I have a feeling it will be p'ing down, so may be more important than ever, we just need a valid 2nd/3rd option to keep them guessing

Me too, especially as the same thing happened to Mase 2nd half and Kendall never even noticed it...........

Leeds were very good in first half but I put our first half performance down too as stated Leeds were good but also us having a fans open training event on the day before a match. I love the idea of fan days but not just before match day. We have done this twice now, first one was the home Cas match when we put in a very poor first half and then last Friday which resulted in a half when we played below the standards we have shown in most other games.

Its lovely that players are available to sign autographs, chat with fans, laugh joke and communicate with fans but not the day before match. I want our players taking the pitch like uncaged wild animals, ready to eat raw meat and inflict damage on the opposition. I want them focused, aggressive, violent and ready to do battle. Signing autographs and been nice to young children for me is not the best preparation.


The twice we have done it and the resulting first half performances proves my point.


Yes have fans days but have them a day or two after the match. 

Think you are not giving Cas or Leeds credit. for the way they played in the first half .So that is a excuses for the Leeds defeat , what is your excuses for the other defeats ,I think the Cas and Leeds bad first half performance was like the other defeats lack of Ball .If we get our fair share of Ball we can give any one a game .even with a weak pack ,and a make do 6 .

I guess it's up to the players to decide for themselves if they want to hang around to pose for selfies etc?  Some players take defeat differently to others.  It's also a relatively "new" phenomena isn't it?  I can't imagine the likes of Shaun Edwards, Mal Reilly or Ellery Hanley wanting to hang around after a game for this sort of thing, especially after a loss.  

This is one of the most ludicrous things I’ve read on this forum. Shall we lock them all in cages before every match too? Do you think they don’t go home and rest / spend time with their families between training and games? 

Nothing “proves your point” - it’s two totally indirect points that have no correlation with the other. You’re looking for excuses and sometimes in sport there aren’t any.


Leeds were the better side in the first half, Trinity were the better side in the second half.
