I did go to the game thanks.

Have to say Parcell looks tired to me. Hes hardly run since the Wire game and while he makes lots of tackles he has stopped winning collision. Not blaming him for our dismal attacking efforts by the way.



Cas are very well coached they have options for Gale all the time with bodies in motion. We have no moves, set plays, structure and no decoy runners. Its boring to watch.



Weve some good hard working forwards who graft every week but have no X factor about them. They are all similar. We are linked with Hep Cahill for next year whos a solid pro and workhorse but we already have 4 Hep Cahills in our pack.



Ive nothing against McD weve had a lot of success under him but its time for some fresh ideas next year. I dont mind losing, it happens, but i hate the fact we are boring to watch.



Leeds Rugby League is known for its brand of attacking and that should be adhered to win lose or draw. Like i say at the moment we are boring to watch. The players give their all every week. Theres no lack of effort or pride. They just arent given a structure or system to succeed in from what I can see.

top post but you can read the same comments on wire, saints or pies board, super league and the game in general is on a slippery slope, watched the all blacks this morning, ball handling skills at pace which was great to watch, when was the last international RL game we can say that about

Sadly I have to agree with you. RU used to be dull and RL skillful. It seems the other way round these days

I get that cas fans are cocky after beating us again, and rightly so as they are a superior team to us at the moment. But they need to think bigger and look beyond beating us now, it's about winning the grand final and we are probably the 4th best team. They will more likely need to beat hull or Salford to win the grand final and they have shown an ability to beat cas.



I'm not sure they have enough games but I do think if Wigan made the top 4 they would strangle the life out of cas and win the gf.

Cant see Salford being in top 4 at the end of the 8s if im honest. I can see us playing Hull in both semi finals.

Did you watch the SOO on Wednesday? The standard of rugby down under is of a high level its just SL that is lagging behind.



If you watched the RU - one try came from an inability to catch a high ball and two came from the Lions being unable to slide their defence which is criminal with 15 players on the field. Having said that their try in the first half was superb

Struggle to see anybody catching the top 4 if I'm honest. I think Wakey will slack off. Especially in the super 8s. Then I think the rest are too far back.



Can see a:

Cas Vs Salford

Hull Vs Leeds



Semi final match up.

Cas have free run for the rest of the season now that they are out of the CC,They don't have the distractions that Hull FC,Salford and Rhinos have



Also the Winners of the CC regularly go on a bender which ultimately ends their season, so one of Cas' major challengers for the GF could be gone unless they could back up and remain in the game like we did in 2015



Unless Cas implode from here on in then they will definitely get a home semi final in the play off's



Wigan look to have far too much ground to make up in order to make the top 4 although until it is mathematically impossible then they still remain a threat IMO,If they finish 4th then they are capable of winning the GF irrespective of who they play

So you compared 2 different events to support your argument. Have you watched super league or NRL this year? RU is so far ahead of rugby league in the skills stakes it's laughable .

Wigan have an easy run in up to the split and are capable of going on a run with all their returnees getting match fit, don't like them but have to respect them

Wigan are 7 points back and there are only 22 to play for. They need to gain at least 2 points on the top 4 before the 8's imo. I can't see them gaining more than 5 points on anyone in 7 games. Its just too much.



Saints are the dark horses imo. They have an interesting month coming up with Leeds, Hull, Les Catalans and Wakefield. They have just beaten Salford. 3 or 4 wins from that run and the will only be a couple of points off the top 4 coming in to the 8's with perhaps Barba coming in.



If either Wigan or Saints can sneak in to the 4, i wouldnt bet against either of them come knock-out rugby.

Nonsense, Its not even close. Outside of maybe 4 sides NZ sides, the standard of club RU is embarrassingly bad. RU in Australia is absolutely on its ar5e, SA are going backwards at a rate of knots and I would fancy most SL sides against the Argentinian or Japanese Super Rugby sides in a game of RU and the Northern Hemisphere is a distant second and in terms of actual Rugby skills even further behind. Outside of Munster, Leinster and Scarlets the pro12 is barely championship standard and the top14 and AP are SL level at best and there is a huge gap between us and the NRL.



There is a reason that 3 of the top 4 nations in RU all pick RL players for their national sides, the only reason the other doesnt, is because there are no RL players who qualify for them.

really did you watch the lions vs ABs top game, the last two league international i watched live were england vs nz and england vs kangaroos both at the olympic stadium and both dire, don't watch nrl or origin but super league is regressing, could not believe how bad we were friday and other teams forums tend to tell the same tale, Cas are a breath of fresh air and good to watch
