Roberts is only 21 but he looked poor, martin isn't a centre but we've not much choice with the injuries. Olpherts is just awful, and the NRL can have Bentley now.
I didn’t think Roberts played that bad but to be fair i was so high up in the stands I couldn’t really tell, im not watching it back to find out

I`m not convinced with Smith but I do think he will last the season mainly on the basis that with injuries to Newman, Simpson, Sezer, Gannon, Lisone and Tetavano and more recently Holroyd. Not many coaches would get a lot of those players remaining in the squad. Roberts and Olpherts below average, Hooley played one game and MacDonald slightly above average along with Lisone and Sangare. No real quality in our team or the players he has brought in.
I was looking for Dr Evil when the Fembots appeared & smoke started coming out of their jubblies.
They tried to work their mojo on me but I countered with my mojo & we got cross-mojonation.
And I ended up here in my pants.

I still think we can get into the playoffs but with our injuries it’s starting to look like a tough ask.
Smith won’t be going this year (rightly IMO), sorry to disappoint some in here.
We may still make the playoffs but I doubt it with the low level of so many performances.
Wire, cats, Wigan and Saints will be in, can we catch Salford and Leigh and get past HKR? Not playing like we do away from home most games.
Smith looked a worried man near the end, like a rabbit in the headlights and he is under pressure now. He’s signed a number of players who are not good enough, our last captain has walked out and he can’t persuade young players to stay(I’m not convinced about Walters or Tindall but fact is we offered deals and Both are leaving).
He can’t seem to arrest entire halves of abysmal, error strewn, brain dead play.

If we make the play offs the game needs to scrap the play off system. I like the grand final but it has killed the CC and for a team like Leeds with no attacking structure whatsoever to make the play offs would be embarrassing. Smith has 3 games into next season for me. If we're still this bad we need a change.

Going into the game I suspected it was no better than a 50 - 50 given the amount of players we had out (before Holroyd's late withdrawal) and the massive improvement any game against Leeds brings out of Cas. But boy that was dreadful! 13 minutes to defend a 10 point lead against a poor team and we couldn't summon the professionalism to do it. I would have taken an ugly win this week, but were not good enough to manage even that. Come on, Rohan - sort it out.
We're not getting into the playoffs this year and nor do we deserve to. 14 games in and still producing dross like tonight irrespective of injuries is not acceptable and very worrying.
