Please tell me he didn't say "....we know where we went wrong....working on it...looking forward to putting it right on friday...., etc, etc..."

I couldn't tell you, the moment he started talking I fell asleep.....

No problems. Continue to watch a 2nd rate team. Teams on the down need supporters like you [seriously - I know, I've been there].

Where? Odsal? Are you one of the 100 or so that travel over then?

Part of me feels sorry for Macca, because he has once again been badly let down by his players. But he has recruited those players and it is his job to instil the mental toughness needed to win matches from various scenarios. I'm afraid the interview didn't really inspire confidence that things can change for next week.

I'd like to see Deacon dropped but who else can we play there? Perhaps if Solomona is back we could look at moving Menzies to 6 and Jeffries to 7. Deacon is doing very little right now other than throw the odd hospital pass and missing far too many tackles. I'd go for the following team for Leeds:

Platt (despite todays blunder he has been playing well)
Halley
Sykes
Nero
Tadulala
Menzies
Jeffries
Burgess
Newton
Lynch
Solomona
Cook
Langley

Worrincey
Koppy
Scruton
Crossley/Donaldson/Whitehead/Hyde

Let's give one of the young guys a go. Ok Leeds at home isn't the ideal time to blood a young un but I don't see the benefit of having an out and out winger on the bench. I assume Crossley is fit, in which case I'd give him a chance to make a name for himself. Quite often a young player actually makes his name is such high profile games.

FFS i fell asleep at half time put teletext on and thought FM useless bug@ers are those idiots at teletext , then i came on RLFans .....
I stand corrected


did the mystic 1 see this coming?

We need to do something until Deacon can sort his defence out. If not Leeds big men will run at Deacon all night long and score tries for fun. He's had plenty of games to find some form and has offered nothing, time to make a bold change to shake things up a little.

I've just had a thought....
...what odds would you have got on Catalans to win at half time?
Mmmmm...

The first half was more to do with their poor defense than our quality attack, vica versa in the second half. That neither team could halt the momentum of the other and it was just a case of who made better use of that momentum. That really terrifies me for next week as Leeds are guaranteed to capitalise on 70%+ of their opportunities and there'll be nothing we can do to slow them down.

A 50+ score line is on the cards

If Catalans can get 40, then Leeds can get double. It's going to be a long night.
