if wakey aren't careful they're going to be dragged into this mess with Huddersfield , so potentially there are 5 teams in the relegation battle. but have to agree we need to win 90% of our home game and beat London away for having a chance of staying up

Im convinced we've made a mistake in not replacing Furner with a top coach.. i really am. Praying it doesnt send us down.

Re: Relegation : Fri Jun 28, 2019 6:54 am  

I don't think we'll go down but we won't be far off

Re: Relegation : Fri Jun 28, 2019 6:59 am  

Lose to Catalans and it becomes that bit harder to see where we might pick up 3? More wins. I think there's every chance of going down tbh.

Re: Relegation : Fri Jun 28, 2019 7:24 am  

we've got Catalans to play twice hull KR, Huddersfield and London we need to be beating the teams around us and then picking up any more wins

With four of five teams in the mix, I understand why Leeds and Agar are saying it’s in our own hands but I’ve seen nothing this season to make me think we’re capable of that.
We need a bit of luck with some lack of form/injuries in the sides around us IMO.
Keep saying it but if we do go down the club will 100% have deserved it. Way too many slack decisions on recruitment for far too long has bitten the bum.
Not sure what shape Leeds would be in if we did go down. I mean, nobody’s dying but would imagine we’d lose some key players, have vultures circling all our young talent, lose loads of revenue and have brown pants over paying for the shiny stadium for starters.
Also could be an awful task trying to get back up again.
I’m guessing the SL would relax the entry rules/expand the number of clubs but...

Its very much at hetheringtons door. This has been building for a while and Hetherington is fully to blame for recruitment over the past 3 years. He got very very complacent.

Re: Relegation : Fri Jun 28, 2019 8:32 am  

Just hope we've room for one more to come in this season..

I think like most leaders, GH's time has come and now gone.
KS has made some errors, and the coaching appointment might be a critical one, but the oil tanker was already set for the rocks well before he arrived.
If you want to blame someone, it has to be GH who has been the common denominator throughout an abject effort at managing the transition away from the Golden Generation - which we had literally years to get right.
Instead we've been screwed by arrogance and a penny-pinching attitude to the most important investment area of the business, the players.
