Given that on more than one occasion this season the performance has the appearance of players having just met in the car park before the game and those with their boots get to play, can anyone offer any insight as to how often we actually train. I've heard this morning from a source with no reason to make things up that it's 3 mornings per week. Surely that cannot be right, though it would explain much.

I'm still intrigued Christopher, Jim, leedsbarmyarmy et al, when you were scoffing t the criticism of RS and insisting that we were a much different team to last year, that we're progressing, what on earth were you watching?!

Mate, your I told you so / look at me I was right posts after every defeat are childish and cringey.

Last year we weren’t great but we also had loads of injuries and an unsettled team. I was happy to give him a chance with his players he signed and hopefully a better run of injuries and there were signs of improvement and potential but it hasn’t worked out.

Congrats on your predictions

let's not pretend that we wouldn't have been invited to eat our own words had we been doing well at this point.

Thanks for the congratulations, though to be fair I think it wasn't much of a prediction and genuinely, I'm not sure what you were watching 'mate'.

This forum has always been a battle between the miserable sods, and the happy clappers. Even when we were good, this place was the same.

Probably not, I don’t care about point scoring against people on the internet.

I’ll put my point across which is generally a positive spin, as that my general outlook on life. If you don’t think there was any positive potential at the start of the season that’s fine, would be boring if we all had the same opinions

Re: Smith out ASAP : Sun Jun 16, 2024 4:59 pm  

I think the bigger picture for Friday is we can’t have another pathetic half ar$ed showing from Leeds on such an occasion. Rohan needs to be gone, as we need a team playing with heart and passion on Friday in memory of Burrow.

Re: Smith out ASAP : Sun Jun 16, 2024 5:10 pm  

If any any players are half arsed on Friday they are done. DONE.

Re: Smith out ASAP : Sun Jun 16, 2024 5:19 pm  

But just remember the players are human and things like what’s happened to Rob will affect people in different ways. That’s not me making excuses in advance or for yesterday, I’m just pointing out it’s easy to judge from the sidelines when the reality of these situations aren’t always clear cut.

I didn’t particularly think yesterday’s performance was half arsed it just wasn’t good. Mik for example was trying too hard, look at his stats!

Another 2 weeks to prep, refresh and refocus and yet again we turn in a clueless disasterclass.

I don’t even know why I’m actually surprised, we’ve been dire pretty much all season, all the early season optimism has evaporated as the same lazy, shortcut vibes rugby yet again proves to be our undoing. Not one player in that team is looking or playing to their potential as it’s just an unstructured joke of a system.

This Friday is all about Rob and despite seething on that travesty yesterday we need to park this for one game, circle the wagons and come together for the great man.

There was a terrible atmosphere at that game yesterday, some very strange people who I’ve never seen at Rhinos games before at the centre of most the unpleasantness. I understand that we differ on opinions etc but turning on each other isn’t the way to go.

Friday is all about Rob & the Burrow family period.

The last two games at Hull have turned really toxic. We won the first game and lost the other by one try.

A few round me (the more mature end of the market in age…) were getting annoyed again, saying it’s not helping.

Just left bemused about whether some of our play, or the fickle angry mob of a fan base were more embarrassing.
