Agree Marko. Too much navel gazing only gives you a sore neck!
KM has been masterful in working out how to play to our strengths, given the tools in his locker. Others, with sharper tools, have worked out how to exploit our limitations - which Leeds did to perfection. It hurts - as it should - buts it’s done. We remain work in progress, and I have absolute trust that KM a and MA will continue to close the quality/performance gaps apparent from yesterday. Yesterday, taken with Leicester on Tuesday, should show exactly where the top-end C’ship bar is, and where we sit in relation to it going into the season’s second half.

Yeah I'm with you there Marko, the scoreline suggested a thumping and it was very disappointing considering this was a bit of a cup final they would have been planning and preparing for for months.
BUT.... I'm more inclined to just not read in to it at all, keep confidence in what has worked before and move past it. I didn't get to see huge amounts of the game, but the bits I did, and seeing the goals again, seems to suggest the scoreline flattered them and they got the bounce of the ball. Away to one of the best, if not the best team in the division, it's no shame, just an opportunity missed.

Yep, if the majority of fans would do just that, that’d be great.

That's pretty much what Dallas Cowboy's fans do...NOT! (Btw, congratulations to your Lions!)
Why do things always need analysed to the nth degree with chat about “philosophies” etc etc etc. Sometimes you just come up against a side that is miles better. Leeds scored 4 at PR & 4 @ Elland……. They’re just BETTER.
