Missing Leeds Rhinos... : Fri Jul 24, 2009 8:51 pm  

I am worried because it seems that leeds rhinos have gone missing, last seen in the first half of tonights game, for the rest of the game a disorganised rabble who couldnt string a row of passes together or even have a good line of defence, would appreciate it if they could be returned back to headingly for the 1st of August.

Thank You



(well done wigan by far the better team in the 2nd half and you fully deserved the win!)

McGuire.....has he got a brain?
Diskin for Baderus.....that was good management wasn't it?
Some howlers on show from Leeds.
Wigan won on passion......Leeds should have been able to nullify it.....but were woeful on discipline.
I wanted Leeds to win by the way.....I'm not having a go.

we were stick in a cycle in the second half of just making it to the wigan 40. We never really got to thier tryline in the second half. Also looks like another lengthy lay-off for buderus!

We were cruising until the half hour mark when Diskin came on for Buderus, then we absolutely fell apart. The discipline was awful and it needs sorting out but Bluey keeps saying were working on it but there obviously not, last week was the first penalty count we won all season i think, Disgrace.
Attacking the line we looked clueless and defensivley we were poor and have been for a few weeks now, although Wigan played well we beat ourselves.
I hope Buderus isn't out for too long but it didn't look good and we aren't the same team without him IMO.

Wigans defence were really on their game though.

Errors were forced. Look at senior first half. They picked out our runners every time.

Most teams would have succombed to us after the strong opening half hour but wigan showed tremendous composure and grit.

They're going to be a threat (again) in the playoffs and had it been the old system it'd put money on it being another leeds v wigan final elim.

McGuire's brain farts are have always been part of his game, which when he's on song are easily forgiven.

Yes, I thought it was a strange decision by Bluey as well, perhaps he thought a 10 point lead was enough, and could afford to give Diskin a run out.

Wigan won convincingly by playing us off the park in the second half, although our indiscipline is now reaching legendary proportions this season.

It's no coincidence that they team that gives away the most penalties generally does the most defending, and we know that defending takes more energy out of you than attacking.

We will always have to put more energy into a game with our current indiscipline then we would if we could "fix" the problem.

Senior, Mc Guire, JJB, Ali, Diskin, all went missing tonight. We missed far too many tackles and gave away too many penalties AGAIN! The players are just making themsleves look silly.
I am pig sick of seeing unprofessional behaviour from our players week in week out, for goodness sake shape up!

If Leeds lose a game then players are apparently missing. I can still see Leeds Rhinos as the defending back to back champions and currently residing 2nd in the SL table.

Missing is when your Widnes.

Leeds are just going through a bumpy patch that they’ll learn from and sort out come the business end of the season.

After a promising start we just switched off.
Wigan got a sniff and then the consistent penalties we gave away just buried us.
Hopefully that won't be season over for buderus because we need him imo.
I also don't see the point of having a sub and not using him especially 2nd half when the pack were struggling and missing tackles left right and centre.
Lets hope they re-group and put it right against wire next week.
