Penalised for tackling under the armpit. RIP Rugby League

How can the commentary team call this a great game, just because it's close. Are we going down smiths assertion that because anyone can beat anyone that the comps in great health.

cam.smith has killed every move tonight

Where’s he made a penalty up from that?

Took the words right out of my mouth

Lose tonight and we are 4 points off 6th (which at the start of the season I would have said was the absolute minimum that could be acceptable). We’re 2 points of 10th if we lose. We haven’t won a CC game for 3 years, is that good enough? If not what will change?

Welsby apart shocking standard all round. We are clueless with the ball. Saints not much better and the Ref had a shocker.

The Standard of Leeds and the referee was shocking

Poor but Welsby was the difference

We are shte. 2 games running with everything in our favour to get into the top 6 and we play like amateurs. Absolute bollox leeds. Seasons done.

Expectations lowering every year in a league that gets weaker every year. We're going backwards, add another 5 more years to the transition it'll be alright.

Didn't help that the ref gave them absolutely everything in the second half, embarrassingly poor officiating

Too many of the pivotal or high paid paid players just haven’t performed tonight. And it’s not fair to just level it at the likes of Sezer. Oldezki really should have been putting his mark on this game, he didn’t. Cam Smith stifled so much of the ball tonight it wasn’t even funny.

There were some positives, Macdonald continues to prove value, same with McDonnell. I thought Johnson added off the bench. But the bottom line at the minute is we aren’t performing like a team that belongs in the playoffs often enough.

Having said all that, the ruck was atrocious tonight and despite some good skill and a tight affair, I’d hate to have tried to watch that as a neutral or someone new to the game.

Got what we deserved. Again.

Happening too often.

Scrappy game, neither team played well, not one to usually mention the ref but he had a shocker.

Games truly gone soft if that Holdroyd tackle on Bell is a high shot

Watched second half. That was painful enough.

Once again we were totally lacking energy and guidance. Why do we have wingers? We hardly use them. It's middle middle middle.

What pump ref again from Thaler. Blokes a douche

The ref didn't manage the ruck well and saints got some calls, but if id score him a 6/10 I'm giving leeds a generous 4.

It is beyond me that we are so bad yet the recruitment for next year is non existent apart from another French plodder/journeyman .

Utter rubbish yet again

If you need your attack slowed down, Cam Smiths your man, heaven forbid playing with a bit of pace when you can trudge it up the middle at the pace of a snail every set.

The ruck in SL is awful

Jack Welsby the difference tonight, without Newman we just haven’t got that X Factor

Both the Macs were superb

Austins not doing his contract negotiations any good, that kick out on the full was atrocious play

I'm sure the usual suspects will make excuses but it's crap. bloody garbage most weeks. the odd brilliant display gets lost amongst the rubbish. Time for change from top to bottom.
hetherington is most culpable, recruitment and coach selections been embarrassing for years. smith, I thought had turned a corner but really he simply isn't good enough. nowhere near

You don’t know what the recruitment is its July

Macdonald and McDonnell with their usual good game, Walters was good in the first half.

Not sure about Johnson tho, think he makes a lot of poor decisions, going on his own etc when nothings on, obvs he wants to make an impact but needs to choose bett

Nothing changes until the recruitment is put into better hands. I don't know how a lot of you think we're ever moving forward with these clowns in charge. We're just repeating the same mistakes.

Seth ," did not manage the ruck well" . He effing ignored it totally , he was as bad as Leeds and they did not deserve a 4
