It gets worse....I'm hardly instilled with confidence with recent decisions at the club, starting with the actual recruitment of Cross at the expense of Ambler in the first place. No effective plan to cover for the known long term absentee at the top of his game and the other coming to the end of his more effective days.

Persistence in playing yesterday's men.

This season has been a huge disappointment so far.

McDermot as coach. Ughh ! Kirke,Bailey and Hauraki in favour......Burgess, Ambler, Amor out on loan. Singleton and Clarkson languishing in the reseves. Great

The club is creaking to the finishing line for 2011 ...the halcyon mid naughty period is well and truly over

Same here.

To the Giants Griffin is just another squad player and to Leeds he’ll probably become one of our main prop forwards in years to come. It’s the most miserable time I’ve endured as a Rhinos fan. Even Dean Lance was more tolerable than this!

I am sure I must have endured worse times but it all feels a bit flat at the moment.

how good is this news about Griffin? Why would he move from Huddersfield who appear to be on the up and up. Are they getting rid to bring someone better in? If so we should be competing to sign that guy, not Griffin,good solid steady player that he is.

My opinion reflects most who have posted on here;

Burgess – a little surprised, he was showing some good form and even though he wants to head down-under I would have thought that we’d keep him on until at least the end of the season. Makes me think we’re clearing cap space for someone.

Cross – underwhelmed when he signed, underwhelmed when I saw him play and not really bothered to see him go.
