Latest James Bentley incident sums up Leeds Rhinos' big problem perfectly

I was on the radio for Leeds Rhinos' defeat to Wakefield Trinity and it was a real eye-opener. I thought when they lost to St Helens, when they should have got one point and probably two, that it would hurt them physically and mentally and two weeks on, they've lost to the bottom two teams.

Nevertheless, that isn't acceptable. I watched them Sunday and the left arm doesn't know what the right is doing. They are well and truly lacking leaders and from conversations I've had it is not a happy camp. They're void of ideas and they've just lost to a team that had lost 15 straight matches and played with a man less for 25 minutes.

I think the real eye-opener for me was James Bentley and when he was brought off at the end. He comes off shrugging his shoulders, throwing things and sulking. As a coach or a player, I couldn't be having that.
