Not the best of starts

4-0 to Crusaders at half time.

From what I've picked up it sounds like we are back to our usual $hit standards this season.

Cas are 8-4 up against Salford at present, if they keep that up and we don't recover, we go to 7th, with Cas still having a game in hand, even if it is against Wigan.

Don't worry though, our front row have been outstanding this season...

6-0 Crusaders now.

Sign them all up for next year

God alone knows why we sign the players we do these days? I honestly think I have more chance of winning the lottery, than working that one out...

We are doing a revie with the team getting old together

Reading the twitter commentary is painful. Dropped ball after dropped ball from us tonight.

McDermott has included all Leeds’ International Origin match players in his initial 19 and is confident they can handle a third game in the space of a week.

“We are monitoring them and adjusting what we do with them accordingly,” he reported.

“We are very aware of where they have been, but if you look in their eyes, they are all keen and bright-eyed.

“They might have been a bit dusty on Monday and Tuesday, but they will be right come game time."

Top coaching Brian...

McGuire try under the post.

6-6

6-6

What's the betting that if we don't get 2 points out of this game then it will be "spun" as a great example of a league that is levelling out rather than anything to do with a poor Leeds performance.

He's right - there's no need to assess them in training, just look at their eyes.

7-6 crusaders

Just like we are doing the future of British RL a good turn by having a british coach learning his trade. Sorry Gary, no other club is bothered about british RL and developing coaches so why at Leeds?

I wanted Leeds to lose (looks like we are at this point by 7-6).....things must be bad. Sad to say I think despite our severe inadequancies Mr Switchcorn is right...we will still finish 5th and claim continued credibility.

7 12 lautiti

12-7

Ali try, Sinfield goal.

But wanting your club to lose is wrong - eventhough i get where you are coming from. Gary H wont get rid but sorry the once proud Rhinos are a joke this season, why cant the board seeing something aint right

Did we just beat the bottom team in the league by 5 points? Well done us.

And I can say for certain without having seen the game that ALL OUR FRONT-ROWERS CONTINUED THEIR OUTSTANDING FORM.

The same bottom team that ran Catalans close in France last week.

Does sound an awful performance from us tonight but at least we won.

Awful performance from Leeds and they were there for the taking, however Thaler had other ideas. I think Mr child's has a friend running the touchline with him next week.

Where did Batley go? I can sense his dissapointment that we won.........

I suspect he'll be celebrating the consistent fashion in which Leeds have dealt with the Crusaders this season.
