The fact is we looked poor in defence and attack. Fact is we lost 36-6 (and were lucky not to concede more). Fact is we are a team without direction (and that isn't going to change without a decent SH). Fact is the players have had that much smoke blown up their backsides without actually proving anything. Fact is there are always fans that see through black and white glasses and aren't willing to accept reality.

But you hang in there, Im sure this season will be a special one for you, just lack the last and the one before that and the one before that .........

Houghton had a poor game, but he is usually a consistent performer. Plenty of the team didn't have their best of games.

Houghton's passing off the floor is terrible, that's why he doesn't generally do it. This makes him stand up and take a couple of steps which ultimately means our halves don't get enough time and space.

This slow / poor service from acting half has been the undoing of several recent average/good half backs. Seymour and now Holdsworth are the latest to be suffering from this. They need time and space to be creative; provide them with early, precise ball and watch them begin to have an impact on games.

Dummy halves are looking to engage the markers more & more, don't thing the ball gets passed off the floor very often now.

Leeds won the game in the first half hour, 60:40 possession and dominating field position in that period took its toll in the last 15-20 minutes.
