RHINOS CONTINUE TO SINK
YOU don’t have to be a navigation expert to know that Richie Agar is in very rough waters as he struggles to avoid sinking as coach of Leeds.
GARRY SCHOFIELD contrasts Leeds’ display with that of their opponents on Friday night
The Challenge Cup provides a potential lifeline, but do his players have what it takes to land that crucial knockout blow on Castleford at Headingley in Saturday’s sixth-round tie and help him grab it?
Judging by Friday’s pitiful second-half performance at Salford, not to mention some of the other stuff they’ve served up so far this season, I’m not at all sure they do.
It’s only fair to give some credit to Salford because they produced a solid show to claim their third win of the Super League campaign.
I like their coach Paul Rowley (just as I do Richie) and I like the way he works to get his team to play in an attractive and entertaining style.
They were trailing going into the final 15 minutes but remained patient and turned the screw as Leeds fell away.
I liked the performances of both Ryan Brierley and Brodie Croft especially, and the pack really put in a shift.
