Our aim is to peak for the important games which makes trying to win the less important ones while holding a lot back a fine balancing act. Some we'll win and some we'll lose which is what's been happening this season. To some extent this is fine, providing we perform when it matters most. So far, we have. Sooner or later, we won't.

Is this approach fair on the fans? It's up to you whether you go or not.

How is it proved wrong at the end of the year?

Surely it can only be proved wrong If Leeds win and the poster said they wouldn't win anything. Of course neither been done yet.

I am complaining about the performances each week, rather than what happens at the end of the season. Part time supporters like you who are only rolling on the badwagon for the big games, fair enough it would not bother them. But for people who pay out money each week, it does.

Cheers.

I have to disagree with you. I'm a season ticket holder and go to virtually all away games and am willing to put up with poorer performances earlier on in the season if it means we can challenge for honours consistently later in the season. After all in years to come what will you remember, a poor performance in June against Crusaders or a Challenge Cup Final in August / Grand Final in October?

It isn't. It's idiotic to call this team embarrassing because they didn't put 60 unanswered points past Salford. It's idiotic to write of this team on the basis of the 1st half and ignore the 2nd half. It's idiot to learn nothing from the past three seasons.

And that's your choice and opinion, your perfectly entitled to it. My choice is that I would rather watch a team giving value for money and win nothing. But like you said, you go to virtually all the games, the other poster moaning does not.

I think there is a difference though to poor early season performances, and what we have this year. If we were to take all the League games added together, I would guess we have not produced more than 100 minutes of quality rugby throughout all of them. We are now at the back end of the season, and still the defence looks as poor as it has throughout the whole of the year.

One of my most enjoyable games this year was the first 40 minutes away at Wigan, where despite an extremly under strength side out there we played good rugby and more than matched Wigan in that first half. That sort of effort and quality has been rare from the Senior players at the club this year.

Just gone through the whole 6 pages of the thread, and not found one single poster who as said we were an embarrassment for not scoring 60 unanswered points, nor a poster who has written off the team this year.

So do you want to clarify and quote the posts that you are referring to above? or have you just done a big dummy spit?

And I can attest that, as usual, he is very accurate in everything he has written.

I'm in your camp. I spent many, many years being entertained by some great players at Leeds who won fook all. I like winning. This squad has a winning mentality about it. I'll take that.

My god! Is it terminal?

TBF he has a point. They are a vile lot. 1 guy was wearing a gray hooded top with a green t-shirt... I mean come on. How can he be a Rhinos fan if he wasnt wearing a shirt. I reckon he was just there to cause trouble.

Someone has to carry some clout round here.

Laters homey.

Who has suggested that? I don't know if it was aimed at me but I called the first half embarrassingly poor. I was talking about this game in isolation. If the 2nd half performance was the same as the first half we'd have lost and the players played like they realised that and the half-time talk was obviously very effective. I don't think we should be putting 60 unanswered points past Salford but I know we're better than that 1st half.

It's perfectly understandable for us to be below par for most of the season, that's accepted now, but based on the standards this team has set, the 2nd half was probably what we would call below par (maybe that's a bit harsh, but I still think there's more in reserve) and the 1st was terrible.

That doesn't for one minute change the fact that I believe we can win the GF again, and I imagine the same goes for most on here.

£40K fine.

Its not on is it

I endorse TVOC's assessment of your contribution & I agree with it too FWIW.

I was stood to the left hand side of the posts halfway to the touch line & didn't notice anything too offensive.
The constant shouts of "forward" whilst initially faintly amusing quickly became tiresome with constant repetition.
I swore to myself on numerous occasions when we dropped the ball or gave way stupid penalties (Burgess!!) but didn't notice any racist or unPC singing.
Care to explain?

No, hes a disgrace to the Leeds club

couldn't agree more

I can appreciate and enjoy brilliant rugby played by any team, including Leeds.

I struggle to find satisfaction in another club's winning.

Therein lies the distinction.

anyone know who he is? Maybe he posts on here. I know a few of the " barmy army" do.

But give Burgess was our top tackler with 31!

You're not a true supporter. All you do is whinge after every game and write the team off.

I'd done 29 years home and away before I went part time so shove it up your ar5e.
