It's getting harder to ignore these losses when they are coming this thick and this fast.

Leeds have been average this season, we are second which is a top result however we are just not putting it together.

Anyone who can take any positives out of the game tonight is a true believist, Bradford are an average side who we made look good.

We are short of a centre Watkins is good but he is just getting beaten up and gibson will never make it IMHO.

We do not look like a team with a plan and Bluey can talk all the platitudes he wants, we are not putting it together.

We look unstructured and vulnerable Worincey who is average cut us apart and Ablett was clearly in schoolboy land, you lot can make all the excuses you want but someone at HQ needs to sort the team out as they look clueless and rudderless.

you will see I don't post often and no doubt I will get slagged off for that but i will tell you what we are crap at the moment and somebody up there needs to sort it out with some quality class players who will give our youngsters time to breathe.

Not sure what has happened to the confidence in the team. We looked very timid last night in a game that for me wasn't as physical as either the Hull or Wigan games. Also, we are at pretty much full strength up-front. We flagged last year when we lost all our back row forwards at once (Kirke, Ellis, JJB, Ali). If this is as good as it gets?

It is a little worrying that with nearly 10 minutes left on the clock and only 4 points down against a team not renown for being great at defending we start trying cross kicks from inside our 20 on the second tackle. Whatever happened to field position and pressure?

But during the past two years, when we were in a losing spell, it didn't last all that long and we still tried to play good rugby. This season we have been, with one exception, garbage. The lack of inventiveness, spark and ability to break a defence has been a feature of the whole season so far - 9 games - the worst run for years. The smallness of the squad means we can't rotate players and put fresh ones in of a high enough standard to lift the team. And can someone please tell me what the point of Buderus is? What does he contribute? New players are crucial if the season isn't to fizzle out.
Remember the last time we went out of the cup in the first round? Smith never lost 2 games in a row the whole of that season.

I know it is only one match, but leeds looked well off it today.

Is it time for Gh to dip into his pocket for a centre? Do some players need a rest?

What would you do?

Offer Shenton a contract that he couldn,t refuse.

Money doesn't always talk, and ATEOTD there is still a salary cap and our pay structure.
