Laurent Frayssinous and Craig Sandercock are favourites to get the sack for me I would also put Noble in the mix too if Salford get a bad run of results.

The HullKR coach was proclaiming before the season started that this is their best squad in SL, he may regret those words

tbf, i think that was hudgells' and mike smiths' claim

Gary Hetherington says the same thing every season at Leeds.

Whether such proclamations improve season ticket sales is anyone's guess. Can't harm them I suppose.

Apart from being a marketing stunt, such proclamations are not to be taken too seriously by anyone.

Yes but Leeds can at least back it up with onfield performances!

They don't appear very motivated at the moment.

Careful what you wish for KK !

Dragons are a real mystery.

Although to be fair with the WC and tough first 8 fixtures I was always worrying.

What's that old saying? Players win games but managers lose them

My thoughts were that he looked at the ridiculous first run of games we had and thought. Most of them are going to be defeats so I will let me players from the WC rest and have a steadier pre-season.

He may have thought we'd have enough to get past Cas and Wakey, whilst running Leeds close and then the players would have worked there way in and be fresher as the season goes on (bearing in mind we ran out of fuel in the play offs last season).

It's backfired spectacularly if that was the strategy.

You can't legislate for the amount of injuries that has happened, but they could have managed the ill discipline which has shorn the team of Elima et al.

I worry for Laurent now to be honest.

We have plenty of heartland teams who arent quite good, and even more who are nowhere near quite good.

Les Catalans are a better run club than many current SL clubs, they arent close to being the worst of what he already have, nevermind keeping better out.
