Disappointed as always to lose, one we should've won, all we had to do was defend the set from the scrum but that Handley carry killed us. But in reality we should've been out of site by then anyway, the Ashworth offload and the 3 or 4 repeat sets we had in Leeds 20 in the second half kept us in touchingdistance.
Do think the spine needs some tweaking. I'd bring Moy in at 1, Pryce to 6 and move Cust to 14.
I wouldn't be renewing Ashworth either, especially if we get quota exemptions around Bell and Sao. Didn't think he was great even without the offload.
Just on the season as a whole, we're starting to see us drop down the league to a more realistic position. Most had us down 8/9th before a ball was kicked. We seem to be a team who is trying but we're low on quality and game breakers, which is hurting us. Effort will only get us so far

Ashworth definitely cost us in the first half. But to be fair to the kid was instrumental in getting the Leeds player pushed back and tackled in goal straight after HF which lead to our try ... At 16/4 up we can't put all the blame on him. I'd get him signed up ...Big lad runs his weight and always gives is all.....Sport is fine margins . We make that last tackle and we be all celebrating a good win. Definitely not having any Second rowers is hurting us as we have no running threat out wide ... . Maybe worth trying Ashworth there again ?

I just don't see it with Ashworth tbh. I might be on my own but I'd let him go. As frustrating as Friday was, I'm not down in the dumps yet. We've got some favourable fixtures coming up over the next 2 months |

Think we can all see just how weak we are in the second row and centre
I also think we should move Pryce to six which is where i see him playing next season and try to find a quality full back with pace and who can tackle for next season.
This would allow Cust to move to nine and give us a running threat from dummy half
Chamberlain is just too bang average for the second row but we need to move Hardaker back to centre.
Will get some criticism for saying this but just dont see anything in Litten as a centre.
Now Fash is back i would play him and Ashworth in the second row until we get Cartwright back.Hardly exciting but offers a bit more go forward.
I think we need to give Litten a chance. He's done OK since coming back from serious injury. Showed that bit of magic albeit with a touch of fortune at Warrington and a great pass to Martin at Magic. He's got a lot to learn but has vastly experienced players like Briscoe, Hardaker and Rapana to mentor him. He's got a decent frame on him, actually bigger than Hardaker. People wrote Jez Litten off and letting him go came back to bite us on the backside. Dont think the club wrote off Jez Litten.He was offered a contract but chose to leave for more game time.Think he was 19 at the time. Davy Litten is now 22.Young but nowadays not classed as a rookie. We all have our opinions on players.Several on here saying they wouldnt extend a contract for Ashworth when the majority would. I am all for giving Litten a chance which he is now getting but would he be in the side if we had two decent centres at the club? I hope i am wrong but having seen him at full back and now in the centre i just dont see anything exciting in him and maybe its his running style but dont see any real pace there.

I think Litten has had a fairly good start to the year, big threat in the air, makes metres, tackle busts are fairly high and I'd say his defence has improved too. Thought he did a good job on Newman and if anything looked the better centre.
He is also back from a serious injury and playing a fairly new position.
Think he will make a good centre, needs to keep playing there. Think we have bigger short and long term concerns.

If we can keep Eseh and one of Knight or Sao, I'd release Ashworth. Knight/ Sao and Hill, with the 4th prop from Eseh, Fash or Aydin. I'd love us to get Harrison, but just can't see that happening. No quota change, then I think we have to keep Ashworth I just don't see it with Ashworth tbh. I might be on my own but I'd let him go.

I think Litten has done ok since he's come back , He doesn't really look out of place in the centres .

| number 6:
need to get Hardaker back at centre, Rapana wont play next week at Leigh, Kirby to come in to cover second row with Fash and Chamberlain.
Kirkby, Fash and Chamberlain, weakest ever second row we've had in SL? |

Aydin is a tireless defender, but unfortunately doesn't make much yardage, similar to Lane . IF Ashworth can curb his brain farts, I'd keep him..
