Really out enthusing us here Leeds. Their defence has been tough and they’re hammering us with high bombs. They’ve adjusted to the conditions and are using it to their strengths. We just haven’t got going at all.

And putting one prop on the bench is ridiculous in these conditions. Games like these need experienced front rowers rotating on and off. With Havard going off injured we’re now really up against it.

Starting set of forwards should be embarrassed, they've been destroyed.

"Powderpuff" as Wigan/Leeds Andy would say

Days like today are all about game plan & team selection. Once again Lam shows why he couldn’t lace the boots of Shaun Wane.

497m vs 164m

WTF

Embarrassing, don’t think I’ve ever seen a worse half in a semi final. What have they even been doing all week??

I’m not sure you can blame the coach, their forwards are bigger meter makers, Gale is better kicking out of hand than any of our players and we are getting out enthused, Leeds are smelling blood here. The only issue I have with Lam is not going with a bigger bench but that hasn’t really affected the game...yet.

When it really counts, a Lam team never seals the deal does it?

That’s a knock on, he’s travelled forward a few meters in the air so of course it’s gonna land behind him.

Agree. It's not *just* a case of Leeds' more powerful forwards, they have been better in every department.

Good job we played that weakened side against Saints, eh?

I'd like to say this one was going to plan, except that there doesn't seem to be one.

Pummelled in every department so far, Leeds have been superb.

Game over!

Pack not good enough or big enough not been for years

Game plan and game management.

Leeds adjusted to the conditions. We haven’t. Leeds for the first 10-15mins ground it out and did the tough stuff using high bombs and tough defence with a team experienced enough to do so. Games like today need experienced props, so in typical Lam fashion what does he do? Put 3 young and inexperienced props in the 17 leaving out Flower and to a much lesser extent Clark.

Our game plan is the same as it is when it’s a dry track. We’ve not been in their 20mtrs yet! And you’re not sure if we can blame Lam?

The reserves fronted up better on Tuesday against a much better pack.

Imagine how bad this would be if they hadn't all had a rest?

Fans on here have done nothing but call Clark and Flower, and rightly so on most instances. No way can you think 1. Lam should have picked those 2 and 2. They would have actually made a difference.

Apalling so far. Getting bossed in every area by a team playing far better

Hope for a better 2nd half but not holding my breath

I haven’t criticised Flower. Clark I have, definitely. Hence why “much lesser extent”.

That’s that

Sackable this performance.

Have to say I'm not convinced Flower and Clark would have made much difference.

Game over.

Oh stop it you’ll get my hopes up

In these conditions, it'll be over by then.

Bordering on embarrassing now. Poor by Budgie, enough players inside for him to stay on the winger.
