Positives (let's start with the hard bit!):

JJB was colossal for us - a superb performance

Ablett - I feel so sorry for him that we've played him out of position for such large parts of his career - looks international class at times

Sinfield - Another attempt to drag us out of the depths with little support

Buderus - Got us moving forward much better when he returned & a monster in defence

Negatives:

Team selection - when our game plan appeared to be to go wide early why have we left Hardaker and BJB out of the 17 and played Ablett at centre

Huaraki - The above selection meant he started, waste of a shirt. His 2 powder puff attempts at tackles in front of the SS in the second half were an embarrassment.

Smith & Delaney - COuldn't catch a cold in the first half

Tactics - Prop forwards running in and stopping before the line to a second rower running the same line behind them

Fans - booing Diskin before the game was a disgrace. A man who has won 4 Grand Finals, given 10 years great service and arguably been pushed out of the door deserves a hell of a lot more respect. Fair play to Disko for acknowledging the SS after the game albeit briefly.

Fans 2 - Making noise during the minutes silence is bad enough. Shouting from the back of the stand that people are cocks for doing just makes it a hell of a lot worse. What do they hope to achieve

Ganson - I need someone to clarify this but should he really give penalties for not standing square when the ball is passed wide from dummy half and the player gets nowhere near the ball - this happened at least twice. There also seemed a lot of doubt over there first and our second try

Think the noise in the southstand in the minutes silence for people who have given there life is appalling. Smith and Delaney agree both poor in attack in first half. I thought that peacock seemed to go ok in the forwards, better than I have seen from him before this season.

Tbh from where I was the only booing for diskin I heard was when he took ablett high.

For me ablett and Jjb were standout players

But Bradford deserved to win and played better than us. Their second try was very good

He was booed by a large section of the South Stand both times the teams were announced before the game. He was booed after the high tackle which was fair enough and then each time he touched the ball after by some.

A disgrace.

burrow,lauitiiti,smith,delaney,mcshane,hauraki were garbage,totally anonymous.
the coach is a clown. no tactics, no shape,no structure. we were like a pub team. he has to go

Did Buderus play tonight? Didn't see him at all.

I can only imagine I was in a state of shock from the squad selection and performance

buderus was supurb. led every kick chase and tackled his guts out. you must have been really p**sed not to notice

Saw quite a bit of him, think he was at LF for quite a bit

I am mate...

He was one of our better players - one of 3 or 4 players who tried in vain to drag us off the floor

I agree tad, also another shocking team selection, hall going off injured, we had no cover, despite bish and hardaker being available, why not go with webb, hardaker, smith, delaney, hall, to start with, then when hall goes off, you can move smith to the wing, abbo to the centres then atleast youve got some pace in the backs still. i know you can't predict hall getting injured but a smarter coach with the options he now has in the backs would have cover in the 17 incase injuries occur like tonight.

I feel the players are trying really hard plenty of enhusiasm, but their not smart enough with the ball, no movement off the ball just too predictable. webby kicking on the first i could believe, that apart i thought he was one of our better players tonight

One moment that summed it up for me was, during one of our many possessions in Bradford's 30, we got to the 6th tackle, and Peacock had to put up a high ball. So blooming clueless.

We could have played for another hour, and we wouldn't have scored a try in that second half.

Takes some doing losing at home to Bradford but we've done it! 5th home defeat of the season. Good luck with the marketing people for season tickets for 2012! I remember thinking in the first game at Cardiff how exciting the season could be. I felt we'd ship in points but score plenty too. How wrong can you be!? When lauititi threw the ball forward under no pressure to a White shirt it summed it all up late on. Lots of sideways running, little organisation. The effort seems there to be fair but what the hell is done on the training ground??

Doesn't this look like another case of 'we dont like the game plan, we'll play to our own' a la last year?

An embarrassment tonight and 2 very poor teams, pretty sure my under 9's controlled the ball better tonight at half time. Same old leeds if plan A does not work we dont have a plan B. At least i know my phone in working order from over 100 texts from bullshi t s

I recall seeing that in at least 3 games this season. When we have so many (average) kick options, how the hell do we get to a situation where a prop is kicking the ball on the last tackle?

I would say that the coach is a clown, but frankly it's now that bad that this comment would be offensive to clowns...

It looked in the first few minutes like the game plan was to go wide early. A good tactic against a Bradford side who are pretty average in the outside backs. Unfortunately we didn't the conditions or personnel to play that game plan and clearly had no plan B other than Sinfield, Jonesy and Buderus trying to use their experience to drag other players around with them

Yup. The depressing thing was how clueless we looked. The players aren't *that* clueless. It takes coaching to make professional athletes look that bad.

You could throw a stick in the street and hit someone who'd do a better job for Leeds than McDermott.

One of the worst games i have seen in a long time.
Need to freshen up the squad with newer young british players, and not ageing Aussies. Only positive for me out of that game was the performance of JJB, Ablett and Peacock

You weren't there last week then...

Dire game between two dire teams. The Bulls have realised they are inept and so take their penalty goal kicks. We still think we're as good as when Tony Smith was coach and so ran ours. Hence we lose. We need to realise how bad we are.

I thought there was an interesting cameo at the end. As well as Buderus played he again ended the game with a brain fart and threw away our last chance (though I am sure plenty will leap to his defence/excuse soon enough). Diskin on the other hand ended the game composed, calm and in control, fittingly taking the last tackle of the match with a smile.

Disspointing result but happy for two of our longest and most loyal servants now at the Bulls, Disco and Franny.

What about when we broke through near end only to stab it through for ablett to chase ? He aint no scott donald is he and totally another wrong decision. The players all harp on about how things are good and coach is good but something is not right at the club and GH needs to act now.

No couldn't get down, understand it was pretty dire though

On another note Disko has just put this on twitter, fair play to the lad.
[iI'd like to thank the Leeds fans who made me feel welcome back at Headingley. For those that booed, I'll still remember you fondly[/i

The lad's a winner and a class act,

we need freshening up and i think GH knows that or i hope he does, we were poor, but i felt we were again like so many times this season our worst enemy, giving a away silly penalties, we did have enough chances to win, but were too dumb with the ball! i think we'll see ali, senior, kirke, leave at the end of the year i'd be tempted to give webb another year he annoyed me big stle kicking on the first, but that aside he looks our most threatening attacking option at the moment.
