As there seems to be a lack of PC's in Leeds I think it is my
duty to state what an absolute shambles of a side the Loiners
are!
On Monday I fully expected for us to be in for a real fire
and brimstone clash against the trainee Vermin.
After the first fif*** minutes of the game I saw no reason
to doubt my early fears, Iro, Mann and Fallon seemed to be
up for it and Saints were having trouble implementing their
own brand of high speed rugby. Leeds were 16 points to 8 up
and seemed to be coasting.
It was at this time that Goulding decided he would change
the battle tactics to top secret plan B.
For anybody who does not know what plan B is, I will tell
you, although I must warn you that it only works against
Leeds.
On attack
A. Receive Ball
B. Run straight at Leeds defender(s)
C. Keep running
D. Put ball down over line
E. Kick goal
F. Increment scoreboard by 6 points.
On Defence
A. Stand in a straight line and look menacing.
B. Collect ball when dropped or when Shultz/McDermott/Howard gives away
silly penalty
C. Revert to offensive plan.
It's that easy!
Of course no plan is foolproof when you have noted donkeys like Hammond
and Sullivan in the side and with Connolly reffing the game, but hey
you can't have everything can you?
Seriously though, I have never seen a more pathetic Leeds team in the
fif*** years I have been watching RL.
I am constantly hearing about how Bell/McGahan are trying to turn things
round at Headingley - Bollocks!
All I've seen is a shed full of good pros been booted out the doors,
with a load of spotty faced ***agers been asked to become superstars
overnight!
It's pointless *** off your most talented players and hoping that
your young lads are going to tear through the league like wild horses,
it simply doesn't work.
I have never been a lover of Garry Schofield but boy how they missed
him on Monday.
It's obvious Holroyd is no scrum half so why do they
persist in playing him there?
The kid looks as if he has the makings of a damn good stand-off but at
this moment in time the poor lad is shellshocked, what Bell is doing
to him is criminal and he is running the risk of ruining the kid for
life! The same goes for Francis Cummins, he must of played in every
back position on the park on Monday!
George Mann is a pale shadow of the player who regularly terrorised
defences around the league when he was at Saints and if ever a player
needed a rocket up his arse it's Kevin Iro.
At the end of the match the entire mood of the Leeds speccies was
summed up when the P.A. system droned out the song "Yesterday!"
Indeed!
Mean Dean may have been one of the best centres in the World, but I'm
afraid that his coaching leaves a lot to be desired! If he doesn't
turn the Loiners round in a big way in the next few weeks I think it
may be time for him to get the old Vote of confidence from the board!
