Score nearly right, not to mention being the wrong way round!

Couldn't make the game today, but following the twitter feed it looked like the usual ill discipline and errors. All very frustrating, but a really tough league, as evidenced by Sheffield losing at Swinton and Batley grabbing it late at Barrow.

A real danger of not making the top 6. Very tough game at Batley next week and if we lose that, London could close to a point when they take on Toulouse (who don't travel well) at home.

For those who attended today, how did you rate the performance on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being brilliant and 1 garbage?






AM I RIGHT? I'M NOT WRONG!

Serious questions need to be asked now. Listened to the commentary; Another healthy bombed lead and to be out-enthused by York, irrelevant of their league position having played mid- week is pretty abysmal. Why is Fanoua playing? He will be back to Cas next week. I hope Tibbs was injured otherwise why isn't McComb playing at centre? Really questioning Grix's wisdom and judgement and clearly a lack of an assistant coach. Please drop Tangata, he is in the team no matter how poor he is. Why does Fleming play one week and dropped the next? This has all the makings of Marshall's penultimate season when we dropped out of the playoffs. You cannot see any consistency in form whatsoever this year. Big game against Batley.

And let's be honest, if Sammut hadn't been sent off last week, we might have been on the losing end also. I don't see any resolve or steel in this team at all. They vexed away 10+ leads today, Batley, Toulouse, couldn't see the game out against Bradford.

Leeds might be open to a new dual reg partner if the short term signings is the route you're going down now?

Maybe about a 3. It didn't start well in the warm up with Lannon getting injured but Grix logic dictated that we had a hooker as our 18th man and we had already gone in to the game with a winger on the bench who would be brought on as a second row so not the best of starts. We started okay and looked like we could score quite often but we did bomb a couple of chances before we got schooled by Liam Harris and totally out enthused by a team that played Wednesday night. It had me questioning my own logic in deciding to spend all that money to go and watch them today and I will give Batley a miss next week as I don't think it provides value for money with the talent we have in the squad serving up the same old stuff week in week out and a coach who is devoid of ideas on how to fix it.

I still see on Facebook people saying Grix is a good coach but what are they judging this on? His results? His signings? This season has been a shambles and in my opinion a good coach would have had us competing for 2nd spot with the talent we have in the squad yet we find ourselves with a realistic chance of not making the playoffs.

Opening 20 was good then after that it reverted to poor discipline and being out enthused by the opposition. Defending was poor for the most part and our confidence looks shot . Brainfarts from larroyer and tangata. Obrien played well the rest were average. I don’t think Grixs’ coaching is the problem however his man management of some players could be brought into question. Constant inconsistent changes to the squad might be what is damaging the confidence, if you’re gonna drop players to punish them for regular poor performances then at least drop the right ones starting with tangata .

Grix's attitude and perspective worries me as he doesn't have an assistant who will hold him to account. I am sorry but Irvine has never coached or been close to this level. He is dropping players on seemingly flimsy grounds. Yes, we don't see the stats and the training but the whole 'freshen' things up angle is tautological. Start of the season, allowances for experimentation but in the backend of the season, this approach seems more desperate than anything else. Likewise, it seems bizarre then in the same breath to talk about a lack of desire, but then you drop Moore who he is always waxing lyrical about being top of the effort charts. Tangata needs to be dropped if this is his logic. He talked about Tibbs being patchy which is laughable. I really don't know what to expect for the rest of the season. There really isn't any indication of what to expect. Win at Batley and all might be forgiven. If we limp into the playoffs, it's still anybody's game on the day but surely getting to the semis of the playoffs has to be the bare minimum.

I am coming back for a couple of weeks end of July, was really looking forward to seeing fax in the flesh again but now, not sure , at least on you tube I can turn it off.
Something needs to change, but who is out there to replace or even help Grix( that is if he would listen to advice), touted as a future superleague coach, not on this seasons showing.






My Humble Opinion Only - let the knockers begin.

Marks out of 10? First 20 minutes 7. Last 60 minutes 2. After a bright start we were totally outplayed and outfought. A simple sidestep and our defence was all over the place. No plan b and no creativity at all. It's obvious to anyone watching there is something wrong behind the scenes. The squad we have should be capable of so much more than this. Is it time for SG to go? Until yesterday I had been half heartedly backing him but not any more. It seems he has taken us as far as he can. Also to all those who support our use of dual reg think about this, we have the most prolific winger in the league and I don't think he got a decent pass from his SL centre all game. Add to that three tries came down Manua's flank and at one stage he couldn't even be bothered to chase a kick through sums his contribution up. Useless and uninterested. Another couple of hundred pounds spent having a good weekend away watching the lads spoilt only by the match.

Totally agree..I know there are fans out there who think Grix isn't the issue but i'd challenge any supporter to put a credible counter-argument to this post..
