I bet Yorkshire Radio has never had a response like this to any of it's threads.

Fwiw BR i can see yours and others concerns at the repeated errors and poor passing/defence we've witnessed at times this year.
I think Brian Mc has given the go-ahead to off-load etc etc but he can't be blamed for seasoned pro's making basic mistakes ,hospital passes and trying to score off every set.
He deserves at least this year imo and the chance to have a full squad available before we write him or the team off imo.
Sinfield in YEP last week touched on the players taking responsibillity for their mistakes and i think that's about right.
loads of work to be done still but we can see they are trying to play a different way to what we produced under Bluey and when not if we cut out the mistakes we can match anyone.

I'll give that response the consideration it deserves.

So, back to your worries. I repeat, what are the "continuing trends we don't seem to be able to fix" and how did they manifest themselves today?

You also appear to be missing the point entirely.

Relax.

BTW, for those who did actually see the game, how did Kirke do? Was he busy with the ball this week?

In fairness to him his mind is all over the place. He's still very worried about the "continuing trends we don't seem to be able to fix" and not seeing today's game hasn't helped him allay those worries.

Inability to hold the ball and build pressure.
Lack of discipline with the ball avoiding throwing "miracle passes" which frequently lead to turning over possession.
Lack of discipline in defence, not conceding too many penalties. I see dissent raised it's head again today.
Lack of structure to attacking play.

All of the above were abundantly clear from the radio commentary, regardless of Keith's agenda, and none of them are contradicted by the comments of those who went to the game and have subsequently given their views.

If you want to look for a positive, we hald the worst attacking team in the league to one try, but gave them so much possession on our line that's a miracle.

I think the OP on the "Wigan" thread tells us all much of what we should think of his views on most things SL related






I do agree with his last sentence though

Can't disagree with your views at all

Big improvement needed next week then against Wigan

Did'nt play due to a stomach bug.

Hilarious talking to a couple of Wakey fans after the game. They were perplexed as to how the ref can get all the calls right in the first half, and get them all wrong in the second.

Ah. Hope it's not too serious but as a concern for the lads health no point rushing him back too soon.

Give him till about November.

He didn't play. You'd have known this had you listened to the commentary

What about Ali?

Ah, I see. Well, try not to let it worry you. Worrying won't change anything.

I wish I could help you but I didn't go and didn't listen.

Still, in simple terms we conceded only 6 points and won a game so there's a couple of trends broken if you need cheering up.

Had the same walking out of the ground mate he was spot on until someone from Leeds "had a word" at half time ,we did chuckle!

Probably not actually. If you listen to the commentary when he is playing how many times does his name get mentioned?

Calf strain/tear

Great, now you have said that, I look forward to a really close game against Wigan, and Leeds emerging victorious after putting in a vastly improved performance.

There you go. I made your week better. No need for thanks, lunch will do.

Of course, making your weekend is someone else's responsibility so don't moan at me if we get trounced Friday night.

Harlequins RL kept us scoreless until the 79th minute in April 09 at Headingley.

What agenda?

This was a thread which initially contained contributions by people who were listening to commentary of the game on the radio.

At no stage did it ever pretend to be anything other than that, despite the sanctimonious appearance of one particular individual who decided to derail the thread with his [i"I attended the game therefore..."[/i agenda.

Nice effort. Had you and our other radio experts been complaining about the quality of the commentary, you might have a point. But you weren't, you were commenting about the Leeds performance.

Those who went have, quite rightly quashed your agenda and those who dance to the tune of your flute.

Relax.

It's only Wigan next week.

And if you take notice of our resident five year old behaviourist, Wigan are shot to pieces and Warrington are now the real deal. His ability to reach such a rapid conclusion on the basis of one solitary game or performance is a knee-jerking joy to behold



OTOH, he could be just posting with other agendae in mind

"You twist and turn, like a twisty turny thing" Keith.

So nice to see that you have obviously dropped your previous trolling persona in favour of a new more genuine bona fide version.
