Let's all pray to God that happens. Deffo need someone of furners ilk to come in. The change from Mac simply hasn't worked yet

He has absolutely given up. Runs sideways, hands the ball on or just hoofs it.

Myler simply isn’t up to it (there I said it) though to be fair he’s had 0 help this year, he badly needs an organiser to do the donkey work he isn’t able to do.

Far too many players going through the motions.

I heard Phil Caplan say a few weeks ago that Moon was suffering from a crisis in confidence. I've always thought he is a class player but has been poor of late and little involved.

Makes it more mistifying why Leeds did not take a chance on Jackson Hastings to try and lift the team

There isn't a half back in the world who could produce the goods behind that pack. The fact he's had to play 6&7 all year doesn't help either. Let's hope he can find his true form next year alongside Lolohea although that feels like clutching at straws at the mo!

For next year I'd go all out for one or two quality forwards. Whilst I'm not a fan of 'project players' generally, given how hard it will be to get more than that, I'd think about bringing in a couple of young Championship players who still fancy their chances of 'making it' in SL and have them on a year contract with the chance of a proper deal. Give them a full off season and make clear its down to them to stay. I'd go that route as unless Leeds are willing to really spend big I can't see us being able to sign more than two quality forwards, and we need more than that.

Off field I'd like to see a coach from completely outside the system (Furner left 14 years ago so would qualify), and the fitness staff need to be sent packing as well.

Who's available? We aren't going to spend any money, so you've got to look at who's off contract

So we continue with mediocrity? That is exactly how you get in trouble, and how the likes of the bottom four operate.

How much could it possibly cost to sign a couple of forwards from the Championship? IMO we've got to speculate to accumulate now. The squad needs a major overhaul and if you think buying out Championship players is expensive, compare that to buying out SL players (or NRL), who would also expect longer contracts in the first place. In fact just compare the cost of doing that with either doing nothing or signing too many bigger name players on long term deals who turn out to be rubbish (looking at you Mr Ferres).

Although I try not to watch any reality TV, I've got a sort of 'Survivor Headingley' thing in mind. Hopefully more successful than the Broncos Prop idol from a few years ago...
