That, my friend, was in no way, shape or form a sentence.



It was gibberish.



But I'm the one being dumb.



OK.

Seriously. What contribution are you making here. All your doing is boring others, who have nothing to do with you childish agendas. You may believe this board is about you, but it's not my friend, most have no interest in you.



This thread is about Leeds Rhinos, as the board is, and this one about attitude. You might be better to contribute to that, instead of showing this schoolboy bully type attitude, that in truth is about as intimidating as a butterfly on a rose petal.

By far the most entertaining these type threads are.

I thought the Yoda quip was very entertaining.

The force is strong with Gotcha, but lose his fear of the Rhinos losing he must. Fear leads to the dark side. Fear leads to Wigan.

Like I've said in previous posts - the evidence was in how the players acted on the field - walking to scrums, taps and other breakdowns in the game, sloppy and unforced handling errors, lazy marker defence, silly penalties.... All signs of a poor attitude to the game. If a team is 'up' for a game, those things don't happen (though you may get some silly 'over eager' penalties).



You admitted in your post that you don't believe all players were motivated for the Bradford game - that's a poor attitude!!! I also admitted in my earlier posts that it's understandable that some players would have an eye on next week (particularly those guaranteed a spot), what I said I was more disappointed about was that the younger fringe players who should be trying to play for a spot in the semi team didn't up their game - and obviously it's disappointing the senior players didn't lead the way.



For me, the younger/fringe players missed a big opportunity. They were playing against one of the weakest SL teams and had the chance to shine - they chose (along with the senior players) to enter the game with a poor, low tempo and half d approach.



I'd expect any youngster in the Leeds set up worth their salt to be looking at the current squad and thinking they've arrived at the perfect time to take someone's shirt- many players are getting to the end stage of their careers and their form is starting to slip. They should be coming in with the attitude that their gonna make it impossible for the coach to drop them - playing against Bradford was a great chance to showcase both their will to win and skillset. Walters is the only youngster I see at the moment who's really busting a gut to keep a shirt.

I'd hope younger players would bust a gut, but TBH if you are trying your best and feel that the senior players are just mucking about, I could understand it being a bit hard to maintain for 80 minutes.



Personally I think the sort of performance described against Bradford is the worst way to prepare for a big game, which the semi clearly is to those same senior players, regardless of players out injured/rrested. It doesn't mean they can't beat Warrington, but IMO it makes it even harder than it should be.

I think Gotcha and G1 should meet up and have a drink together at Brudenell Social Club. Heck - even have a slice of cake each.



You both contribute as much (or as little) as each other, but it has gone off-topic and personal so consequently neither has been particularly offering anything to thw wider SS'er community.



Meet up, have a drink and a chat and chill!

Mate, what do you think it is, I couldn't be seen in such establishments. For info though, Gareth has previously invited me out on one of his whisky tasting jaunts. Not sure cake was involved, but pretty sure the establishment would not have been Brudenell Social Club

Ah shame.



I like the BSC. I especially like it during the 'off season' (ie. Christmas and July-August) when there are less students around.



Always obviously the likes of Arcadia and so on. One thing I appreciate about living in town is that there are more 'old man pubs'. Which is a good thing, IMO.



I feel I am digressing from the focus of this thread, however.

Feel free to digress ,this week is the calm before the storm. After Saturday whatever the result ,the verbal jousting on here will be something to behold.

I am looking forward to the game and the after match verbal fisticuffs .

You must be new here!
