Gitcha - I guess the problem is if you drop Myler because of defence, do we lose too much if his replacement isn't a proper halfback (or just as bad in defence if its Lolohea)? My own view is that Furner ought to be trying to have a proper look at McLelland this season. I hear the 'not ready' stuff but he'll be 20 later this year and we need to know if he is going to be part of the future or not.

50 tackles a game is horrendous. What gets me even more than the numbers is just the nature of some of the tries we've let in. Against Huddersfield out of the three tries, from memory two were awful - one a scoot from acting half met by a couple of defenders who fail to stop the ball (again!!), and the other down our right where it was clear our line was just in utter disarray. I've no doubt the stats will pick up 1 'missed tackle' for the scoot, but its insufficient to register how awful that defence is. The second probably doesn't even get picked up by any stat.

I'm pretty sure that James Maloney has stated that he wants to finish his career in Super League. Wishful thinking of course but he is just the kind of tough organising half-back that would make a big difference to us.

Could not get to the game, watched the highlights, jeez there first try was poor ball goes to ground and everyone gives up, second one well intercepts sometimes just happen. The BJB one Tui again shocking attempt at tackle from a professional RL player. at least 2 trys should have been avoided and we win that.

Yep you are right two Leeds tries with clear forward passes given!

I thought at half time Leeds would win it given the first half pressure, that said looking back Leeds were very poor overall against a weak Wakey team full of team spirit.

And that's the issue. Wakey had more spirit. Which comes from the coach.

Think Leeds may just have to take another dreadful season on the chin. Clearly the problems go back a few years with a lack of succession planning. 2017 papered over the cracks really but there were some dreadful performances out there yesterday. I was expecting to be soundly beaten but your senior players just aren't fit, stepping up or both.

From my view the game turned back in our favour during an arm wrestle in the middle at the start of the 2nd half when you didn't seem to have the heart for the fight.

Good balanced post. Most would agree. When the going gets tough we get gone.

This was a game there for us if we wanted it and that coupled with the Hudds win and or this week could have pushed us away from London and relegation.

Hats off to you though, you played smarter. I like smart teams.

Watching the match back, Bish swatted Lolohea off with embarassing ease after catching him out of position - this earned Lolohea a right gobfull from one of your other backs who looked totally p'd off with him. There's just no way he should be playing fullback, even if he got himself fit.

He's been a poor signing so far that for certain, has time to improve.
