My thoughts exactly.

Now where are the folk who are quick to jump on GH and McD for their supposed failings. Another excellent re-signing. Generally we don't lose our home grown stars until a time when we're happy for them to move on and we've had their best years. If those individuals who are quick to have a dig are genuine supporters, you'd think they'd be just as quick to give credit where it's due on the retention front.

Watkins comments clearly show the players respect and appreciate how the club is run and the culture that has been created.

Why would the RFL pay part of Jonny Lomax’s salary to keep him in Super League? No NRL clubs are after him.

It’s not the job of the RFL to be paying part of players wages and the wrong thing to do IMO. It undermines the salary cap, which is supposed to make Super League more competitive.

Unfortunately this us true, saints only offered him a miniscule contract but resigned as RFl agreed to top up his wages. Not even one of saints best players but gets a RFL central contract, massive RFL own goal.

GH is holding the game back, but Leeds make money so why would he vote for change. His ***** of a wife nearly killed Hull FC, along with James Rule.

Reserve grade, salary cap, CEO - Nigel Wood's appointment was in a large part due to GH's backing.

GH has been brilliant for Leeds - but not all clubs are in the same situation as he is and perhaps he needs to consider how/help these clubs develop.

Why are those things on GH's head. You'd think he has the sole vote on all matters.

The reserve grade thing is funny that Leeds/GH gets stick for especially when Hull, Wite and Saints dropped from running a reserves this year.

You 4 of the other top 5 clubs with teams, you had Wakey and Leigh starting reserves and some other like Halifax and Keighley. Why wasn't that enough with the potential that more could join in the following years?

Leeds' don't need to be in the reserve league for it to work if its such a good idea.
