Hope we can match the off the cuff plays with getting some basics sorted

I'm not sure Macdonald was onside there

Discipline letting us down again there.

We look too vulnerable out wide defensively.

The only time we ever show any line speed is at scrums, and we get caught offside every time.

This is becoming a familiar theme.
Teams are going the full length of the field and scoring in one set.
We're easy to score against.

Wow - that's the best thing Tetevano has done in a Leeds shirt!!

I like a lot of what Smith has us doing but giving up so much ground so easily is a killer against good sides and he needs to look again at this theory

Video refs bummed us there

We are indeed a basket case as I first said.

Correct Seth.
We are not going to win many games with these tactics.

Absolutely killing ourselves

We're a calamity

It's alright attacking with no inhibition but fk me it's worth nothing when you can't get the basic graft done. Chaos

Was really optimistic about our chance here and season in general, we are f**king . Sezar should never play again not that he’s playing anyway.

I disagree with comments so far. Been a really good game. Think we’ve actually been but unlucky, and a few poor errors costing us big time. Exciting watch though…..

If we could defend there's some real quality there. But our defence is simply dreadful

Winning games is about what you do without the ball as well though shabs, and that's been awful

On a side note, it's nice to see Mcllorum hasn't changed...

The honeymoon period is over now for Smith.
Let the opposition go full length of the pitch in one set and hope we can defend our line and then rely on scoring desperation, hollywood tries.
If these really are the tactics then we are in trouble.

Yeah, been poor but don’t think Ref helped us at all. They are slowing it down ++ and getting away with it. We are getting pinged….
If we can cut errors and get some momentum second half, still think we’ve got a chance.

Not prepared to do the dirty work - all this short kick off and ‘imagination’ is simply just a cop out. For a team that can’t defend we spend far too much time in our own 40 and it’s mainly our own doing. It’s weak and soft.

Well what a mess. Mixture of being very unlucky with some quite frankly baffling decisions from the ref and video ref and some out and out dumb rugby in defence and attack.

Pearce try was a double movement all day long. Tetavano try was a flat pass. Smith needs to stop right now with all these short kick offs. It’s inviting pressure. Their second try was down to being too passive in defence, Fusitua position was awful.

That 6 again rule is all wrong. Catalan get a huge advantage by holding us down on the line so they can reset and tackle us behind the goal line. Wants scrapping immediately. We should have had a penalty for holding down not a 6 again where the team that’s committed the foul gets rewarded

Re the Martin blunder, the tackler Davies is a marker stood a good metre to the side of the PTB. Can't the video ref rule it out on those grounds?

Agreed
