came back from a bad loss in 2007,but I now fear the worst and I'm glad I didnt book a flight over.We are not going to go from "worst to first in 7 days"

Indeed, I'd love Leeds to play like this again next week but I'm 99% sure they won't.

Watkins carried off. No chance for him next week although he was having a nightmare

The one player I feel Leeds have missed this week is Jamie Jones-Buchanan who has come into a bit of form this season. His efforts to kick start the Leeds rampage last week were awesome. Other than that I pretty much agree with you that Leeds have a chance next week and my comment was heat of the moment. It’s going to be a dilemma for many Rhinos fans this week who won’t know whenever to be depressed over what happened today or draw some optimism out of bright points this season.

How embarassing. Hetherington wants to start looking a bit closer to home for his reasons why people aren't buying Wembley tickets. Marketing people are going to have to do one hell of a job if they want to retain the season ticket holders they have as well.

Never mind....GH will cheer us up in the biuld up to Wembley by announcing Terrence Seu Seu and/or Tony Martin to add to our strength for 2012

A real shame because that lad is a real talent IMO.

Who are your other options at centre?

Delaney.

The comeback is on

I heard we have re-signed Jamie Mathiou to bolster our pack as we don't have enough props for next season. We did approach Gary Mercer but he didn't want to drop down a step in quality.

depends if we want to keep Delaney in the 2nd row. If we do Smith will be at centre, if not Ablett and Delaney for Wembley

He's been superb in the second row though (from what I've seen anyway). It would be a shame to see him back in the centres (from a Leeds POV).

petty there's not 20 mins to go

I don't think there is a chance he will play Smith (and neither does he looking at his twitter). It will be Delaney and Ablett.

Once again, too little too late.

Lets hope they've got the bad game out of the way before next week. I know ever the optimist!!!

First double over the rhinos since 1996. Oh Dear.............

F*ucking dreadful !

Never good to see someone miss Wembley through injury, happened to Steve Hampson three times.

I think the scoreline flattered us somewhat. Sounded dreadful.

had a 50/50 forward pass not gone against us in the last 2 mins it would have been 4 trys in about 6 mins and a final score of 32-28 which us even more frustrating.

We were tripe but yet had we started playing 5 mins earlier we would have snatched this game at the death, a bit like Wakey away the other year where we scored 3 trys in last 8 mins to win it in last minute with the Scotty D try in the corner

Burrow was IMO the main instigator of the 'fight back' Surely he has to start next week and put Mags back on bench?

Next week is going to be embarrassing for RL

This thread is embarrassing

Or the weird notion of playing McGuire at 6, Burrow at 7 and Sinfield at 13.
