Because theres not enough force and because the waves will hit the edge and backfire, causing the leaf to repel back the way it came from.

Why cant you cause a floating leaf to move to the edge of a pond by throwing stones behind it?
So long as the stone is not of a large size to cause a bow wave to push the leaf towards the shore, the stone when entering the water causes a depression in the water, a sort of hole if you like. Something has to replace the water and it is the water itself that heals itself so to speak. This draws the water back to fill up the space caused by the stone, also bringing the leaf back to its orriginal position, or near enough.
What holds the projectile in a trebuchet?
The projectile otherwise known as the stone ball was held by a "sling" which was like a rope-like sac that was attached to the edge of the throwing arm. After the ropes were pulled, and the arm fell, the throwing end would launch up in the air, then the sling would release the projectile in the air. I think this worked well as the sling held the projectile well enough.
