On this forum after a loss? Unlikely.

Garbage performance tonight but every team produces some throughout a season.

This was down to the players who were all well below par. Poor handling and predicable to defend greedy one man rugby meant we never really had threatened to score. We never made the ball work or tried to create space and did not play as we have been playing. The only players who deserve any credit were JJB who never stopped trying, Garbutt who made big meters but still made errors, Parcell who tried but not his best game and young Walker who looks to have some class. Cuthbertson had perhaps his worst game, Ward was no better and Singleton looks to run out of energy. They and the rest owe the supporters and the coach an apology.

He never was a long term option. But he is currently out best option, which is the reason.

But not with McGuire would that work.

What about judging him over a period instead of cherry picking a single game where the whole team had a sloppy attitude. Not even established HB's would've had much hope playing in that lineup tonight.

Moon may not be a half but Maguire is. WTF was he doing all game?

Re: RD 12 | Leeds Rhinos v Huddersfield Giants : Thu Apr 27, 2017 9:30 pm  

Awful, simply awful. No structure. Defence OK in parts but went to sleep at key moments.

WTF was going on with the bench

Worst home game I've seen in a long time, including last season. Embarrassing
