Don't think Holmes got on actually my bad

Point remains valid though - why put someone on the bench if you're not going to play them? It's okay having a game plan, but when you're 2 scores down with 10 minutes left you have to roll the dice. We missed Burrow out of dummy half - why not just give Walker a go? Nothing to lose, except McD's own pride.

I wouldnt think too hard about if I were you, if they are not good enough to come on and affect the game, then why pick them?

The biggest clear out needs to happen off the pitch then move onto the old men who can't do it anymore & then go from there.

Regardless of what happens rest of year, massive clear out of playing staff and coaching staff needed.
Same old errors same old lack of game plan.

Out Jjb thanks for the memories but he's done.
Delaney out too many injuries
Handles out just not super league standard
McGuire out as Jjb
Ferrrs out just not good enough.
Briscoe out not good enough.
Walters crap
Balwinsin crap
Sutcliffe not good enough not a six not a fullback not a centre.

McDermott not the man to rebuild.

May seem like a knee jerk but the signs have been there for last two years. Can only see a little as to hull in cup and our season fizziling out in super 8's

9 players some under contract yes that's a knee jerk.

We have ready made replacement for most of them players, oledszki, Lilley. Hallas, jj Roberts,aston, ormanroyd. All out on loan.we would only need 3-4 signings plus you would expect 2-3 academy players to start pushing through. I'd rather we went with a younger fresher squad for 2018 and build for 2019-2020 than carry on with a clearly fading squad. Plus contracts meen nothing, we have shipped out players before and had culls like 2002

Massive overreaction. If Leeds had managed to complete a few more sets we could easily have won; McDermott's comments before the game (uncharacteristically) helped to inspire the opposition. Not miles away from the top club for what was always going to be a transitional season for us.

I'd agree the game was there for the taking; point is, we didn't complete the sets and never looked capable of taking it. And, turning your point around, had Cas played to their potential, how many do you think they might have run in?

No mention of Ryan Hall? He looked like a slow, overweight second rower last night playing out of position. Well past sell by date.

weird that a player playing out of position looked like he was playing out of position
may be if we didnt have injuries to our full back and centre he could play back on the wing

Re: Massive clear out needed. : Sat Jun 24, 2017 2:58 pm  

wrong. moon or Sutcliffe could have played centre.
fact is the coach chose to play hall there. great decision too. didn't even have the brains to change it mid game either
