Chris & Ligi = 333 metres
The rest of our pack including subs = 315 metres

Disgraceful

Bowden shouldn't play again this season. He just doesn't look interested. 4 carries says it all.

Not only is Fonua not making anywhere near enough impact for a Marquee player he is also a penalty machine.
Those 2 attempts to strip the ball cost us the equivalent of how many metres he made in the whole match. He does it too often and yet the coaches haven't stopped him. WHY?
I really really liked Mahe when he was here last but he's unfit and both him and the coaching staff are to blame.
There is no way he should be so unfit. It's almost beyond belief that it's allowed. BH should say he has 2 weeks to trim down and speed up and STOP the stupid penalties.
Re Jamie Shaul - well he was the FB for many years when we had the worst D in Club history. He's a great attacker and as you know I really like the kid. He's better on the wing I reckon where he doesn't have to make last-ditch tackles against big forwards etc
Watch some of the tries scored against us from 17-19 and you'll see what I mean.
GREAT player just not a FB for defensive reasons. I'd bulk him up more and get him on the wing or let him go to Wakefield.

Jake is the X factor and we are really MISSING him. Jake is the 6 we need and I wonder if Josh R can go home at the end of the season?

The guy is a absolute waste of space and has been for the past 2 seasons. I’m struggling to think of a worse prop in the league who constantly gets selected week in week out. There must be somebody in the Championship we could take a punt on, at least they would show some enthusiasm you’d like to think.

Hard to know where to start with that one, very painful to watch with so many errors across the park.

I see others got echoes of the ghost of Radders last night as well, five drives and a kick, very little on the edges. Good play for the first try but no concessions allowed for that given the sheer volume of possession we had in their red zone.

I'd like to see Fonua dropped after that performance, thought his errors, decision making and performance in general were that of a headless chicken (a completely unfit one), that being said, who could we bring in at centre? Scott is worse and I have seen little to suggest that he will ever be a Super League standard centre.

Confidence is severely lacking, this placid approach from Hodgson doesn't appear to be motivating the players and something will have to give. We badly miss Connor and Griffin on the edges and as for Monday I don't know what will be more depressing: the score or the attendance because that showing last night will certainly have scared a fair few off (and rightly so).

It was a high 9k, close to 10 I think.

It's a close run thing between Tony Clubb and Bowden.

Brown should come straight in for Bowden.

Taylor will be back soon too.

A few should be dropped luckily for them we don't have the cover, I'd drop

Fonua (Scott)
Bowden (Brown)
Johnstone (McNamara)

Hodgson has to take some of the blame for his bench selection and use.

Agreed I know Brown has a mistake and penalty inim, but its criminal that Bowden gets picked before him.

Brad Dwyer is decent, but not a world beater.

The fact he looked as good as he did tells you all you need to know about the standard of our performance (and probably the standard of super league generally).

To give Leeds credit though, they were far quicker in thought and in deed. We were so slow and ponderous it was simple to defend against. The times players had to reach behind for a pass (and in turn slowing the speed of the play) was ridiculous. Just basics.
I’d dread to think what would have happened without Sataes and Saos metres.

Interchange needs a rethink. You’re purposely playing with 16 players when you bring a player on for the first time with a minute left. Use Cator as interchange hooker and put Jack Brown on the bench.

Still think teams have a DNA in how they play. Our muscle memory reverted to the last few years in how we played last night.

Some good posts and most of us seem to agree.

I just hope Hodgson can see it, under Radford some players were untouchable, I was hoping this wouldn't happen with Hodgson.

Satae and Sao have got to be split up, we can’t carry on having this level of drop off when we have to start making changes.

Satae/Fash starting with Sao/Brown on the bench would be my preference.

Brown makes more metres and has an offload.

The comparison is night and day as to which one is the better player

You just know that on our tip sheet near the top will have been staying alert of Dwyer on our goal line and you have Fonua coming up with another of his brain explosions letting him go in untouched basically.

Fonua should get a try assist for that one.

To be fair to the left edge, Bureta was nearly our man of the match, and he only had limited involvement.
