Theres no cohesion, it's all 1 man efforts, no meaningful offloads, if any at all, no will to win like displayed by other teams.IMO the half backs were going through the motions; as far as I could see they never set up anything the whole match.I personally have always blown a bit hot and cold where Reece Lyne is concerned but at the moment he is really struggling, and that's being kind.Noticed that a poor pass from Reece to Tom Lineham had them falling out,and generally there seems to be a tension in the group that's leading to mistakes.It's been discussed a few times by different posters re JC not being effective at hooker,and it was there again for all to see against Leeds.I don't blame the lad for that,I blame the coach.On a positive note I'm warming to Whitbread,think he's steadily improving.If TJ is staying till the season end, and is fit, he needs to be in, pronto,Murphy as well.

How is the coach to blame?
JC had to do a stint at hooker because the interchange hooker had to go on the wing.
Injury caused JC to be at hooker, how is WP to blame for that?

So are you saying it was a success with JC at hooker?

I think he's asking who else would you have put in the hooking roll once Kay was needed on the wing?

Sometimes it’s advantageous that our deputy hooker is actually a winger…

The Magic Weekend game is massive, it genuinely feels like whoever wins, stays up. That simple.

Watched the highlights eventually. Am I correct in thinking Miller chose not to make an effort to tackle when we conceded tries. If so, seems very Jarrod Sammut like. If correct, he shouldn’t get near the first team again.

Isn’t it sad that I looked at the fixture list and was pleased to see that we have a week off.

Hopefully have a good break and come back refreshed.

I don’t see a win though until the Magic Weekend game, the week after against KR is also important. 4 big points up for grabs.

Considering he made 23 tackles, more than any other back and more than 3 forwards, I'd say you are way off the mark.
