I find it hard to disagree with those faults.

Mediocrity seems to be the middle name of too many of the squad.

What is annoying the shoite out of me are the crass interviews with the players; "Whiting: We must improve"

Really, Einstein? By Jove! He's cracked it!

My advice is gag the players during the next 6 weeks, let them start putting their money where their mouths are and learn the basics again. That is what is letting us down - getting the simple things right like catch and pass.

If that happened people would moan that the club had distanced itself from the supporters.

As dull as these interviews are, at least they fill a gap. I'm not sure what the players are expected to say when questioned by the Mail. "We're probably going to lose the next four games but we'll see how we go against Huddersfield and Catalans." Yeah, that would go down well.

Statements like the one from Whiting serve no purpose and do the teams credibility no good. Particularly after an embarrassing defeat such as the Leeds cup exit.

Was it a statement or an answer to a question?

Tune in next week for the HDM's 'Stating the Bleeding Obvious Section' for,

'If we score more points than we concede, we'll start winning more games'

Your season is over, that's no big thing. Next year your pack will be humongous and probably the most feared pack in the Super League! ......If you can manage to hold onto Danny, then you will be feared by all! ......By the way, I honestly can't believe that some of your supporters doubt Houghton's ability and credentials as an acting half! ......I would take him to Rovers in a heart beat!

Lee Radlord - there is a picture in he dictionary of him under mediocrity

Some of our supporters are clueless, would be a disaster if we lose him. Wouldn't blame him for leaving though, he'd be awesome in a Leeds team and would win silverware and international honours, which I guess every pro wants to achieve

I really feel for Houghton & Shaul, they just need better quality coaching with their passing skills, someone like Nathan Brown, would make Houghton close to international honours. -IMO.
