It's come to something when a 30 second clip of Leeds scoring a try triggers some of our fans.

Its ridiculous, I'd worry about my mental health if something like that was affecting me.

Totally agree with you .

It would be better though if the club reached out to the Fans more as we are losing supporters who have supported the club for years ( not just the Golden years ) and the lack of new supporters and youngsters coming to the home games is a long term worry .
Our away support is dreadful and that is all down to G.H

Reach out to the fans more in what way?

How do you know its all down to Hetherington? You dont think the cost of living crisis has anything to do with it, or the product on the pitch, its just GH's fault?

it's probably just filling in on non news days

Its all about consistency, the more content you pump out the more likely someone is going to see something they want to engage with, for example, like reply or share, this will then show up on other peoples time lines, and reach new audiences with the potential to grow the Rhinos brand.

Now now mate, no need for that. Just saying how it makes me feel. It's a bit tone deaf imo and i'm fed up of it. This decline has gone on too long. I've been going to games for nearly 40 years so i have a right to be peed off.

I do actually think Rhinos social media is good on the whole and one of the best in SL

But why is it tone deaf though? I cannot understand why they shouldnt be posting on social media because weve lost some games and the season isnt going as supporters and the club hoped.
I really like the try of the day videos, its nostalgia and brings back good memories.

If other clubs did it and we didnt supporters would moan that our social media isnt good enough and the club arent putting enough effort in.

In some peoples eyes the club just cannot do anything right.

It's not that we have 'just lost some games'.... the loss against Wakefield and Cas were absolutely shocking and up there with the most embarrassing of the last 15 years. Quite rightly many fans are fuming about it and just where we are currently as a team. It's simply not good enough and it keeps happening and happening. I think videos like that, at this certain period aren't great.. many fans are raging.

Anyway, that's in my opinion and some others on here. There's no wrong or wright. Move on.

Are you still raging about those two defeats?

I was annoyed at the time but probably after an hour after the game i had moved on with my life and left those feelings there.

Lifes too short to hold on to anger, especially when its just a game.

No I’m not

After tonight its obvious where we go - get rid of the useless trainee coach we have at the moment , and bring in the Master - Uncle Tony !!!!

I honestly feel like Leeds is turning into a big corparate money machine. Can't remember the last time Garry got us a star player or big coach that impressed people. My opinion on the reason why is that all he cares about is money and not about the rugby team on the pitch, every single week it feels like we release a new merch line that people buy, we average the highest home attendance in super league consistently, really sponsor friendly atm with ooohhh look at us we have a womens team, disabled team, netball team ect. what an inclusive and family friendly club. We clearly have a good cash inflow, GH is filling his pockets quite nicely as he runs the club well off the pitch and is able to make money regardless of performances. If he has lost passion or enjoyment for the game ( not a stretch at all for someone 68/69 who has been involved in rugby for so long ) then why should he invest in the team if supporters still buy tickets, merch and food/drink. We arent bad enough to get relegated either.

This idea is of course all speculation from myself but to be honest it has become a genuine concern for me recently with how the club is being run. Ownership genuinely seems not to care that we are average and I fear us turning into another Hull FC, fairly big club that sits in mid table and does nothing.

If any hopes of play off were slim there all but mathematically done now.

At least 6-7 players just not good enough, and no sign of any quality players coming in.
Very very concerning and no sign that we can be a force for a long while yet.

The only hope is that the standard of the League is so poor , it eventually reaches down to our level

If we make the right signings we'd be competitive very quickly. Get a full back and halfback as good as Weslby and Lam in our team and we'd have won easily today. Our spine is just generally poor far too often. Austin had those two good games on the bounce but far too often is part of the problem and Sezer just looks as bad as he did before Smith arrived. Myler will look OK again when the others play well, but he has never shown any ability to drag the team to a win.

The question is whether we can/will make the right signings.

Yeah that's a huge IF. No sign of it happening going by announcements being slow and by the players we're being linked with.

no faith in the leadership or coaching team. can't see anything but poor standards for the next few years

I can’t see it happening but I would focus on
1. Top class half back (ideally 2 but never going to happen). Someone who can control a game and direct our attack and usurp Cam Smith from calling our plays.
2. Full back who presents a line breaking threat. I think on if our biggest attributes at the end of last season as that Hardaker could beat a man on kick returns. Now we are stuck with Myler not beating a man/making yards on tackle one followed by two outside backs running into a set defence. My left field call would be Nene McDonald at full back as he is one of the very few who looks like they can beat a man!
3. One strike runner (either centre/second row). ODonnell has probably been our player of the season so far, but if we persist with him with Bentley/Gannon/Martin we have no real threat in attack. Hopefully Newman can get fit but no guarantees and we currently only give McDonald ball inside our own 20.

More likely we will make some very limited signings and hope for the best. I would have liked to have kept Walters, but I don’t think our prop rotation is too bad. I’m personally not Rohan’s biggest fan but I don’t see anyone on the market that would be guaranteed to be better at this moment. One of my issues is his attack relies on quick ball and high level execution which I don’t think our current squad has and his passive defence style never gets on top though rarely do we get absolutely hammered (on the scoreboard).

That's a big IF. The league is a really poor standard and it isn't improving and we still stink out the place. We have the most money, some of the best facilities, a proper youth academy and we still can't compete. The club leadership is awful.

I think we've got a big problem with ambition.
Saints, Cats, Wire and Wigan are all massively ambitious and want to finish top of the league.
They're all going out and making big signings and pushing to the be the best.
Our ambition as a club is to scrape into the top 6.
8th is about where we are.
We're battling away in that middle group with Salford, Hull, Rovers and Hudds.
These days, finishing 6th would be considered success.
Whatever signings we do make will be for the big push to move up from 8th to 6th.

I don't disagree with the apparent lack of ambition. Ever since the latter part of McDermott's reign we seem to have accepted mediocrity. When we were right in relegation fights GH never seemed to be angry about it or push the fact that it was simply not good enough. The attitude from the top seems to have infected the players as well, for years now. We had a reasonable turnover of players last year, but the team still seems to accept rubbish as being OK.

Like I said, bring in a couple of genuine quality players and we'd be a different beast. But they also need to bring the winning attitude or they'll end up being dragged down by the rest of the squad. Hastings is exactly the sort of halfback we need, at least in terms of attitude.

Simply not good enough since 2017. Poor cheap recruitment from Hetherington to blame. I for one would love nothing more than a new Chief now. Too old too out of touch but too stubborn to accept it I'm afraid. As long as he's topping his pension pot up this will continue. 9/21 Inc cup so far this season and it seems very little is been done to rectify things moving forward. Think it's time opinions were heard starting at the two upcoming home games.Totally unacceptable.

We aren’t often getting hammered this year but these close losses have been really costly. 2-3 improved first team players and we’re probably running in the top 4 at this point; some on here are way too negative.

We do have some good talent in the system coming through. If (and as others have said it is a big if) we can make those 2-3 real high quality additions I think we will look much more competitive very quickly from here, and with more talent coming through.

Gannon, Simpson, Sinfield are all good prospects on the fringe of first grade and I expect a few more like the McCormacks might be knocking on the door within 2 years.

Everything rests on getting the right quality in for next season - and not committing overly long contracts to project players which then ties us in knots for future recruitment.
