Don't think Newman's is harsh. I think he's a cracking player but I really don't want to see players carrying on at refs like that. Leave it to the footballers. Or us.

I think on reflection our ill discipline is down to frustration both at how we are giving soft penalties away, most if not all under performing and decisions going against us oh and not winning games. All contribute to the frustration the players are feeling. Winning teams rarely complain hence why the Leeds of old were nowhere near as bad as our current crop (McGuire maybe the exception)

Agree but one match should be the punishment.AFIK he wasn't charged with swearing at the ref .

Having players in their best positions is important but myler is contradictory to that coming on at hooker for 9 mins when the games gone. Where leeds are at they need the best 13 on the field, myler fb hardaker centre with Harry out and Martin back row.

Hardaker is one of our few bright sparks. We loose that with him at Centre. You don’t move your best players around constantly. Myler is back up to a few positions. That’s useful.,..,,

Normally I might agree with you but with newman missing Martin isn't the answer to continue at centre (one of our better players this year out of position, sound familiar? And the pack could really do with him in there) I'm also not convinced hardakers link on last pass plays is as consistent and as good as mylers (for all zaks strengths). Right now we need 13 strongest body's, myler is (to quote the RFL) frivolous from the bench in some jack of all master of non/might be needed/might not be role. We're better served playing another forward given the dire straights theyre in.

I agree Martin is needed in the pack.Myler can as we know play well at fullback and centre partnership of Sutty and Hardhaker is better than Sutty Martin plus we lose Martin from the pack.It also means we can use Dwyer as an impact sub.
