Regarding the fans at Belle Vue being hostile, when reading Keith Seniors autobiography he referred to playing at Wakefield as the cauldron of hate.

Probably because he used to run into a fight and king hit players from behind

Pitts did right to go for the steal, more of less under the post .Next play Leed would have past it back to Gale game over .Just the way things are going at presents.,Did feel sorry for Mr Chester last night ,the team could not have give more

I said in a previous post that our pivots were rubbish and general play certainly in the second half was garbage some Leeds fans are saying an half decent side should have rattled 40 past us that’s how bad we were,Leeds are poor and we are notch worse

No one can deny the effort that is on show is off the scale ,but our skill set is well below par of where it should be even before the injuries set in . Our defensive structures have certainly got better even with the chopping and changing to the team , so why is our attack so poor and has been for a long time . I remember this same conversation a few seasons ago in the friendly’s and was told we were keeping our powder dry as to attacking structures . I think two seasons is long enough to keep them under wraps ,and could we please see them implement ASAP .

I think that it needs a bit of realism here. Our 'pivots' consisted of one regular (Mason), we had one hooker on loan (been with us 2 weeks), the other hooker is a backrower and went off early in the game, our other half is really a fullback and our fullback has only been training with us for a couple of weeks. Oh and I'm forgetting that our only regular hooker pulled out of the game the day prior to the match.

That does not apply to our many other similar performances since the start of last season.

Yes it does. You should check the starting pivots for the previous games and the injuries during games to our pivots then you will see it very much applies. We haven’t had our starting Spine together once this season yet.

I believe we have had in 6 games:

4 x different full backs
5 x different halfback combinations
4 x different hooker combinations

We have had the most disruption out of all superleague clubs. It’s always going to be a challenge to be a free scoring team in that scenario.

Regardless of the challenges though we must pick up at least 2 wins from the next 3 including beating Leigh.

And all I read about in my paper this morning was Leeds injuries!!! Fed up of all these CC critics. Yes we are all disappointed but give it a rest.

Me too.
I hope fans that turn up next week really get behind the team, no matter what, right to the final whistle.

I'm hearing a few clubs are chasing Joe Westerman now. Another one of Mr. Chester's rubbish signings eh

Disappointing that we persist with a 2nd rower at prop when we have 3 props on the bench.
