Looks like Sutcliffe will play in the back row according to Agar’s presser (which I thought he came across well in actually and it was clear he thinks lack of overall effort is a major factor in our recent performances)

Hasn’t decided on who will partner Myler, I have an inclination we’ll see McLelland at 6 and Golding at 1, which I would be happy with, Golding deserves a shot IMO as he’s dealt with being left out all season very professionally and at least he may show some pride in the jersey.

It’s a very interesting game, getting dumped out of the CC by a championship side could be a bit of a kick start and if they players can’t show some effort especially with it being a big occasion for the club then they are worse than I thought

Got to say I was very impressed by Agars press conference. Hope the team translate that to a performance tomorrow.

Quite surprised me actually, and with a distinct lack of the word ‘there’

I might end up wrong, but I can’t see any way of Golding breaking into this team, regardless how poop it is. He simply isn’t good enough, and his performances at Fev have not shown anything different. That is why they are reluctant to pick him.

I hate how coaches talk. All riddles and repeat phrases, you know?

I like the fact he called the team out - politely - for lack of effort. Surely in pro RL there can be no greater insult?

With United losing, at least the Cas fans will be feeling as low as we do because, as we all know, they all hate Leeds. Except when they play with a round ball.

I don't hate Leeds. I hate cheating Wigan. Leeds are just another team trying to avoid relegation these days.

Things are getting bad now when weve sunk to the status of Cas fans not hating us

Its been a bad week for Leeds fans both sides of the city. All I need now is for Cas to give us a thumping to top it all off !!

Me neither. I watch them more than any other team due to circumstances.

Leeds are great entertainment. How can anyone hate that?

Being hated is what the haters Aspire to

Definitely something in that. When we were relegated (twice) it was comforting that we are still hated by factions from Wakefield, Halifax and Keighley.

When you become irrelevant or even worse get sympathy from former rivals it shows how far you've fallen.
