Anyone back v Leeds?

Players weren't mentally prepared for this game, tell from.the kick off and that comes down to the coach.

Should we have stuck Andy Last? He did well after Radford got sacked and got us to a semi final.

Carlos definitely not, McIntosh dont know.

Hopefully Carlos and McIntosh but who knows if we have picked up any injuries and there's the dreaded disciplinary as well.

I hope BH sorts his use of the interchanges out for Thursday as Lovodua was brought on in place of Houghton far too late.

I think we needed a fresh face, and I don't think Hodgson is a total flop, there are areas where you can see he has improved us.



We have so many poor players though. When you compare our squad to the one of 5/6 years ago it's night and day. Wynne, Swift (who I actually quite like btw, but he's no Talanoa), Reynolds, McNamara, Sao, Lane, Johnstone, Fash, Brown, Evans. None of them would have been anywhere near the first choice 17 in 2016. That's not to say they are all poor players, and I know a couple of those wouldn't be involved anyway if not for injuries, but it just shows how far the squad has regressed.

Pretty sure BH said Carlos would be out a couple more weeks.

I really like the look of Lovodua. He brings an energy to the team and always looks like he can make something happen. He needs to be on the field as much as possible. Whether that's hooker, loose forward or whatever. He was wasted today.

It sounded like Fash was having a mare, and we know Johnstone doesn't offer anything, with plan A not working with Fash, why wasn't Lovodua brought on at loose forward and Houghton who was performing left on at hooker, with Johnstone spelling him if needed?



That and Vulikijapani totally omitted, I'm scratching my head. That scoreline shows we were crying our for better defence out wide with many of the trys coming down the flanks.

I'll support him for now but there are shades of Peter Gentle who was another inexperienced head coach.

I'm not
