He should never wear the shirt again imo. Thrown his teddies out instead of getting his head down and improving his game at time at a time when the team needs to come together and kick on.

He won’t play again. This will work out for us though. Best all round. Let’s see who we can get in…..

He is a player that has always given his all for the team. Liked and respected by other team members, I'm sure that there is more to this than meets the eye.
He has been unlucky with his tenure at Leeds with injuries but his effort and commitment has never been in doubt IMHO.
I think there is a better player in there than we have seen and always rated him while he was at Huddersfield. Maybe we werent the right team at the right time for him.
I wish him well wherever he ends up

Sounds like there's no relationship at all between Smith and Leeming. That could help explain issues within the squad, as Leeming's a senior player in his fourth season. He'll have his mates who he would have been talking to even if he wasn't talking to Smith.

Clearly affected Reece Martin who said he was dumbfounded to hear Leeming was leaving and it showed it Martin`s game on the night.
Maybe one or two others were affected by it.
I agree a guy with intentions on becoming Englands #9 and our captain last year should have set a better example than disrupting the camp just because he wasn`t get picked.
Get a grip and try to prove the coach wrong Kruise.

Rohan heard a couple of days before the cas game. By the Thursday Leeming's being shown the door. The spirit of Brian McDermott lives on

I don’t like what Leeming has done one little bit. Extremely poor attitude imo and it looks like it’s been building for a while. It’s no wonder we’ve started so poorly overall this season.

Certainly makes Smith's opinion that he's not club captain material look pretty sound doesn't it

Yep, totally agree.

The captaincy thing would have stung as well. He was in the YEP talking about how he wanted to be captain again not long before Smith said there wouldn't be one. For whatever reason it sounds like things just fell apart.

There was a valid reason. Despite great effort his decision making and defence were not what Rohan expects at this level. If you watch the Hull game again fir an example, he runs down a blind alley x2 on 5th tackle, when we were perfectly lined up. I called this out at the time as absolutely unacceptable . He was told that in typical blunt Aussie way. Think he’s too old to relearn the game, so looking for a team who he can actually improve…..

hehas run down blind alleys from day one. I've called it more than a few times.

Yup, it’s so frustrating. Why had nobody in management called him out before? Was so obvious, yet Dwyer seemed to get all the stick on here…!
