We have reached one GF in 4 years - it could argued that 2015 was a blip on the back of all the emotion of two great players' last season. 2016 Leeds finished 9th, 2014 Leeds finished 6th, 2013 3rd looks like a trend to me - perhaps it you that is knee jerking one good season

That is a pretty ridiculous way to look at it
Why would you focus on the last 4 years, we have had the same coach for the past 6, why draw a line at 2013?

Another way took at it is that this is the first time in 17 years that Leeds haven't got to a semifinal, a bad season sure, but by no means a long term trend.

First time we haven't made a domestic final since 2006.

My thought is that this season has turned into something of a purge. It may have been brutal at times but has undoubtedly brought focus on what needs to be done moving forward.

I have total faith in GH to get it right.

2 years ago? We won the treble a year ago and played fantastic rugby in doing so. Why would anyone be so short-sighted and knee-jerk as to get rid of half the team and backroom staff because of one poor year? The previous year clearly shows their ability. It's utter madness and can't be described as anything but that.

Mate, why do you even bother engaging with this div? Life's too short!

Thank god some of you lot aren't running the club! If Segeyaro stays, we need an organiser at 6. That's it. Ward will be like a new signing.

Re: Garbage - get rid of him 2 : Sun Aug 14, 2016 8:39 am  

Ward will be captain. It's a question of when not if. It should be 2017.

Mags is hitting his sell by date, next year he'll be past it. He's not a leader and relied on his ability to spot a gap and be through it; can still spot the gap but the legs just wont get him there these days.

Burrow makes one or two 'darts' a game. Not enough to justify his very valuable 7 shirt.

Delaney spends more time on the physio bench than on the pitch - gives 110% but his body just can't take it any more.

Galloway just hasn't done anything to impress - he came with all the right credentials but nothing more than your run-of-the-mile, ten-a-penny SL props. For what we're paying we could get better.

what are we paying for Galloway? I don't recall seeing any figures published

Re: Garbage - get rid of him : Sun Aug 14, 2016 9:13 am  

add the the ,frankly, bizarre mullally signing to that list. wouldn't shock me if JJB retired too. and he should. glittering career and still great stats but watched him Friday and he struggled.

Those suggesting we bin off under contract players who've been part of the club for many years need to think about how that will affect future player loyalty.

Some of these players have taken unders to stay - if the club don't then repay that loyalty in kind, what will happen?
