Surely you are not comparing run of the mill league game with cup finals and semi's?

You are correct to talk of youngsters learning and time, but the comparisons you were making, those previous players were winning those same league matches, Infact winning by big margins in some cases.

Yes Walters made a mistake at Wakefield. But there were chances before that not taken by experienced players. I can't recall other than Wakey where a youngster has made the mistake that cost us either. I think it's the experienced guys who are coming up with uncharacteristic errors and making the failures.

That's the whole point, about tight games not big margins games. This same team strolled past Wakey twice this year.

When this Golden Generation were first hitting heights they drew 5 games in the 2003 & 2004 seasons. In the following 9 seasons Leeds drew 4 games altogether as those tight games became wins.



Yes like I said I wasn't trying to bag the guy but it's impossible to mention the Wakey defeat without mentioning the winning try and what was behind it.

I think Brian deserves a bit of criticism for tonight. Fancy resting so many players in a big local derby.

It was Bradford's last chance to put one over on Leeds for at least a year,maybe longer, and they took it.

However, any calls for McDermott's head would be harsh.

A bigger critisism would be once you get in front with limited time left, why the hell would you then sub Delaney.

Just one look at the bench tonight and jimmy and his bulls would have got all the motivation needed really.

Well I'm glad I spent 4 hours in the car on the m1 and a 150 mile round trip to watch that crap. Bradford were all but still managed to beat us

The kids at half time manned to hold onto the ball so why couldn't the professionals.
The worst thing was the lack of structure or organisation, and no real go to players who can come up with a big play.

We did make breaks but never had the pace to finishthem off

Our attack is dismal, we rarely see any set moves at scrums etc. The skill level in this squad needs improvement.

if we dont beat wolves next week (going into it on the back of 5 poor performances) McDermott should have to answer some questions. you dont pick a squad as thin as that to play the bulls. they showed what they can do when taken lightly last week, so what do we do? the exact same. the mind boggles

After the performance against bradford and London it is time to GO NOW

The week before the Cup final? That could only go well for us.

Best players, worst fans...

Don't blame the coach - blame the players that team should have been good enough
