What can a coach do having had so many injured and out of form players at the same time?

According to official SL website, the penalty count was 14-5 in Leeds favour.

Hud trying to release Ferres, same with Garbutt at broncos, I assume similar with Falloon given the cocaine scandal and his injuries

No decent half in a similar situation in SL



Not sure what you mean by play maker but if you mean that he is just a runner then it works pretty well for Melbourne and NQL

Thought some of our fans were a disgrace yesterday. Chanting "WTF is going on"



Absolute pr-cks. Acting like spoilt children. Don't know how good we've had it and the second we have a blip they can't wait to get on the players backs.



You don't deserve Leeds Rhinos.

We have a bigger, better squad than most to start with. Cas had more than us out, bloody Wakey had more out. Explain how they can win?

I think the WTF chant moment was down to the headless chicken attacking set where Achurch failed to get over the line.

I also was saying this Last season. We had 5 players McGuire, Sutcliffe, falloon, burrow and lilley to cover 4 positions. 6,7,9 and 14. It only took one injury to make us look so weak in the role. As it has proved. I know it's easier said than done just to sign a HB but it is something that I've been concerned about since Sinfields announcement. One people agreed with until Aiton said he was leaving, then suddenly it wasn't as important and Sutcliffe would be the saviour. Oh and to add to that we don't have a decent goal kicker.



This is not likely obviously. But I'd love us to sign Gale. Came through the academy, young enough to have a decent length career at Leeds and looks ready to step up and control a bigger team.

Can't win.



Leeds sign a HB, they are stunting the younger lads, GIVE YOUTH A CHANCE!



Leeds DONT sign a HB, WTF! These youth players are rubbish, why didn't we stockpile several HB's??

That you need to ask what I mean when I use the term play maker rather explains why you fail to see why Sutcliffe has never shown he is a stand off or the player to replace our main organiser. We should have used the marquee route to get the quality needed if necessary.



If you are from the group that were happy to give youth with unproven ability a chance then stop complaining now when we hit problems. Without a play maker to steer the ship even light headwinds can blow you onto the rocks.



Leeds have played a much applauded off the cuff attractive style of rugby rather than a more boring style based on structured moves. To not replace our main pivot with similar class was a big risk and we now have to hope McGuire remains fit for the rest of the season and that young Golding can provide some spark when he returns.

The young players have to be of the correct quality/readiness - if they are not the club have a duty to the supporters to provide a competitive team.



Whether either Lilley or Sutcliffe will fill eventually fill the above criteria is debatable - one thing is for sure the club needs another half back of the appropriate quality ASAP.



I have some sympathy with GH - Sinfield's departure and Sutcliffe's injury would have thrown a major spanners in the works - I would have thought they were looking at a gradual transition between the two. Finding another Dunneman will be very difficult given the lack of quality in the NRL but a Widdop type steady-eddie to play alongside McGuire would be ideal right now.



McGuire's injury has also compounded an already difficult situation - I am sure he will be back this week and matters will improve.



Can they make the top 4 - it will be tough with Wigan x 2, Saints, Warrington and Hull away before the split it will take a huge effort - it time for some players to grow into the shoes left by Sinfield and Peacock.

McGuire and burrow retires in a couple of years. A HB such as Luke gale/Gareth widdop with experience but still young enough would see over the transition period adding quality whilst giving Sutcliffe and lilley another couple of years to develop around the first team without the pressure of being fully relied on. New signing would have taken over sinfield, Sutcliffe / lilley would take over McGuire in a couple of years.

Even McGuire this season may take quite a while regain form and match fitness
