Defence was pathetic. Weak & gutless.

Those that appointed Furner are just as bad now for not dismissing him. Just how much face must be lost before Furner gets the elbow? Not enough I imagine.
It's going to take a limpet mine to get rid of him.

I bet Brian McDermott is either laughing his socks off or in total shock at how poor Leeds are.

we were as bad when he was coach in the last year. short memories

Anyone who thinks Lolohea is FB should be made to watch that game again - he is petrified of the high ball and his positioning is non existent. Virtually every try he was getting bounced off as the player is scoring.

That is debateable to say the least. To think he took this shower to a GF 2 years ago and won it.

It just feels like I'm watching the slow death of my club. Something has to change, but what?

Myler and Suttcliffe are more than likely the worst pair of halfs in the league, they lack just about every basic you would expect in a halfback, mylers also missing more tackles than just about anybody in the league. While them 2 are our starting halves, we'r going to be a rubbish team.

Contrast that to Salford, who on paper have an absolutely woeful team but have two good halves, Hastings very good and it shows how important the 6 + 7 are, theyr competitive and more than capable of knocking any team off.

Mylers last two and half super league seasons over 2 different teams have seen him in the million pound game, the middle eights and 2 points off bottom.....

When i hear Furner mention the likes of Myler and Ferres as leaders and players we need back when they miss a game, it hits home at how far we'v fallen, theyr 2 of the worst players in the league at there positions.

hard to make a silk purse out of a sows ear. turners position is under debate but boy fo we need a huge clear out. he took jjb off and never brought him back. gor a reason. he is sadly embarassing himself. I wish he had retired with burrow and mags

Did the club approach any other coaches or did they just identify Furner as who they wanted and head hunted him? We may survive this year, but if this continues what about next ?

I cany blame any Leeds player for being scared under the high ball because the 10 players in front of the winger and full back whistle job it is to get in front of the catcher and protect don't bother and allow the opposition to run through unopposed. Its absolutely pathetic and has been going on for too long. Bout time players did their jobs.

And you can say the exact same thing about Sutcliffe at stand off, shocking. So if really have to play Lolohea put him where he was signed for, or bin off. Sutcliffe had a decent game second row week before, he is a terrible half.

Halfs full stop a massive issue for us, more so than forwards.

Sign Hastings!

I think we would if we could

JJB was injured. Nerve damage.

Salford are virtually safe from relegation and completely skint. Hastings is likely to leave at the end of the year for free. I don’t see how Salford could turn down a transfer fee of a couple of hundred thousand and Lolohea part exchange. We desperately need a player like Jackson Hastings, come on GH and SKS, make it happen.

100% agree,my thinking,3800 there last night?

I know it's not their primary role in a team, but we desperately need a half who can defend

We need a half that can do anything positive, ours are woeful, absolutely woeful. Mylers stat sheet is embarrassing, missed tackles, errors etc. On the eye test of watching games, he's even worse.

Il hold my hand up, i was happy when we signed him, i was wrong.

Suttcliffes not a half so im not getting into his failings as a half, his problem is he's not really an anything. Probably in our last grand final run was the best iv seen him play since his bad injury.

we are trying to fit players that are not up to scratch in key positions, walker is a good full back but is still learning and when he is out we have to pick golding as he is the next best defensively [ i'd even consider sutcliffe there as he did ok when required
in the halves we simply do not have 2 players in the squad good enough to hold down the shirt in either position
would moving parcell or dwyer in at 6 or 7 makes us defend better and maybe partner one of those with ward when fit?
every team we play knows where to target, we are soft down the middle and really soft on goal line defence
while i can understand the furner out brigade its not down to him, he inherited a squad of players which are not up to scratch and we need to judge him at this stage next year once we have got rid of the dead wood and he has signed players he wants

we were dead for 20 years alive for 20

Just watched the highlights. Tui's effort for that first try is beyond embarrassing. He actually backs away from catching the ball and attempting to make a tackle. Get rid. So much work to do in terms of recruitment it's unreal and worrying. How has it come to this i wonder? Huge changes needed.

I agree, he stepped out way. But JJB effort in first two try’s is even more embarrassing.

Lolohea was awful on that try. But the goal line defence is simply ridiculous. One barge over try every 4 or 5 games you can live with, but we're letting in often 2 or 3 a game.

Spot on
