Having your training ground wiped out isn't an excuse it's a fact and one that no other team has had to deal with.

Nothing changed this season? We've conceded just 34 points compared to 100 points in the opening 3 fixtures but you're probably one of those that only think about attack so that's wasted on you.

That you can't see that improvement because we aren't racking up 40 points a week in attack shows you're the deluded one.

We're only conceding just over 11 points a game so far which is the lowest in the league. Granted only a few games in but for idiots to say no improvement just shows them up for what they they just because our attack isn't clicking yet.

Look at the teams Leeds have played - Saints with a very young half back and then two of the weakest sides in the league so you would expect us to not have conceded many points. Also no WCC to distract them which probably impacted the results for games two and three last year.

What is worrying is they have scored less points than they did in the first three games - I didn't think it were possible to have a worse attack than we did last year but it seems we do?

Winning isn't the only reason I attend games I want to be entertained by elite players exhibiting elite skills - that hasn't happened from Leeds for 18 months.

we still haven't worked out how to get the early ball to Watkins. its criminal the way he is under used.
there is no direction on or off the field, that's plain to see.

That is a very good question? Its more in hope than anticipation

Its been the same year on year and it seems to be getting worse for all our backs. Iv'e got bored of banging on about it TBH, in a way i wouldn't be that sad to see Watkins move on to the NRL or another top SL team, i would really like to see what he could potentially do in a team that plays with more structure and creates space for the outside backs and playing off halfs that can give him good ball.

Hard to believe I would ever think this but I agree about Watkins. For the sake of the national team I'd be happy to see him go to another club. The alternative would be a radical change to the coaching set up at Leeds, and that simply isn't going to happen.

The England backs saw even less ball than they do at Leeds under Bennett in the recent 4 Nations.

Keinhorst has come in at CENTRE for the previous two games and been one of our best performers both weeks along with being Fans Player of the Year last year.

Even after facturing in a possible successful 2015 McDermott's self life was apparently in sight, yet here we are again.

You know what an apt answer to a question asked of me would've been? If I got the chance of answering it instead of you chipping in with your long held problem with me trying to point score.

HTH

When does Watkins' contract expire?
