I think some credit has to go to Wakefield today, they were very organised and once they got some joy on Abletts side they kept going there, defence was solid from them as well.

Easter?? He should have had his p45 by 2.30 this afternoon.
That was woeful from the 1st set.
No structure-AGAIN
No kicking game-AGAIN
No dummy runners or attacking options for the ball carrier-AGAIN
No Leadership from snr Players-AGAIN.
No communication defensively-AGAIN.
Young Players hung out to dry-AGAIN.
No F#$#ING Clue from the Coach - AGAIN.
Cheers Brian im so glad i paid 18quid to be told at FT it was an opposed training run
Of course it's Pre-Season & yes we have players to return but that was a rudderless clueless shambles & a reminder of how far behind we have fallen since 2015.

P.s Just to add when you make Liam Finn look like Andrew Johns at his best you have issues friendly game or not.

Quite possibly, it's what remains after his departure that could be the problem. Aging half backs, no balance or structure in the squad etc etc.

Re: Boxing Day | Leeds Rhinos v Wakefield Trinity. : Mon Dec 26, 2016 5:10 pm  

but a new coach with no ties to the players could be more ruthless in getting rid?

Cheers for that, enjoyed our annual festive trip to Headingley and really looking forward to the new season. Have to say though seriously disappointed in McDermott's comments about today being an open training session. A lack of decency there when both sets of fans have shelled out the best part of twenty quid, he may well have thought it but poor form to come out with it.
All the best for 2017

Yes, I heard about McDermott's post-match RL media conference slap-in-the-face for the fans.

One very prolific and dedicated Rhinos fan (55k+ tweets) earlier tweeted (in response to the official LeedsRhinos twitter account...

When the club hypes it up, charges full price, fans turn up and the coach described it as a “public training run”

When did Kirkstall flood ? I had no idea the rain over in Leeds had been that bad.

First anniversary of the Great Flood of Kirkstall is today.

It destroyed all hope of completing the treble in 2016.

Allegedly.

12 minutes that sum up 2016 Leeds
All the field position. No idea. Concede soft try.

And again.
Going to be a long 2017 season.

On this evidence there's no point sending Aston on dual reg.
He won't get in Featherstone's team.

Dire, uninspiring garbage.
And I'm being kind. #McDermottOut

Hope nobody is sending Matt Parcell the video of this, he'll cancel his flight.

Those Leeds fans too young to remember the dark days of the early 80s, you're in for a treat.

F*** this, I'm off home. Waste of £18

I've paid to see worse Leeds teams than this, when I was younger and dumber. Thought I had more sense these days

How much transfer fee did GH get in the end? Was it that £300k he said the asking price was?

Classic. Meanwhile we're spaffing money on a half-back we don't need to stop Sheffield from going under.

He likes his "undisclosed" does Gary. Hides his embarrassment.

If only there was an easier way to republish other people's tweets
