Jamie Jones-Buchanan gave an emotional post-match interview as he opened up on the 'underlying', 'habitual' and 'cultural' problems rife within the Leeds Rhinos squad at present.
Jones-Buchanan, a bonafide Leeds Rhinos legend after his trophy-laden playing career, provided no hiding place for the faltering squad he has inherited as interim coach, citing their inability to show resilience and leadership qualities when they are needed most.
The Rhinos produced one of the worst first-half performances in living memory as Leeds fans watch a Headingley horror show in which their side left the field at half-time 28-0 down. Though they mustered up some form of response after the break, they crashed out of the cup 34-18 and recorded a sixth defeat in seven games.
