For me what’s so frustrating is that it’s totally unacceptable being towards the bottom end of the league for a club like Leeds. I know it’s early and it’s not panic stations yet but we need to get a win or two soon regardless of injuries as if we don’t confidence will be rock bottom and we’ll get stuck in a rut.

Leeds should be challenging towards the top end of the league most seasons and accept nothing less. We’re clearly hugely reliant on Gale Hurrell Tetevano being fully fit and firing. Without those we lack the leadership and strike to win games.

Did you expect us to beat Cas, Saints and Wigan with the teams we had out? You cant possibly have done if your honest

with salary cap should be feasible for anyone to be top or bottom but that hasn't worked out and currently better signings going to wigan, sts, warr than us

Nope I didn’t and that’s not what I’m saying. We need to get some games won soon with the players we have available.

We’re not going to get relegated this season but some heads will roll if we end up in a dogfight for it.

We’re a solid mid-table side right now (and that’s progress).

To climb up we’re going to have to make some better senior recruitment decisions. We have a base of youth now; we need stardust.

I know it’s hard but our main competition have found ways to out-recruit us for some time now.

I'm not sure 'solid mid table' Is progress. This is some drawn out transition phase.

We can't rant judge where we'd have been with a fitter squad. We've been absolutely decimated by injury, far far worse than any other team....
Unfortunately that's threatening to ruin our season... Not sure there writings have been any other solution to the start we've had, and likely to have for the next month or so.
Moving forwards we need to be able to pay without Gale as his age and injuries will mean he wasn't okay every game. Also need to make sine big calls on Senior player retainment /signings for next year...
