I think the problem is that if, as is happening tonight, 3 or 4 of those players are out, the team is stuffed.

I think it’s a confidence thing there wasn’t much between the two 17s. It’s the difference of putting young players in a team with confidence and one without.

I meant in the media coverage. We hear a lot about the coaches but not so much the players. It’s a very mediocre squad and I don’t see how Leeds can really improve without better players. 

Ive heard nothing but the media suggest we haven’t got enough class players in the last few weeks 

the issue with the Leeds squad is 1-17 are fine but we just haven’t got enough decent players to cover the injuries

Tez gets in little tip on play

Of course there is an element of confidence, but frankly there are players that aren't good enough at Leeds.

Ah, but that’s my point. The 1-17 squad isn’t really good enough.

I initially thought it was arrogance, after nearly a decade and Leeds' attitude to recruitment I now think its actually (lack of) ability.

The Italian army in WW2 might argue,but pretty close.

Leeds couldn’t score during Happy Hour in Amsterdam. 
 

Shame as the effort was much improved from them.

Last year wasn’t it?

[Gerrumonside ref]

It was only 8-0 for a long period, but Leeds decision making in attack was atrocious.

Saints on the other hand kicked the door in as soon as they got a real sniff in that second half.

With Hull KR pasting Warrington too it looks like a spicy afternoon of entertainment on Good Friday with the two derbies.

They are just in a tough place and getting tougher by the week. It wasn’t a bad squad at the start of the season and isn’t know. They just need some leaders to stand up.

We need some players back and for them to stop getting banned.

[Eddie]

I used to find Leeds being in the doledrums quite amusing but I’ve had enough now, SL needs the big clubs to do well and they are absolute garbage. 

[graveyard johnny]

bet whitehaven wish they had drawn leeds last week

About Half of our 1-17 are quality:

Fusitua, Newman, Oledski, Leeming, Prior, Bentley, Martin, Myler. 

Still to be convinced on Sezer and Austin.

Handley, Tetevano are good on their day.

The rest are genuinely sub-par or academy players. Sutcliffe, Walker, Briscoe, Smith. They might work hard, but sadly that isn't enough at this level.

Its thin on quality I'm afraid, very brittle.
