I wouldn't be hugely surprised if last year has had more of an adverse impact on this than anyone suspected. Last year Leeds showed that they could 'get it right' when it counted. This year it would appear as though half the team are of the mindset of 'nothing much matters, we'll be right in the end'. The Wigan game probably didn't help either - racking up a lot of points against probably the most mistake prone side I've seen in years does not equate to a good performance. Personally, I'd suggest that the chances of repeating a Lazarus-style turnaround at the end of the season are very slim.
As G1 says, the lack of structure and urgency and giving away needless penalties has nothing at all to do with lacking a prop or centre. Just look at the names on the Leeds teamsheet and compare to Bulls/Salford. Internationals all over the place. Still the core of the team that has won the Championship the last two years. And yet....playing sh*te.
Never mind signing new players, how about giving one or two of the underperformers a kick up the backside and dropping them?
BTW if the other players cannot handle the wages Buderus are on, I suggest they have far too much time on their hands.
