| Quote: FearTheVee "That post match interview was embarrassing.
Funny how the fittest and hardest working teams always seem to be “offside” isn’t it and only the losing side ever honour the 10m.
Smith doesn’t coach RL that can consistently beat good teams. Claiming some sort of imaginary RL purist high ground as a defence of your own deficiencies is not tackling the issues.
Ps you would have to hope Frawley will be better when he settles and the weather shapes up as he looks absolutely terrible.'"
Maybe Ackers and Miller should have thrown their arms in the air at every play the ball and Leeds may have had a set restart?
Just a thought.

You’ll get on just swell with Rohan.

Someone must have left Thomas the tank's GPS running when he left then re-entered the field following his sin binning.

| Quote: batleyrhino "Then that’s a problem. Did he sign 2 &1/2 or 3 & 1/2 years? If we don’t seriously improve this year, then he needs to be gone at the end of it. If we look like missing out on the playoffs at any point, he needs to be gone before the end of the year. GH has now spent too much money to be dicking about waiting for something that will never come.'"
His contract is till the end of next year. Thursday's game at Cas is huge for him. They will have players back and, as always, it will be their cup final. We also need to treat it that way. No excuses, no complaining about the ref. Nothing less than a good hard performance and a convincing win is required.

The penalty against Momirovski was embarrassing, but not a surprise with him. Also, I see they’ve quickly changed their own new rules on 'high' tackles.
Other than that, yep, Leeds are terrible yet again.

The one in the corner? Thought that was for Newman jumping in after the tackle was complete.

Totally true , the ref was brainwashed by Saints and we have a lot of bad history with him , some would call him unconsciously biased , but none of that takes away the fact that Saints have better players than us and have over the last few years been better coached .If Saints do get a bad call or deliberately give a 6 again or a penalty away they can cope with it far better than us

| There is absolutely no evidence that the team under Smith is progressing to be consistent top 4 side. The style he wants to play is one that gets an occasional one off performance (as it even did last season) or it looks chaotic and when that's not happening it becomes one dimensional and passive. Smith is not the long term answer.
This Is exactly why I my excitement over the long range trys in the early rounds was tempered because they're not really worth much when much of the rest of the play is below the standard required.

| Quote: Swoggy Loiner "And again I’ll reiterate, it’s a shame the so called enforcer that is Oledzki doesn’t get stuck into them like Bentley. The lad’s in a no win situation with Leeds fans, and it’s become quite boring to say the least.
I do wonder how many people who slag him off on here constantly have actually ever played the game.
Each to their own though as you say'"
So if I disagree with you it’s just because you know better?
Maybe you’re a better and more experienced player than Sam Tomkins too right?

| Why can't people understand , Bentley is an all action grafter/tackler , he does not break the line as he is not big enough or fast enough and he is certainly not going to be an intelligent player , put him in the Saints team and he is fantastic unfortunately in our team we do not have the players to compliment his style . If we had bigger , faster forwards then he would be seen as a key cog

| Saints are better than us man for man in every position and we haven't beaten them since 2017 at home & apparently the coach needs sacking. Smith will, at minimum, see out his contract and probably get an extension even if we finish 6th this year and next. We won't improve until we replace most of our forward pack.

There were a few iffy calls but nothing too mega: we’ve conceded a few unlucky tries (as RS alluded to); but the point is we’re at risk of conceding them because we’re defending our own red zone too much.

And yet Saints let him go to us and haven’t exactly fallen apart without him have they?
It’s not that I can’t see what he brings, and I thought he played well last week. I just don’t think he’s as good as you do.
