| God knows how bad we'd be without Dwyer at the moment. He's the only player who seems to be showing 100% effort and actually trying to win games.

Whilst I agree Marty, I am not convinced he is a long term first choice 9 as yet, surely it can’t be denied that when he is not on the field the whole teams level drops alarmingly?
To be frank, currently, he is really our only attacking threat. His stamina however is an issue.
I think his distribution to be fair though is better than other options we have. I also think had McDermott not been so arrogant over the player, he might currently be still sat in his job.

For that high tackle,very harsh if he cops a ban for that.

it didn't look good and with it being a tv game it's more likely to be picked up but I would be surprised if a ban comes from it.
Crosby has done ok for us so far to be fair to him.

I agree with your last sentence! As an interchange hooker I think he should always be in the squad, that’s what I meant.

| Not posted for a while but throw my opinion in (for what it’s worth).
We are now completely devoid of excellence. We have a couple of really good players, a few decent players and far too many average players, packed out with some crap too. But not one player we have is at the top their game.
1 to 13, I can think of a better player in the Super League or at least a player that I’d prefer. This was not the case five years ago.
I know we’re in a ‘period of transition’ at the moment but I fear that our seasons in the sun are well and truly over. London looked feisty the other night and will be a much tougher test than the surrender monkeys we played yesterday (who still managed to ship 22 points past us).
Anyone fancy Blackpool next year?

Watkins is probably the nearest we have to excellence but is too inconsistent for mine. When he's playing good, there's no better, but on his 'off' days he's shabby. He's had too many off days in the past couple of years to make him World Class.
If he can nail his consistency then he alone would be our only excellent player.

| TBF should we get through this season unscathed I’m sure they’ll be an in depth look a the squad. You are bang on with your assessment of our playing squad FB (Welcome back btw)
Our priorities should be nailing the next coaching appointment, no mucking around, go out and spend what it takes to get the right coaching team in, maybe with a decent off season careers can be salvaged but if not, it should be made abundantly clear no one is safe from the axe and these depths won’t be tolerated anymore.

| See Crosby has got 2x 1 match ban penalty notices (one for the head high and one for raising the elbow)
And yet another warning (only this time) for Mullalley raising the knees in the tackle.

Not only that but his injury coincided with our tail off in form. He is hugely important to us in defence and attack. The disappointment is he’d got more early ball this year from Myler than at any point in his Leeds career. That partnership looked really dangerous. We may not have been winning every game but we were competing and challenging. Since his injury we have fallen off a cliff performance wise.
Papering over cracks it might be, and I agree changes are needed, but if we had our first choice 17 on the pitch we are still a top 6 side.
All the panic about going down is ridiculous, as it was 2 years ago. Not a cat in hells chance this squad gets relegated. I read someone say we should play reserves against Warrington to help us stay up. I despair sometimes.. Hopefully some positive changes for next year while still retaining some of the core of this squad.

With Garbutts post on Twitter the other day, I’d be surprised if we see him again this season.
@mitchgarbutt: Just want to thank @mrsruthgarbutt for being an amazing wife and mother . Off my feet for a little while and she's got 3 kids to look after now. It's hard being away from family but she is doing a great job . Love you .

| If you don't put it on social media - it didn't happen.
Why do you think people put pictures of their tea up? Pics of their coffee. The key one you must tell everyone about is the gym. Every visit you MUST put it on social media. Across all your platforms. Otherwise if you go to the gym without mentioning it on social media your head'll drop off

In which case I am a figment of your collective imaginations. This is as close to social media as I venture
