Don't understand the hard on people have for fan numbers.

On the game not very confident and fear a good old thrashing!!

no shaul for fc, possibly the best attacking fullback in the league right now and no pryce

naughton to move to fullback, may see radford go with the same formation v huddersfield in the halves

Can't believe just told my dad I can not be bothered going tonight, can't recall other times doing that. Just giving in with the crap on offer. Decided in end to go in seperate cars, so I can get up and leave early if I want, and boo if it is my choosing.

A crap hole indeed but a crap hole that generated a cracking atmosphere and we didn't need a band to artificially create one.

Same here.

CBA category for me tonight. Not even watching it on TV either.

Not as much to do with the poor performances of Leeds for me but more to do with the general tripe on offer throughout SL which is the main factor in my CBA-ness status. I can only stomach watching Catalans these days. At least they've got a few star quality players who are actually worth watching.

Two season tickets not being utilised among my family members. Probably still counted in the official attendance tonight though.

Leeds win tonight and by 20 points, can't see us losing again tonight

indeed

Basil Fawlty style?

I've actually been to more games already this year than I did last already, but that's more to do with taking my 4yr old as he is rugby mad at the moment, but I have actually been a bit bored at some of the games TBH, also not watching as many neutral games as I used to. Not sure if this is the lack of entertainment and standard or that we are poor. This last year I have watched a fair bit of a amateur games again because of my boy and actually found myself more interested there than at HQ at moment.

That said taking the kids tonight but don't hold out much hope

No more in the style of a government minister with his mistress

I take in a under 13, and under 15 game every week, and normally there is an under 16 game after the under 15's so watch that also. Much prefer that this season.

I don't mind losing games, but the crap on offer from Leeds full stop this year is really bad to stay interested at. It is a game thing aswell though, as usually go to about 6 or 7 Cas games per season, and this year they too are crap to watch.

Ablett mentioned it in his Collum as well the drop in standards. I don't know if when your winning it doesn't register not sure. I remember watching a lot of dross last year as well but it seems worse again this year

Lower level RL's always been worth a watch, Batley v Fev will likely be the best sky game of the weekend. Much more likely to watch that than I am to replay ours.

fine weather, how long till the FC fans come on here complaining about no roof on the western terrace?

Much better. Burrow and Hardaker really stood up and led, as well as JJB in the last 20 minutes. Lilley kicked really well throughout but Sutcliffe was terrible again.

This was probably are best performance too date along with the first half in wcc not convinced are attack is all there yet but defence definitely improved though Burrow,Lilley,Hardaker, JJB and Keinhorst were are best performers tonight hopefully kick on now and get ourselves up the table. All Leeds aren't we, all Leeds aren't, all Leeds aren't we.

Wouldn't say he was terrible, but not as impressive as other pivots, average maybe better description.

I just prefer Lilley over Sutcliffe because Lilley looks determined to get himself involved and make a contribution and not wait for the game to come to him like Sutcliffe (or again the disappointing Watkins).

Hardaker had a couple of knock ons 1st half and again the thing about him leaving kicks for the wingers was obvious (although Golding made a great escape from one to avoid a drop out). However did do a lot of good things and created the first try for those particular "he can't pass at all" crowd and some good defence.l

Keinhorst just such a good worker and whilst they don't have the strength of Hall and Briscoe in carrying the ball Golding and Handley did OK. Achurch came up with one good offload but defensively he just isn't good enough for me.

They'll inevitably be the talk of the unused sub, however I thought Burrow was having one of his better games at hooker so didn't mind the-still-to-impress Falloon not getting on.

Kick on and move up the table?

It will likely just be a punctuation mark in another losing run as our next games include saints, warrington wigan and huddserfield. None at headingley.

Who do huddersfield play at magic weekend? How the f*ck were those fixtures decided again?

well played leeds

McDermott didn't seem happy after game. Mentioned stuff going on behind the scenes in his usual cryptic way, but sounded like he had had enough to me.

Maybe just me reading too much into it.

Next two games dictate how the season goes. Saints are a bit weird, last week look very good beating Warrigton away, last night look very poor losing to Catalans. They've turned into a very Jekyll and Hyde team and IF it's a dry day and we can pass it around we saw last year that they don't like facing that against us.

Then Hudds, won tonight but obviously still hasn't been a great season for them. Us vs them is always close so could come down to one bad decision or error.

It wasn't really picked up at the time (because of our situation and a loss) but I remember he said something similar after one of the first defeats of the year (can't remember which one) and I thought at the time is he not entirely happy with the behind the scenes stuff.

Most agree he's a very stubborn guy, so if he isn't being signed the players he wants, or allowed to sell the players he wants then how long does a very stubborn guy put up with that? Remember this is a guy who apparently REFUSES to have an assistant, if he can refuse an assistant then why would he put up with not having the squad he wants?
