if it works!!!!!.. rather than being top of the league for first half of a season and then going into freefall like some teams do

Groundhog day!!
I think the only thing we got right tonight was the warm up!
The Giants fully deserved the win but we didn't half give them enough ball and space to get it.
I'd be surprised if our completion rate is higher than 35% and with most of the errors coming in our half it was only a matter of time before we imploded imo.
Also whilst i'm fully aware of what we've won under this coaching regime they and the 17 they put out tonight got it very wrong and there's too much to list it was that bad so we move onto next week where hopefully we'll turn up ready to play and contend the game.

Good to see the value of a Rhinos season ticket holding it's own again this season.

No, really.

One of those most ridiculous decisions getting wrong was how the hell did Delaney manage to stay on that pitch for 65 minutes? He was finished by the 10th minute of the game, completely unfit and not at 100%.

Decision making is just way out. The continuous obsession with that flat pass becomes embarrassing at times.

But my word as far as the Giants go what a special player Brough is when on form.

As I was leaving the ground tonight the first thought that crossed my mind was "I bet my left nut Jeff comes out of hibernation tonight".

Gotcha-re-Brough he was never really put under pressure apart from the odd defender flying out of the line waving their arms about like they were on fire!!
Agree re-Delaney he could hardly walk for the whole of the 2nd half and i think we passed to Moon 3 times!!
Awful all round tonight and one to quickly forget (hopefully).

Jeff isn't responsible for you wasting your money on another season ticket again. The team and the club don't care about the regular season so why should you?

It wasn't really a question of under pressure. He did what we didn't and used his head. He kicked on the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th tackles and mixed it up through the game. He kicked high, he kicked low, he kicked short. Very unpredictable, and his passing was superb also. He made McGuire look a chump tonight.

It's not just about rugby though. It's a chance to meet up with friends...oh,wait - Sorry!

Not that many of the Leeds team could hold their hands up and say they played to anywhere near there level of the previous two weeks but I have to say Vickery had an absolute mare........ He was at fault for the first three tries through his dropped ball and overall poor positioning and then sloped off at the end. My 84 year old dad would have put on a better performance

Without wishing to sound like Nantwich it is very hard to imagine any quick kid from the academy doing a worse job. Positioning out on attack and defence, no pace, no threat, no confidence.

Handling and positioning can be taught, at least, but the thing that worried me most was Saints' last try last week. Yes, the break was down to a horrible read and missed tackle by McGuire which left the whole right side exposed, but Percival burned Vickery off so easily it looked like he was running in cement, and then, when the cover got over and play slowed as the ball went through Manu and Meli, Vickery had caught up with Meli only to run alongside without making an effort at a tackle for a few yards before getting left behind again. Any winger with pace would have at least made things more difficult at various stages of the move.

How many dropped catches were there, it felt like every set.

Need to get hardaker and jones bishop back as soon as possible. Get Watkins and Ablett back in position.

Still not sure about the hooker and half back situation.

Current England scrum half/stand off must be bloody good, would love to see him play oh hang on ;-0)

he made all three half backs inc the captain look like chumps

If Vickery had a pedigree of sorts he might be given the benefit of the doubt. He has never played top level rugby before and looks so out of his depth it's terrifying.

Southampton F.C. Once embarrassed themselves by giving10 minutes to a bloke they were told was George Weah's cousin. Vickery, I'm afraid looks to be a similar error.

We wouldn't have stood a chance if Sir captain fantastic Kev had been on the field...



..oh hang on

It's no wonder the Aussies said 'Kev who?'

Shame its just one game...try putting a run together in the cup or playoff sometime

Aye, must have missed all those GF's, CC's and WCC's that Brough has lead Hudds to..........oh hang on



F**k it, he ripped Leeds apart in one weekly game.......he must be the best halfback EVER!!!..........

William would've met up with friends this Friday night but he was too busy playing Scrabble with himself!

If Leeds lose a game it MUST mean they don't care.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........boring.........

We usually do put a run together in the cup, probably better than Leeds over the last 10 years or so without looking.

2003 = Leeds - RU.....Hudds - 4th
2004 = Leeds - 4th.....Hudds - SF
2005 = Leeds - RU......Hudds - 4th
2006 = Leeds - SF......Hudds - RU
2007 = Leeds - 5th.....Hudds - QF
2008 = Leeds - SF......Hudds - 5th
2009 = Leeds - 4th.....Hudds - RU
2010 = Leeds - RU.....Hudds - 5th
2011 = Leeds - RU.....Hudds - QF
2012 = Leeds - RU.....Hudds - SF

Leeds = 27 wins 10 losses............Average QF/SF
Hudds = 20 wins 10 losses...........Average 5th/QF

So probably not

I take back what I said then, my apologies. It doesn't take away the fact that Sinfield isn't fit to lace Brough's boots though.

No but it does show that you have a habit of saying things which are wrong. As illustrated by the Brough boots comment.

I'd expect better than that from you ponner tbh.
Maybe when Brough has put together enough "big game" winning performances as "Sir Kev" he might be worth as much as one of Sinfields laces until then i'd just enjoy yer traditional pretending to be contenders.
