's going to prove himself.

There's only Burrow who does that. And that's because his instinct is to look for the gap for himself to exploit. McGuire looks to draw defenders in to make space for players to run off him.
People are always making excuses for Watkins. He's a liability at times. I think it was the run in & play offs in 2013 where he made mistake after mistake. Any other player would have been slaughtered but the excuses on here were that he MUST be carrying an injury. Well, he went on to play every minute of every game for England end of season 4 Nations.
If anybody came in with a decent offer I'd cash in

| For some reason, McDermott decided he wanted his two least mobile props on in the last ten minutes when we were chasing the game.
Although in Peacock's case, he probably decided he was going back on himself.

| Seriously, if you think that selling Watkins would in some way improve Leeds' chances, you're ready for the padded room.

The new marquee signing allowance has created opportunity. If there was the possibility of signing a quality centre from the NRL I'd definitely cash in. Perhaps not under any other circumstances.

Aiton start the rot - the number of forward passes he throws is getting silly and his attempt at a tackle on Millington was nothing short of laughable.
Burrow looks a spent force at this level - another two years seems a crazy decision based on what we are currently seeing
Agree re Keinhorst and Kylie - Handley needs a rest and some game time at a lower level whilst he gains a little more craft - once again he bombed another certain try. His drop at the end can happen to anyone it is part and parcel of developing young players.
Cas played well and were good value for their victory - the lack of depth in the squad showed tonight and Leeds need to improve and get some players back or the end of the season could be very tough.
The games against Saints and Wigan have huge importance in the standings prior to the split - finishing third will make getting to the GF tough.

To be fair to Aiton he does jump out of dummy half and try to draw in the markers. It could
be argued that it was Peacock who overran him twice.

To be fair, although I wouldn't cash in, he is poorly coached. Someone really needs to kick up his . He is a supremely gifted player, but with a poor attitude, and seems to believe his own hype. However, it is for a coach to get the best out of him.

Perhaps, if it was the first time he'd done it, but it's become a very bad habit, he gets pinged at least once a game, and to be honest it could be more.
