Ive just typed a long rant and the forum reloaded.

Can’t be arsed typing it again.

Im fuming, im not saying we shouldn’t have got rid of Rohan but can you see us scoring some of those trys we did early on last year? I can’t

Concentrated on Fitness to the detrement of actually playing rugby.

Nothing positive to take from today at all. Stripped out wide from very early on in the game, Wakey were far too good without actually having to do anything spectacular. They just played a really solid, structured game. We were dire with and without the ball. BA will be earning his corn this week that's for sure. Anyway, on to Salford. Can't wait.

My worry is BA said in his presser we need to keep it simpler, I’m not sure how much more simpler we can play

We may well have but we looked gassed half way through the second half.

This forum is as bad as our performance 4 times it’s crapped out on me, i give up

Re: Leeds v Wakefield : Sat Feb 15, 2025 6:53 pm  

I think by keeping it simple he means by having some direction to our plays rather than going down blind alleys and trying to pass our way out of trouble. Let's not mention Rohan please, I feel sick enough. We are the man u of rugby league

Re: Leeds v Wakefield : Sat Feb 15, 2025 7:02 pm  

The complete lack of control and any attacking shape was very worrying. One man out, headless chicken stuff on attack. Last tackle plays were poor and our general kicking was also rubbish.

Frawley offers nothing and Ackers has all the limitations of Brad Dwyer without the pace or enthusiasm.

After a whole pre-season , we looked just as limited as last season.

Time for O’Connor and Sinfield to push the second raters at 7 and 9 out of the team

Re: Leeds v Wakefield : Sat Feb 15, 2025 7:05 pm  

To be fair, it is only one game (so far). Remember the wallopping Cas gave us early doors in 2017? McDermott era, not Rohan

Hopefully Arthur lives up to the hype, not the myth of his namesake

Re: Leeds v Wakefield : Sat Feb 15, 2025 7:08 pm  

Well it’s round 1 and it already feels like it’s a long old season ahead, not much to take out of that performance that is positive. Same old poor skill and discipline in attack and defence it’s a recurring cycle of S***

For me Handley can’t stay at centre he’s a winger and he showed that today with his horrendous defensive display. ECW has to come in there because I’m sure he can offer more there and Handley can take his left wing spot back.

Connor was poor after showing some promising signs in pre season, Frawley continues to be a waste of a halfback and quota spot when Miller is back I’d personally have him at full back and Connor or Sinfield in halves with Croft because again we won’t miss anything by not having Frawley there.

Ryan Hall was the only player for us who could come off the pitch with his head up after game, how the calibre of player in a Leeds shirt has drastically fallen around him.

Fewer unforced errors and penalties would be a start, and having a plan on the last tackle.
