It's early days yet but Richie Myler seems in pole position,maybe even Trent Merrin if Furner keeps playing him at prop. I've always been slightly underwhelmed with Singleton,seems I'm not the only one. Ferres could be in there too but personally I think he will get better as the season progresses.

Loloheas saddlebags

Jack walker

Had to laugh at 'turd' in someone starting 13. Turd actually looks in good nick now finally and had a decent game.

Myles runs to lateral , kicking game shocking and looked uninterested

Ferres was in good shape last season, one of the few Leeds forwards playing 80 minutes, even in the heat of the summer. You can argue he wasn't very effective but after being vastly overweight in his first season he addressed that last year.

Jack Walker, Richie Myler and Brett Ferres look to be this seasons scapegoats

Wait til JJB is holding up player development and giving away penalties in the process. A good outside bet, I reckon.

Myler ain't a scapegoat for u he just isn't a game controlling halfback...put someone with a decent kicking game next to him he'll go okay as he did with briers and Walsh...

So can't control a game and can't kick!

That was mine & up until Friday that's exactly how he's performed.
One good game doesn't erase 3yrs of guff either but i'll be chuffed to bits to see him show it week in week out now afterall we did sign an England BR.

Myler is the kind of player who needs careful matching with the players around him to counterbalance his weaknesses a bit. Probably not a half to take Leeds back into top 4 territory but right now we have other bigger problems to sort out.
Scapegoat for this season is surely Brian McDermott still...?

You are right in some respects re. Ferres. I will say that we should cut players some slack when they’re injured; they play busted and probably build up physical problems which are lifelong.
BUT I also think as a professional sportsman in an endurance and power sport like RL, there is no excuse for being fat. It’s your job.

Poppycock

Richie Myler has regressed massively since leaving Warrington, took Catalan to the Million pound game and Leeds from a GF to the middle 8's.

Yes it was all down to Myler - he even won player of the year fr his efforts.

I actually think he's been on the decline since leaving Salford, but I think he can still be effective if we manage to lay a platform for him.

Anyone on the basis of the opening two games scapegoating Merrin, Walker or Ferres are deluded and do not understand the game or what they are watching.

Myler has been very poor. I wouldn't call his criticism scapegoating he just simply has not been good enough. He gets caught in two minds to often and plays break down too often due to him holding on to the ball for too long. I still think he deserves a few more games with Lolohea though. but if he doesn't improve it will not be long before Callum Mac is called upon.

100% accurate

That's a posh insult for the Leeds Rhinos forum mate

2 games in. Both away. Both against last season's grandfinalists. Lots of new players. New coach. Backroom overhaul.

Yep let's all rub our little hands together and see who we can blame. Let's do it quick before any combinations work or we look anything like the team we can be. Quick quick, pick someone.

Dull.

Whose this week's scapegoat folks? Pah

Sutcliffe, of course

McDermott
