Outstanding- we need answers to all these questions

| You can buy all of the players you want to, but the one thing you can't buy is TEAM SPIRIT. That is what is missing, and has been missing for most of the season. If they are not careful, we won't even be in the MPG...or maybe they know there will be no relegation this season. I don't know but something is amiss.

| Amazingly bad yesterday. Brilliantly effective against Catalans, a 2 week rest - then they go and produce the worst display in a long time.
Plan A went out the window just 5 mins in when Mortimer went off. Plan B was nowhere to be seen.
Higham was asked to do too many minutes.
I could go on...

You've also got a player at tribunal today or tomorrow, not to mention the player brawling with Cooky at training, perhaps you need to look beyond the players Harold.

| Quote Alan="Alan"I agree Harold. We really need two wins, to ensure an appearance in the MPG. If we play like we did against Catalans and Salford, that shouldn't be a problem, but if we play like we did yesterday, or against Hull KR, (i.e. if we allow them to dictate the game) I can't see where those two wins are going to come from.
I agree with 'Harry Stottle' about our 'ageing' players, and that's why the return of Maria is a must for me. The selection of Pelissier (or Hood) and Higson (and maybe even Hampshire) should provide a desperately needed boost in energy and enthusiasm levels'"
Don't think we'll see Higson again this season, believe he was due to play but circumstances dictated otherwise

??? That's cryptic - and yet another shame. We need all the bodies and energy we can muster for the last three (four?) games. There has been too much 'non-availability' for my liking

It seems all control has been lost, seriously considering whether I want to go to another game until there is evidence of sanity in the place.

I was angry enough at the end of the game, but Harold you have got me really worried for our future in SL. I know from your past posts that what you write on here is usually accurate. As I have stated in my earlier post on this thread, I saw most of the players walk off the pitch without acknowledging the fans. It struck me as both odd and disrespectful. You sensed that there was something else wrong amongst some of the players by them doing this, but at the time I couldn't be sure. What you have posted makes some sense of all this. Things need to be put right quickly, but after watching Neil Jukes' press conference a couple of times on LCTV he strikes me as a despondent man and the stress is starting to show. He contradicts himself by saying that he was nervous before the game, but the preparation was immaculate, and then he says he was confident, all in one or two sentences. I couldn't understand why he should be nervous after the immaculate preparation. When asked about the booing from the fans he clearly gets agitated and defensive. He's basically saying that he knows how much work is being done by the players and staff, and that the spectators don't. I should hope so too. Neil saw what we all saw during that game yesterday. So does Neil think that the best part of 5000 Leythers are wrong by doing this? Those that did boo were right to do so in my opinion, based on that performance. I hope that if there are any issues behind the scenes at the club that they can be put right ahead of the Wire game.

The fact that there are so many people that you could fall out with doesn't help!

It must be the players fault that all this alleged disruption is happening as players don't get picked....
But the coaches still coach
