but I think 2 in a row let alone 3 was exceeding our dreams at Leeds after our record in the 80s-90s

No question. I'd have settled for one in a row at the time much as I would a Challenge Cup now but that doesn't make G1's statement of fact correct now does it?

Yes, I just re-read what you wrote and knew that was coming next.

As mentioned, the club had already achieved the unheard of when it won 2 GFs in a row. Then it did 3. Did everyone expect or demand 4 and 5?

As also mentioned, GH has put the club on a footing where it is not reliant on on-field successes going forward.

I actually can't believe, even though I am not surprised at, some of the drivel directed to GH by the usual suspects. I guess they have been building up to this through three or four years of frustration for them but success for the club. Now is the time to release. Ooooh, It must feel soooooo good.

I agree wholeheartedly with that.


GH manages to lead us to 3 in a row, and 4 titles in 6 years. You'd think that would cut him a bit of slack? But NOOOOOOOOOOOO! HOW DARE HE LOAN OUT BURGESS?!

You could hear those branches snapping 10 minutes ago. It was like thunder as it got nearer and nearer and nearer and nearer. Then became an anticlimax.

I too would have GH as CEO of my sporting organisation before Sal or Gotcha, it's a no brainer. But I certainly wouldn't be sucking his purple helmet even when he's put in a poor 18 months performance.

Quantify how GHs performance has been poor plz.

BTW, a therapist would go to town on that post of yours. Clearly fixated with me and a number of sexual references. I too am married but I am flattered by the interest and mildly curious.

It could be a boxed ticked. I'm open minded. Life is for living.

No but I thought I did. Only a matter of time .... I can wait.

Re Burgess. The issue isn't just that he's been loaned out, it's that Kirke has been selected to play prop in his place. I expect most props would feel pretty peeved at that level of insult.
