Thought Newman went backwards last night. Not a bad thing as needs to learn, and will do. Definitely top three were. Merrin, Singleton (yes Singleton, best game in a long long time), and Ava.

Also, I don’t want Agar, but give the guy some credit. He has definitely done what was asked of him, and got the team playing together at least and showing some desire. I really couldn’t have seen any other coaching appointment have improved on that with how we were. Now we have that, we need the next step.

At least we got ourselves in good positions in that second half. First half I actually thought for the most part we would never score a try. Defensively for the most part we were strong.

Doesn't happen very often, but I agree with all that

Kendalls the worst official in superleague and imo he has a clear bias against Leeds. In 30 years of supporting Leeds iv thought a lot of refs have been useless, but iv never once thought one was bias, i do with Kendall, every single time he refs us. I know its not the popular thing to say, but thats how i feel.

Having said that, we have got some of the worst players iv ever seen play for Leeds in this squad, 2 of which are our starting halfs, they are without doubt the worst halfback pairing in superleague and would be middle of the pack in the championship, disgraceful effort from both again last night. Our spine last night was Dwyer, Myler, Suttcliffe and Lolohea...Thats why we lost. Add in Ferres who is by far the worst player in superleague imo, whos every contribution hurts the team, we are exactly where we deserve to be, a very real relegation scrap.

Thought Ava and Trent were both very good again, Singleton went well aswel. Hurrell gets used like the big kid in u12's, we really need to use him better, his ball security is a massive issue when he's chugging it up into traffic in our own half, good ball in the right areas and he'l terrorize teams, again though, our halfbacks wouldnt know good ball if they fell over it.

If ever there was a game that showed how desperately we need a 6, 7 and 9 it was tonight.

Thought Merrin was spectacular as usual, proper forward, Big Ava ran well and Cuthbo did ok off the bench. The pack have a right to be disappointed tonight with our poor our halves was. Really poor.

Having said that there was too many errors and too many penalties to win a winnable game.

The priorities have be a new number 9 and 2 halves. You cant bring a new half in and expect him to be able to do the job with Dwyer at 9 it's impossible for any half. I'm sorry.

Is there really any quality halves available at this time of year anyway? I suspect not really.

Really frustrated with that tonight. The effort and endeavour was there for all to see and the game was there to be taken and we didnt get the job done. Just not good enough this team right now.

Absolutely agree. Put two good halves in the team of ours last night we win by plenty

The player that disappoints me is Cameron Smith - this would be an ideal opportunity to stick your hand up and really show what he is made of. All we are getting is minimal contribution at a pretty low performance level. It would appear that all the hype was misplaced and like his brother he will be yet another journeyman. Something is wrong in the development of talented youngsters at Leeds.

Re: SL RD 18 | Wigan Warriors (H) : Sat Jun 15, 2019 7:15 am  

I agree with a few on here re Dwyer plenty of effort but runs around like a headless chicken too often. Hes a decent impact hooker but we need better long term.

I lost count of the bad kicks myler put in near opponents line.. the kid is shot to pieces.

I think he has next year to prove what he can do, but I agree he’s been underwhelming this year. Doesn’t help that he was in at 6 and dummy half last night at times.

Maybe its debatable Nicky but lets not forget the 70s put on you were by two ATG SL sides ln Saints and Leeds mid 2000's which would wipe the floor with anything SL had to offer in this period imo.

Honestly its quite shocking how both our sides have regressed in such a short space of time.

If I remember well, you never wiped the floor with the Super League team you met in the Challenge Cup Final at Cardiff.

Infact I believe you lost, if my memory serves me better than yours.
