Following last weekend’s Challenge Cup exit against Castleford Tigers, our Rhinos Jury are in gloomy mood.

St Helens are next up at Headingley on Friday and our panel are predicting another drubbing as they question where Rhinos go from here.

My point was proven again on Saturday, after an abysmal performance against Castleford in the Challenge Cup.

I said that Richard Agar wasn’t to blame for the issues we’re currently having but it’s down to the players as well and Saturday just summed it up.

You would have expected some sort of reaction and at least a better fight in our local derby. We need someone in ASAP because it’s not looking like JJB is going to make a difference with that group of players.

We need the youth to come through and replace some of the seniors because they would look more promising and put the effort in and wear that blue and amber shirt with pride.

Hopefully, the rumours are true and we’re in for Ryan Carr, as he’ll use the academy players.

St Helens this Friday is going to be a shock to the system for the players.

The question on my mind now is how badly are we going to get beaten on Friday?

I’m definitely calling it to be over 50 points for St Helens who’ll think it’s another Challenge Cup game against a League One side.

It has been suggested that Leeds Rhinos chief Gary Hetherington approach England coach Shaun Wane with an 'open chequebook' to take on the top job at Headingley.

What’s going on?

Maybe I expected too much. At the start of the game, with the sun shining, the crowd behind the team, I allowed myself a glimmer of hope.
