Well, the facts don't lie. 11th in 2008, 12th in 2009 and now knocked out in the first round of the challenge cup 2 years running to sides below us in the league.
We have a squad capable, but not a coach to match.

Plus with:
Calderwood
Yeaman
Long
Berrigan
Tickle
Radford
O'Meley

on the sidelines, here's Agar's injury card excuse yet again.

his coming out all guns blazing is like watching paint dry

what if we all have a whip round to pay him off.

lets hope they used the pen with the magic ink on the contract

He cannot use injuries as an excuse any more. Yes we have players out but if a coach cannot pick his form players then there really is no hope.

Any coach worth his salt would have looked at the leeds game and saw Moa had a cracking game, and Dowes was awful at best with missed tackles and little go forward. Yet our coach persisted in playing Cusack/Dowes/Radford and drops one of the better players the week before not only from the starting 13 but from the 17.

We Gunna pick usselves up,we did it tough.were busted.
God the mans BORING!!!

Got to admit I am struggling to defend him...

In my defence I wanted Nobby

zZzZz yawn yawn yawn lets blame the coach coz the players were poor...simple as.

And who coaches them?? This has been going on since he took charge......

I don't understand what people would have done differently today other than play Moa. Turner has been very average in the halves the last 2 weeks and Washy rightly started at HB. We lost because our forwards lost the battle, let Leeds play the ball quickly and didn't wrap up players. Is it the coaches fault our forwards can't wrap a player up? Do you expect a coach at this level to have to teach players how to do that? Is it the coaches fault we give away unforced errors and very stupid penalties?

Don't feel too bad.

Leeds have become very good at winning the big games in recent seasons and although this was CC and not playoffs, they've made no secret of their desire to improve their CC record.

Leeds have more class throughout their team and are a much more settled unit than hull, if leeds turned up there was always only ever going to be one winner.

Did the players pick a halfback pairing that has failed to produce each and every time they have played??

Did the players drop one of the best layers from the previous week???

If they did then fair enough blame the players.

No, they dropped the ball, fell off tackles and didn't wrap up players which is far more important to the game.
