Hoping this game will be close enough to be exciting after the last couple. Could be a case of can our makeshift back line hold there own,and conversely can our pack subdue the Rhinos who are missing quite a few. Lisone still there though and we need to have learnt a lesson from our last meeting,he’s some unit coming off the bench. Bookies calling it an 18 point game,hoping it will be closer.

Hoping we get something out of the game. Had a few hours sleep after getting back from the airport so a good crowd to wake me up would help too 😂

How easy was that first try. About 10 missed tackles. 10 minutes gone, and we have not been out of our half yet. 60-0?

From the off no energy,no enthusiasm,nothing. Honestly it’s embarrassing.

It will not be 60 -0, it will be 80-0.

We need a massive end of season clear out. Of the players on the pitch for us today, 3 are Sl standard in Asi, Mellor & Lawler. The rest would struggle to get in the top Championship teams.

stuey Pretty much, I’ve seen some poor performances in my time,one against Warrington springs to mind but in terms of effort,attitude,skill and application this one takes biscuit. Unless rock bottom has a basement we’ve reached our destination.

Matt

Well I left. Already tired and couldn’t watch anymore of that performance.

My 2 daughters left before half time, with many many others.

I left at half time. The first time I’ve ever done that. I was already tired enough and there was no chance I could sit through another 40 watching Leeds run riot. After seeing the final result I’m glad I walked when I did.

Hepworth

Can’t help but think telling half the squad they’re not going to have a job next year a couple of months before the end of the season is maybe not the best motivational tool ever employed. Telling them they’re playing for a contract,dangling the carrot is one thing,saying no matter what you do you’re off is another. No wonder most of them looked like they couldn’t be arsed. And by the same token having someone who clearly doesn’t want to be coach by his own admission doing the job is hardly clever. As for our much vaunted defence coach I’m not at all sure what he’s doing.

Hepworth

Can’t blame you,after a four hour drive I think I put more effort in than the team and it was only getting out of the car park that kept me to the end,you obviously didn’t miss much and we should be grateful Hull didn’t put the hammer down the last fifteen minutes or it would have been a cricket score. I was at the Saints game when they put seventy past us,that was bad enough but that was as much down to a superb Saints performance as our ineptitude,somehow this feels worse,I think because of the lack of effort and fight,55 missed tackles says it all and while Leeds who were missing the majority of their starting pack are decent they’re not work beaters.

It was pretty painful yesterday. But we move on.

yorky

certainly a low point, not sure when the changes will start, but surely this cant go on for whats left of this season, how the club change it is anyones guess

Maturecasfan

I think half the squad know they weren’t be there next year. Mental they’ve put the cue on the stand and given up.
The next 5 games, like the last ¾ means nothing to them. They are just going through the motions.
Shows them up of being so unprofessional, which will be noted by any suitors who will be looking at them for next year.
Be interesting to note exactly which clubs will come in for the leavers.

Hepworth

I’ve stood on many a touchline in my time watching a couple of amateur teams battling it out and loved it,I watched the great Meninga and the invincible Aussie touring team showing us how to play the game,loved that too. Thoroughly enjoyed Wigan and KR giving it their all on Friday night.Yesterday within the first 10 minutes you knew we weren’t at it,flat,passionless and depressing which is how I felt at the final whistle. So sod it, on to York to watch Macca strut his stuff,playing with pride,purring like a Rolls Royce,conducting the orchestra and as always giving it 100%. Something to reaffirm my love of the game.

From serious about RL

"Asked in his post-match press conference how many of Saturday’s team he expects to be at the club next year, Chester said: “Probably about eight-10, if I get my own way. I want people here who are going to fight for everything and work hard.”

as many as 8-10? More like 3 of that team still at the club next season Mellor, Lawler & Asi.

Add Hoy, Rooney & Quarequare and the rest can all go.

A bit unfair on Windley and Robb but the rest I agree with

Hepworth

Unfortunately some of them will still have contracts and after that performance can’t imagine there’ll be queue forming for thei services. Might be a few we’d have to pay to get them off the books.

RaoulDuke

I’ve been looking at the players in contract and paying them off is expensive. Mr Jepson had already said we’ll be spending the full cap next year. Add to that getting rid of the Deadwood, it’ll be full salary cap and what would have been a marquee player or 2.

I agree we need a cleaner slate but this has to be with the new head coach having an opinion. He might see a player in some of the ones we don’t.

So we might have to wait for the marquee players unless we bring in more financial backers IMO.

Forgot about the 2 youngsters, and agree.
It will be interesting which 8-10 players, Chester hopes to keep, as I fail to see anywhere near 8 to 10. that are good enough for SL.

stuey
Simbiken and Horne will be among the keepers I just hope the new coach can sort out their tackling techniques or at least get them off of Paul Cullens radar

Lawler, Hoy, Rooney, Quarequare, Windley, Mellor, Stimson, I Senior & Asi and the two above, thats 11 of the buggers

and a few triers that will improve with a decent coach Cini, Wood, Matvejev, Djeukessi, Hill, Tate, L senior

Trying my best to be positive here

CTID

Matt

For me:

Qareqare
Cini (Only just)
Asi
Lawler
Westerman
Rooney
Stimson
Hoy (Backup depending on signings)

Gives 8 players. Windley and Robb make 10.

Maturecasfan

Imo westerman is done.
I’d reluctantly let him go, or move him into a coaching roll if we get rid of some of the other coaches.

yorky

please not Westerman, it would just be another Andy lynch, let him retire or drop into the championship

Hepworth

Whichever way we go I would have thought 2 or 3 spaces would be being held back for the new coach, and if he were someone involved in the NRL currently I dare say they’d be quota spots. Obviously we’ve got extra now which is important. Simbiken is ooc and has something to be proved before the end of the season and the jungle drums at York are saying Horne would be a good fit were they to be promoted.
