ha ha ha ! This week you had to play against 13 Super League players, not 12 Championship ones....and guess what....normal service is resumed LOOZERS !
oh dear Brian Mcdermott, you grumpy/whinging old man.

Brian McDermott...that is the ONLY reason that I have made my comment.

First & foremost the Health & well being of Oledzski is the priority from this game.
In terms of performance & result the scoreline says enough another woeful night in SL.

Oledski, Myler and Lilley all injured and out for next week at least by the looks of it.

Abysmal again. 1 out stuff. No shape. Kick returns dreadful. No go forward off any. More injuries. Looking forward to saints. At least we'll see some decent attack for a change

Hope Oledski is OK, looked pretty serious.

Injuries are killing us, we looked knackered and Im sure there's a few playing injured, we still had a good enough team out there to win but as soon as Myler went off we had no chance.

We just need to win enough to stay in the top 8 and write this season off, its all very well bagging the team and coaching staff but were not going to win many games when we can’t rotate the team during a game due to injuries and lack of subs.

Not sure what sort of side we are going to be able to put out next week but I fear a hammering is on the cards.

Oledzki, Lilley definitely joining the injury list. Myler may miss with concussion. Delaney once again his hamstring didn’t look in a good way. Ferres potentially banned. With no signs of anyone returning, things don’t look good.

Mullaly will be back, and Moon and Ablett could return according to BM

We are really struggling at the moment and it is hard to pick any positives out of that. Hope Oledski is ok, it's always a worry when a player is taken off with a neck injury, in those circumstances.
Lilley did his best but struggled physically to defend in the middle of the field. He was exposed far to often. Can only presume Parcell was not fit, so swapped defensive positions with Lilley. It needed changing much earlier.
There was a very short spell where we looked to be finding some fluency after Garbutt came on. He started to take us forward and Cuthbertson was able to do what he does best and start to offload. It's hard when we have so little grunt up front at the moment.
I think staying in the top 8 and hopefully getting some bodies back for the semi is about the best we can hope for this season. IMO they never stop trying though and deserve credit for that.

I blame the ref

Have been saying for weeks, this season is done, stick a fork in it.

Scraping 3 wins might be enough to grab 7th or 8th and give us 7 dead rubbers in the Super 8s. The whole season relies on getting bodies back and producing a one off semi final performance.

It was quite bizarre to hear talk in the pre game press conference about still making the top 4, we have absolutely no chance.

There is no doubt that injuries have destroyed the season, its the single biggest factor.

However, we have a 30 man squad like everyone else, and what injuries have actually done is expose the serious flaws in that squad. Such asRecruitment to replace legends running at about 20% success
Back row allowed to age together finally exposed
Only 1 half back of required standard in squad
Lack of attacking structure finally home to roost without Burrow/McGuire
Juniors stagnating when they reach 1st team
Ferres[/list

Cant take many positives out of that. Thought our middle was pathetic from minute 1 to 80. Soft. Kicking game absymal especially n first half. Dont think we competed for 1 kick in entire 1st half.

Our attack was, as always, so slow. Only Parcell offered anything at a different tempo to rest. So pedestrian and one paced its embarrassing. No dummy runners, no plan and no ideas.

Just an awful performance.

For positives i would say Parcell and Ward showed up tho Ward mades some errors late on and i thought Cam Smith showed some toughness in middle of park but its clutching at straws.

Injuries are clearly having an impact especially the injuries during the games but lets not make excuses for a poor mentality which i believe i saw tonight and believe ive not said that often about Leeds players in last 20 years.

One note on Mikolaj, a very similar incident occured a couple of years ago at Hull in the under 19s with him at the end of the game where he was down for 20 mins or so while medics got him on the stretcher. Lets hope hes ok and this sort of thing doesnt become a regular thing.

Juniors stagnating? That IMO is incredibly harsh. Handley is easily having his best season, Oledski is coming of age, Walker is only 18 and has shown some real class and Cameron Smith has gone OK.

Yes I think we needed to replace Galloway ASAP (who’s available though?) but we haven’t had a game with anything like our first chooce team out its not an excuse its a reason why weve struggled.
