Leeds will be rubbing their hands, another shafting on the cards for me.
Surely Smith cant play Tuimavave or McNamara if he is true to his word about performance Litten has to start at full back Hopefully Mitch injury not too bad and and he can play centre and if Clifford had a pain injection and was trying to run it off then he may make it too. Bit of radical thinking Tony, try Balmforth at six

We need an injection of desire, commitment and intensity of major proportions and the only way we’d get that is with with youth. Far too many seniors just lacking in heart & desire which shows in what must be the laziest and slowest team in SL history as there’s no desire to get off the line to defend.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

It will interesting to see if there is any reaction from our team on Friday. I sit in W4 section and that’s where all the players see their families after the game. After the Rovers games, all the players are signaling that they were going down the tunnel, you could tell they’d been told. Only Jamie Shaul came over, but was obviously in pain with his leg.
Certainly a change in mood, after the Leigh defeat, Taylor was laughing and joking with someone in the crowd within 2 minutes of the hooter. I don’t expect players to be punished, but I do expect them to hurt after a defeat, especially when it’s embarrassing or unexpected.
Sadly, the nature of contracts means that these days the players get paid regardless. All are protected to at least the end of the season. It’s a shame they are not performance related, with a basic pay, with added payments if they are in the playing 17 and for winning. I doubt now with the advent of Agents that such a contract would ever be signed. However, for those who are not performing there is no incentive to be in the team nor win.

If Leeds play against us like their first half performance we might stay in the game a little longer than 20 mins. However if they start the game like they have the 2nd half we will be in deep trouble.

Leeds are far quicker than us, we got lucky a couple of times earlier in the season when they made 2/3 clean breaks and couldn't convert, could be another 30-40 point loss unless something drastic happens!
