It’s simply not good enough for a club of our stature. We’ve gone backwards this year big time

Need to draw a line under it. Don’t let it ruin people’s weekends.
I’ve played and watched sport my whole life and I’m 42 now. Far more disappointments than achievements in both amateur and professional sport.
Leeds will come good again. May take another few years, but will definitely happen. Keep the faith!

Perfectly put Seth

Marvin Golden was nowhere near Olpherts standard

Olpherts is Joe Vickery bad.

Interesting comment from Smith when interviewed.
Saying we have been narrowly beat in a few games but it is a result based competition or words to that effect.
Maybe he knows that he is now on thin ice losing 5 out of the last 6 regardless of us losing narrowly.

You've been right about him all along, Batley. Fair play. He's a genuine liability.

Good day out up in Newcastle, kids were flag bearers so enjoyed it regardless.

Can’t even be ar$ed to get into the performance but Olpherts was a disgrace in every department. Not alone I know, but he should never wear a Leeds jumper again.

Rohan out of his depth, sooner he’s gone the better for me.

For me that was a selection loss. We select Handley on the wing Hooley at FB; or Tindall wing and I think we win that game.

One thing that triggers me is rubbish defence and both edges were really fragile at times.

Oledski had his best game for a while though and McDonnell continues to impress me.

Smith had his hands tied in recruitment and tried to do the best he could with the budget he had and one or two have been good; but not the right selection for me again tonight.

Having said that our injury situation is savage again.

Agree that some selections are not working. Handley might want to be a full back but is nowhere near - being a strong runner just isn't enough. Martin isn't a centre, and Myler isn't a halfback. Smith said earlier in the season that he picks the best players regardless of position, and he does that. But we're ending up with imbalanced teams and players with no muscle memory of the position they're in.

Another huge problem is individual errors. Far too many players are making bad errors, often with their first touch of the ball. Some mistakes will happen, but it speaks of a slack mindset as a group when so many are being made. Stop patting each other on the back when it happens and go James Graham on them.

We need to look at Hooley or Sinfield coming in next week. If he doesn't change things we'll just keep losing. As it is we may already be too far off the pace to make the play offs, as if Leigh and Sts both win we'll be 4 points off even 7th. Making up that ground will need us to start winning most of our games from now on, but also for the wheels to fall off more than one team currently ahead of us.

I still support Smith, and I understand what he was trying to do with respect to recruitment given the constraints he had in the off-season, but at the moment this season looks like its going to just wither to nothing, and its really poor that we can seemingly play hard and compete with the top teams but lose in awful games to teams below us in the table.
