What the bloody hell has happened to our forwards? At the begining of the season the forwards were battering the opposition by being quick off the line and putting in big shots-they were hungry. The last month or two the forwards tempo has dropped massively. The hunger has gone and we are losing yards. Also, though Ridyard had a shocker tonight lets hope he gets back to his normal form which has bin excellent. Also, Millward would be brain dead to stay at this club and reject a super league offer. Not a happy leyther tonight

too many injuries and they battered us.

Millward job was getting us to the cup final hopefully tick the box and for him that's job done! Now we're up pooh creek aren't we!!!

moving forward where exactly? The way we are playing that tick will not be entering our box. Another 3 years of this league (maybe more) the club will only go downhill. Nobody wants to pay £15+ to watch us for another 3 years at least in this league. The crowds will fall massively

Progress from last season?? Give us a break!! That would not be hard would it! Yes we've played well early in season but that was our big chance if our box being ticked! Hate to say it but just watch those attendences start to drop now!

Exactly who in their right mind would pay £16 to watch that for at least another 3 years? We have blown it big style

We all keep talking about 'ticking the box' do you really think if we won tonite and went on to win in Blackpool that we would be in superleague.
Its a closed shop it will be decided well before any boxes are ticked....

tonite was garbage if i was IM i would take the 1st super league job i could

Since the Fev game the ruthlessness in defence has just evaporated. The players' body language has taken a nose dive and the team spirit has ebbed away. The Fax game in particular was bizarre.

In attack we looked like the beginning of the season - like nothing would click when we did try something but for most of the time with not enough options.

Batley were fantastic in defence and their 6 and 7 ran the show in attack.

The questions I have are 1) how do they afford such a good side on their crowds and 2) how do you go from having the 2nd meanest defence to the 2nd weakest in a matter of weeks?

One explanation for all of the above is that the players already know Millward's on his way. If he's not, then we needn't worry about losing him because there won't be too many SL clubs lining him up until we see some drastic improvements.

We look very one dimensional and people have figured out our game plan from what I can gather. If Mike Morrison isn't injured I'm very surprised he didn't play as he makes great yards and runs the ball hard and straight. I still don't think Bibey punches his weight, makes very few yards and while he's good with ball in hand that's not really his game.

Need to come up with some new ideas because our attack is suffering from a lack of creativity. Big kudos to Robbie Paul for coming back early though, at least he stood up and I thought that was brilliant.

As for IM taking the next SL job, he's coaching our players so it can't have just been all him when we were doing well and now it's the players when we're doing badly. He's as much to blame as they are in my opinion because we're so one dimensional in attack.

since the rumours started 4 or 5 weeks ago about millward going to bradford our form has nose dived.just look at the super league coaches that are leaving their clubs at the end of the season and those teams are not playing up to last years standards either.no pace no heart and no idea tonight.batley where superb good luck to them in the final.

ITS BEEN LIKE WATCHING LEYTH LAST YEAR THIS PAST MONTH.......
NO PACE--NO IDEA---WATCH THE CROWDS DROP OFF AFTER THAT DISPLAY
PEOPLE WONT PAY GOOD MONEY TO WATCH A VERY POOR STANDARD OF RL
FACT NOT FICTION

Well if he really is on his way I wish he'd just go and not ask for any more money. Any leader on limited and known time limits is no leader at all.

sorry but do yous really think you had a chance of gettin a sl licence?! it would be farcical considering you got relegated last year and only came back up because of gateshead goin into administration!

also how can you have a go at millward :/ he has brought you a mile this year..you are fighting at the top of the league for goodness sake
