I’m not so sure. If you think about it, there was always going to be another significant turnover in players at the end of this season, we couldn’t completely renew the squad in one closed season.

Just four or five good quality new players could transform Leeds. We’ve been mostly hurt by repeat offender poor defence and errors. Change that and we change some results.

Don’t get me wrong, things are bad. I thought we would do better this year than we have, but I always thought we would struggle without a real Garbutt replacement.

The problem is that Leeds, bar one blazing light in 2017, have been poor watching now for 3+ years and patience is in very short supply.

We've played poor rugby for the best part of a decade. Only 2015 stands against that trend really, maybe 2017 too

Would hurrell also please stop coughing the ball in a tackle.

Hurrell has been our best player this season, he makes errors. It’s our middles and half backs that are the problem.

Hurrell is our best player but is and always has been mistake ridden

Agreed. 2011/ 12 we were awful regular season till play offs even though we did turn up and play some good stuff for a few games at the end which makes it easy to forget/forgive that. 2013/14 very poor again and not good to watch, this was the height of the Mac out campaign on here..2015 is the outlier where for more than 3/4 of the year we were playing some top rugby. 2016 embarrassing beyond belief.2017 ok with a great end. 2018 see 2016.this year following that at the minute although slightly better to watch.

To be fair, as far as the decade goes its amazing we won 4 SL's and 2 CC's during it turning out the rugby we have over that stretch. Are we the most successful team of the decade or is it Wigan? Must be close.

Spot on quote. But he's also passionate about us as shown after Friday

Good evening, next week will be mine and my 15yr olds first trip to France for the game. Is there a general area in Perpignan that the fans gather?

Thanks

Hi Lee, most fans gather under the Castillet at a bar called Cafe De La Poste. You can sit outside have a few drinks and meet other fans. Hetherington and co usually pop down to have a drink before the game.

Also if you have a ticket show it on the bus which makes it a free trip to and from the ground back to the centre of Perpignan.

Hope you enjoy the trip. I'm fearing the worst but still looking forward to the trip.

I'd drop Myler for McClelland before Tui

Without Hastings, Myler is statistically the form scrum half in SL. He’s playing behind a well beaten pack and shouldnt be made the scapegoat. We have far bigger problems than whether Myler plays or gets dropped.

Im not a fan of Myler, but he is trying to conjure things out of thin air ATM, constantly on the back foot and isn't getting any help.

There's a guy who stands by us in the Extentia stand and he always gets into Myler from minute one, constant sniping and pishing n moaning at players all game, why do people even come to rugby if you don't enjoy it or everything is "bloody rooooobish Leeds" Soon shut up after Myler scored that jinking try.
