2 weeks to prepare against a depleted Saints side and we get beat. Deary deary me… this is just not acceptable. Absolutely fed up of it

If Saints were unhappy with the Asiata tackles they forgot to tell Bell.
Nothing in either of those sort of tackles.
Smith had a terrible game but has in the past been the only player with a brain.
Yes Bentley came out of the line to put pressure on Lomax and it didn`t work that time.
But he put pressure on him several times before that and completely put Lomax off his game.
Halves once again not controlling the game and if in doubt we give it to MacDonald.
O`Connor poor and Johnson only slightly better.
Unfortunately Tomkins Mark 2 was the difference.
Playing a team after a semi final loss was a good opportunity for us to bag the 2 points but it took us 15 minutes to wake up.
Salford and KR deserve to be in the playoffs ahead of us.

That’s sport and especially this year it’s unpredictable

All the we should have won this and that game scenario is not true , we have not won them because we are not good enough or clever enough , not because we have been unlucky

It is not that unpredictable as we are usually rubbish

Just to add, i was never in the give Austin what he wants camp and im even less in it now

If it’s possible to replace him and Sezer id be doing it, you know me im not doom and gloom but I do think we need to sort the halfback situation out

That is sport but its also very leeds. And can you see us moving forward with the evidence based on this year.

Yet we’ve hammered the league leaders, battered Wigan and Warrington beaten Saints at home and lost to the bottom 2 we aren’t that predictable

Christopher, we often see different sides of the same coin and I respect your view. How do you see this Leeds team, the coaching staff and the prospects for the next year or two?

As you know, I’m concerned that we are not making enough progress quickly enough, we seem to be either accepting of mediocrity, or there isn’t enough drive to make the changes that could lead to an improvement in fortunes.

How do you see the current position (league and progress) and how do you assess the prospects for the next two years?

Depends on recruitment and if the younger players kick on more, we won’t move forward unless we get at least one consistent decent halfback

Why post under the name Christopher , You are either Gary or Rohan

The last 10 years of history show our young players rarely improve , maybe Walters apart

He does that a lot

Honestly I don’t know until we see what we’ve got player wise for the next two years.

We have got a young squad, I do think that will pay off but I do think we need two better half acks then a Full back to replace Myler im not overly worried about the other positions.

I may get shot down for this but im not overly fussed about this year because I can see a path forward which I haven’t in the last 6 years. The whole set up has changed and I think it will bear fruit as annoying as it is at the moment.

Predictable in that we will lose a good few more games than we win, regardless of a few exceptions where we actually care to turn up. One thing that is predictable is you can see a performance coming from the first few minutes. It was nailed on we would play poor from the manner of the first 2 penalties we conceded. We're crap christopher and a good way of being even mid table.

And I believe that is actually changing.

I would struggle to make a case for any of Austin, Sezer, Fusitua or Tet getting a new contract. I've no idea who's available but there must be better options out there for the kind of money those 4 will be on.

I don’t think the squad is good enough this year ill agree on that.

I admire your patience and optimism, I guess we will have to wait and see. My view is a little less rosy, but we have tried to change direction with the coaching. I suppose after so much success, and then so many false starts, I’m not as trusting of those in charge as you are. Time will tell.

I'll be honest, I'm not seeing where the optimism around our direction of travel is coming from there. It's not the performances that's for sure.

Your spine was atrocious tonight.

Id keep Fusitua but only on vastly reduced terms, that’s only because I think recruiting is priority in other positions, the rest you mentioned can go for me.

Apart from Welsby so was Saints, Dodd has gone dramatically downhill he was terrible

Because im not judging what could be on some games this year, I don’t think the squad is good enough - this year.

Apart from his injuries Fusitua has been a disappointment for me. Sign another centre and play Macdonald on the wing or a better winger that's less injury prone. I appreciate tonight's injury was unavoidable but he was injury prone when we signed him.
