You know it is a boring game when the commentators are talking about things completely off topic

Not true, they love doing it even when it's a good game. For some reason they're under the impression that the audience are tuning in for them and their 'banter'. But they aren't the only ones TBF and its happening more and more in sports commentary nowadays. Caught a bit of the T20 cricket earlier and they love to be "characters". In fairness to David 'Bumble' Lloyd he is, the others aren't, not mentioning any names........Nasser Hussain.

Moons job was apparently to act as a foil for Mcguire and Lilly by running the ball and pulling in defenders (very much a Foran type role), I think he did this pretty well and we seem to have had more time on the ball than in previous weeks.
Next week I think it will be Moon and Lilly with burrow on the bench or Burrow at 6 with keinhorst on the bench.

We did look slow in the middle, I think we missed Singleton more than many think, he is our most mobile prop and plugs a lot of holes around the marker, Mullaly didn't fill that role nearly as well today.
Remember though Baldwinson and Oledski should get some game time next year.

Its all gone down hill since Sid Waddell died!

While we scored some nice tries it was a sloppy and poor performance for me today. Our kicking game was awful and baffling. Surely against championship opposition you dont want to keep kicking into touch so they can get a breather? Wouldnt keeping it in play and making them work to grind them down and tire them out be a better option? Both Maggsy and Lilley repeatedly drilled it 20 or 30 yards into touch. Not knocking the players who must have been instructed to do it but surely making Championship teams work at a pace they arent used to would be a more sensible tactic????

Marker defence was lazy and non-existant at times.

To defend the players it must be difficult getting up for a game they know they will win comfortably but i expected better today and left the ground disappointed with the performance.

Spot on. The only explanations I could think of for drilling it into touch was that we needed a rest more than them or if being generous, we used the conservative tactic more in first half when playing into the strong wind.

Or if being very generous, I wondered if Leeds had come down on day of the game and were a bit travel weary and seeking to break up the play. Like you disappointed leaving the ground

Well before the Fev game when some people were saying some of us were being too cocky and confident predicting an easy win I said the potential banana skin for us could be the London game if we went into it with 2 wins from 2.

Sandwiched inbetween two more challenging games vs SL opposition on HKR and Salford I thought we might go into this a bit lackadaisical looking towards the important Salford game. As the commentators said during the game it was slightly following the pattern of the Fev game and at 40-18 with 15 mins to go you're thinking are getting 60 points again. The Watkins mess up over the try line not to score summed up for me a careless attitude that I doubt that incident happens vs Salford or HKR.

A very much 'let's just get this out of the way' attitude it felt and that's the potential danger for SL clubs in this Middle 8's. London have still got the other 3 SL clubs to play and if the SL teams don't approach it correctly then I think London could get a win against a SL club which would definitely shake the table up.

Thought Cunninghams try was class.

I think we should sign him as a backup hooker based on that, anyone seen more of him?

You think we went into this game with any sort of tactics or game plan? It looked to me like our plan was to show up and outplay them, it was the sort of complacency we have been seeing for years

Helped by JJB turning his back on him - well spotted by the London player

It's total earache when "Barry and Terry" are on duty. If that's what the plan is when Stevo retires in October then an already abysmal product will be dead an buried.

As for the Leeds performance, as usual for this season I regretted wasting the time to watch it. As I said before, you guys who have shown up to games this season deserve medals (or you just like to pay for 17 men to inflict pain on you).

This is the issue for me for next season - I cannot see how this team will be challenging for honours next season.

It is painful to watch them struggling to deliver a decent performance - they have a virtually full strength side out for weeks

I thought Leeds Quarterbacks were in good form , helping you get the win

yep. but some people have the blinkers on David. the nucleus is there but we need some quality signings.
to many lately have been cheap, and sadly, low quality. we are where we are for a reason

If Leeds are committed to this squad then I can't see how they have the cap space to sign the quality of player they need.

I get Printer's point about the pre-season/injuries but by now this team should be red hot and it is decidedly tepid.

Segayro looks OK but only because we haven't had a proper hooker for so long. He looks a little one dimensional to me - it could be he needs more time. He doesn't look in the Roby/Clark quality and the number of forward passes he throws is a worry but that could just his team mates getting used to him.

The biggest thing for me would be a new coach - it will not happen for next year - the brand of rugby under McDermott in the main has always been turgid and has relied on off the cuff stuff that is not of his making. I struggle to see what he is bringing to the party. I get he is the most successful coach ever in the world but that is question of circumstance IMO

Baldwinson is off

Shame home grown talent thrown away so we can recruit the likes of Mullally?

To Fev? It would be just his luck that McDermott followed him (wishful thinking

)

Just watched the "highlights" ...awful. Best try by the London right winger. Maybe Leeds could sign him and the hooker (Cunningham)? More likely though we will see more of Luke shuffling down the wing and Burrow scooting into his inevitable blind alley tackles next season

I really enjoyed seeing Leeds win the treble last year but this year I'm glad we've been able to temper that with a touch of realism and avoid having nobody to compete against.

Another win, another box ticked. Get a win against salford and then batley and it's job done, over with, bish bash bosh. We can then get this season consigned to the trash can of history, one of the worst and most challenging seasons in decades.

The winger in question is Macani, and he's on his way to Bradford next year apparently.

As for Cunningham, he's tied down with us till 2018

At least having watched Soward's contribution I trust we can forget all talk about him coming to Leeds.

Not based on what I've been told. Holiday as in season over.

Nobody will be going on holiday until safety is guaranteed and even if we beat Salford and Batley it won't be mathematically guaranteed. Plus who do we bring, Walters, Luke Briscoe, Walters are with Fev. Delaney and McGuire probably won't feature again. The only people who haven't featured are Handley and Golding and it's not like our starting wingers have played too many games. If we've guaranteed safety with a game to spare then we might see Cameron Smith or Sam Hallas get a game vs Leigh but ONLY if we've landed a top 3 spot, which looking at fixtures probably still won't be guaranteed after Round 5.
