| Quote Sal Paradise="Sal Paradise"It says the club struggled to cope with a level of adversity it should have been able to cope better with.

Plenty of unused rugby pitches on higher ground - how often does Stanningley get used during the day - they have at least three pitches all on higher ground. The pitch issue is a red herring.
One of the weeks in January was spent in Florida - which was planned so no change there.
Are we seriously saying the club couldn't organise a customised gym - given all the property Caddice will own and their connections with gym machinery manufacturers - as I said good job their business didn't rely on their ability to react with speed and purpose - shambles.'"

Notwithstanding the Borg-like collective mindset of unconscious complacency in operation at the club, they are the best run club in Super League.

I wouldn't have said it was a laughing matter?
The fact the club has come public with the limitations of its disaster recovery plan would suggest they don't don't think it is either
I consider the Leeds management as the best in SL - this is disappointing that the club have allowed this disruption to impact performance in such a detremental fashion.

Not sure the floods could have been predicted but think the repair to the training facility (except the pitch) has taken too long

I think the Training Ground and Equipment should move to Wetherby. It's still in Leeds and you'd be able to monitor the flooding situation for the club.
Wetherby. LS22. Where you live.

| Flooding by the River Aire is very predictable. Businesses can sign up to get flood warnings direct by phone from the Environment Agency. While a few hours warning might not be enough to do everything there may be a fair bit of equipment that can be moved.
Buildings can be made flood-proof with a bit of investment too - like having flood gates on doors, airbricks that close when the water rises, electrics moved so that plugs are at waist height or higher etc. As for the pitches - that's a bit more difficult but having a backup arrangement is basic business continuity planning.
It's not rocket science. I'd be happy to advise Leeds Rugby on this for a small fee.

| Although Denmark (Euro 96 Soccer) and Scotland (RUWC 2015) were delighted with the facilities, the grass at Weetwood isn't up to the same high quality world class sports scientific standard which Leeds Whinos are accustomed to. It allegedly lacks pigmentation and is considered to be a tad chlorophyll deficient. Moreover, it's considered too long by about 1.5 mm resulting in boot stud chafing!
Poor mites. No wonder they've been all at sea with their performances thus far in SL, photosynthesis notwithstanding.

I think you will find that Wetherby whilst having a Leeds post code is certainly not in Leeds.
