not many of us are having a laugh at the moment. Now we have to match the Giant's efforts of last season, losing the opening three games but still going on to contest the qualifying semis. Can this Leeds team turn this season around?

If we can get a side that remotely resembles our first choice 17 then I think we'll be up there. I don't think the impact of the transition of key players should be underestimated. Most of all though, I think the loss of the training ground has had the biggest impact. We definitely look a undercooked.

True, I know some people will scream "excuses" but their's a reason sport teams spend good money on quality training bases. To be at your best when you're hopping around various locations is far from ideal if you're trying to challenge for trophies.

To be fair we've been beaten by Wire, who've started like a house on fire, as well as two of the hardest away venues in the league, all with a rather long injury list. It's not time to panic.

No need to panic yet, if we win the next three well probably be favourites

Don't forget to mention that really tough and unnecessary fixture Leeds had against the Kiwis last year which also disrupted Leeds plans this season... LOL.

Whilst you're just trying to be an ar$e (as usual as it comes naturally) I stick by that it didn't help. Look at Leeds previous year, early playoff exit and start 2015 season on fire. Wire and Hull pretty much start planning for 2016 one week after the super 8's and look good at the start of 2016. We end up playing until end of October when players should be on a beach resting.

Galloway looks like the new Chris Feather, where you found him from, very poor

I thought you said it was the SPOTY that had caused this? make you mind up!!

I'm not sure how the NZ game negatively impacted the likes of Hardaker, Hall, Ferres, Galloway, Burrow, Watkins, Delanney? - are seriously suggesting the likes of Handley, Walters, Mullally and Lilley needed more rest?

Lilley needs some pace injecting into his legs - without that he will not make it at this level and Mullally needs some skill and technique or else he will not make it either.

Gimme a shout when you've discovered a rare planetary alignment which is deliberately unfavourable towards Leeds Rhinos performances and results this season.

TIA

The spirit of Elland Rd is seeping through.

Pointing out a shortened preseason can effect you in sports.....yep really out there planetary thinking.
