| Like a few others, I think, I find it hard to criticise Hastings too much, he has tried to carry this team on his own for too long. I certainly wish him well, and think he has been a great servant to the club. As fir the rest of them, after this dismal effort, who knows? Ordinary as Leeds were, as I said to a friend in the pub later, I'm damn sure Agar said to his team at half-time, don't worry, these guys are never going to score a try against you in a month of Sundays, just be patient, and the score will come. And so it proved.

I’m not sure the score would’ve come for Leeds had we picked a guy on the wing who can catch a high ball. If only we had one, one who has been playing week in week out for the last 6 weeks, one who has probably looked the safest catcher of a high ball I’ve seen come through since Rads, one who has been getting better and better but we mustn’t have one fitting that description and instead had to play a second rower at centre and move a lad who has been playing very well at centre on to the wing.
I’m not sure it made much difference but Lam refuses to help himself sometimes. It was a very very fitting way for him to finish his time here. He really should’ve ensured he had a full pack of juniors on at the end just to give him a cheap thrill before the off but I think he was a couple short.

He won’t be missed by the vast majority of the players and KR/IL will quite happily wave him off.

| I assume you;re talking about Halsall, NK, and I don't disagree at all. But at half-time, I didn;t think we'd score, and I fully expected Leeds to. Can you honesty say you felt any different?

Oh no, not at all. We wouldn’t have scored had we still been playing now with the lights off and the Leeds players tucked up in bed. I just don’t understand how Halsall doesn’t play tonight. He is absolutely unbelievable taking those high balls and it gave Leeds a way in as soon as he left him out. Lam is an absolute moron. Happy to have 6 junior forwards in his 17 and to move a second rower to centre to fit one more in but not happy to place trust in a young outside back, who has shown himself to be as trustworthy as they come. He’s been happy to flog Harry Smith all season, even though he’s clearly dying on his backside but drops a kid who looks ice cool under pressure and would’ve been playing on a less pressurised position.

| Of course I agree; it's bizarre, He's flogged Smith (and Shorrocks, especially, and a few others), but a lad comes into the side, holds up brilliantly under the high ball, and ,,, goodbye?

| Low scoring game but the gap in quality between the game and the razor close penrith v eels game last week was night and day.
The game currently does nothing to encourage the hard-core to watch let alone a casual sports fan flicking the channels.
I've missed so many super League games this year due to the quality of on display. It's mediocre and the standard is getting worse year on year.

| A fitting end to Lam’s tenure as coach an absolute snore fest.
