Strongest 19 man squad we’ve had for a while

Sinfield interview was superb today. Showed a lot for me from behind the scenes. Says that Garbutt, Ablett, Ward, all play.

only guessing but I think things had gone stale. players were listening to the same voice and both the playing and coaching side needed freshening up. hopefully we are on the right track.

Agreed, he really is sounding the part, hope the players listen and respond.

Me too, but if they don't he won't be afraid of telling them or replacing them.

This feels like a new dawn, even if the results don't necessarily show it over the next week or two.

He’s all class in everything he does and how he carry’s himself is Sinfield, always destined for success in all he turns his attentions to.

I agree Seth. I am so pleased he's back.

Very interesting to hear him talk about how some of the pride has been lost in playing for Leeds.

Its constantly amazing how quickly successful sports teams can go from being held in the highest esteem even outside the sport to freefalling into also-rans. Whilst recruitment etc has been a problem, I still think the club as a whole reacted dreadfully to the events of 2016, and last year helped create the false impression that all would be good this year when everyone was fit. A mix of overconfidence in the coaches and players, and a lack of understanding what it was that made the culture work over the golden decade.

As a WT fan, I look at that line-up and see a really strong team; what's going wrong?

The decision to go the season with only one proven half back (Myler) has been disastrous in my opinion, especially as he's usually been behind a well beaten pack.

The club clearly assumed that Moon would develop into a proper stand off. He hasn't looked remotely like a 6 when given a go there at different clubs previously, so I'm not sure why they thought it would suddenly click for him.
