[Man of Kent]

Watson has lost the dressing room.

Sorry, weren't the Giants touted for the top four?

[GUBRATS]

Shame we lost McDonnell, Leeds best player

Giants body language is terrible . Look like they’d rather be anywhere else

They don't look like a group of players playing for each other or their coach. 

[Andrewj]

Genuine question why does he tuck his ears inside the cap ??

well he better find it again - its HT soon and he needs to give them a telling off - surley one of the stewards will give him directions

[Old Frightful]

I thought Lisone led with summat of a raised elbow then, did it contact the Hudds player that's had to leave the field?

[johnh1]

And we've got Luke Robinson to look forward to soon after the 2nd half starts.

He'd improve the team if he was on the pitch.

No praise for Leeds then? We’re looking more enthusiastic than most of the season in attack and defence unlucky not to be two more scores up

Leading with the elbow is illegal in RL, no idea about Union as I don't watch it.

No , even though you're winning , you still look rubbish 

And you actually know it as well , can tell from your lack of enthusiasm

"The best thing the coach could do is not go in the dressing room and see if they can sort it out themselves."

Phil Clarke coaching 101.

[Jughead]

Clarke genuinely suggesting that Watson does nothing is the sort of thing we’re getting from an alleged pundit FFS. What sort of insight or expertise is that?

To be fair, I can see what he means.

When things are really, really bad, there’s merit in letting the players talk among themselves and take responsibility for trying to fix it.

We're miles behind in toughness compared to the nrl your take on this is just an example of why we aren't taken seriously soft as papp!

A couple of weeks ago didn't a coach walk into the dressing room at HT and told the players to sort it, and they did second half.

Can't remember the game, but coach was back in the stand before the fans had got a pint.

Your idea of toughness is very different to mine.

I thought it was because of decades and decades of England and Great Britain being fairly rubbish, with the latest team getting pumped by a Tier 2 nation in the easiest route to a final ever. I was wrong. It was because of some blokes opinion on the internet.

Lots of coaches have done that or the bare minimum like ‘ sort it out ‘ at half time . It’s the shock factor
