We sign 6 young British lads to one 23 year old NRL top 8 first teamer in a position that plenty have been complaining about for 2 years and still the moaning

Damn right they moaned, we don't have a salary cap at Leeds you know and we never give youth a chance. We should have signed Inglis, Brought Gasnier back from RU, Hunt, Lyon, Slater, Atkins... Sack Gary Hetherington now.

Fair enough.

When I first heard this signing I wondered if he was a relation of the famous former Leeds player ?Paul Delaney, but sadly his only relation with the club seems to be playing alongside Mathers.

Yup.

Add to that Coady, Amor and Pitts.

You can't add Coady, Amor and Pitts when they are already included in TP's six.

The standards on here really are falling.

I thought that six referred to the young players recently signed onto the club's scholarship programme that were mentioned on here recently?

story isn't up yet from what i can see, but today's YEP mention he has missed three games in three years at the titans, and had a 100% appearance record this season (prior to weekend strain) for the club currently 3rd on the NRL 'ladder'

TP will need to qualify his statement but he very recently mentioned six new signings including Coady, Amour and Pitts.

He doesn't need to qualifgy it to me at all. I understood him clearly, as did Andy Gilder.

I did include them, did we sign 6 academy lads plus Coady, Amour & Pitts?

I thought it was 3 of each for some reason.

Even better if it is 9 in total

Again (as a few days ago) I thought you did and that justifies my initial reply.

Did we sign six Academy players? Those that have stated Leeds have should be along shortly to quantify the claim.

Well he very kindly just has and you and Gilderdale clearly misunderstood.

Now if I can just figure out why we are referring to Soprano as TP we can get back on track.

The club have obviously signed more than 3 Academy players. There is 17 in a team for each Academy game each year and as players get older and move up a level they will need to be replaced.

So I'd guess the club have signed about 10 players for next year's Academy. Maybe even more on scholarship schemes.

Clearly Tony Poprano didn't understand himself.
