Nick Scruton (who ?) : Sun Mar 15, 2009 11:49 pm  

Can we add his name to those players who have left Leeds to 'better themselves' (or some such like), but in reality see their careers melt away ?

We've won five on the bounce already, whilst Bradford's only league point has come in a scraped draw.

He wouldn't have an agent with the initials DH by any chance would he ?

Now now! No need to kick a man when hes down!! Lol. They might sneak 8th and win it from there!

I am sure he's earning well but you have to wonder about Job satisfaction.

Is the Odsal dressing room a happy place right now.

If we're going to sign someone never mind this centre nonsense. let's break the bank for Burgess (S) as Ellis and Eastwood's replacement.

Is Sam Burgess all he's cracked up to be? I'm yet to be convinced, despite him looking really good in 2007 when he got the GB call. He was bobbins against Wigan the other week IMO, and was against us last season when we came up against him.

If he played in a better squad, youd see the best of him.

He is better than any prop on Leeds books.

He had an ankle injury against Wigan.

He's the best young British forward around, IMO.

Used as a 2nd rower in a dominant team he'd be devestating, IMO again.

Fair enough. I'm not saying he isn't, I just haven't seen enough of him to judge to be honest. I will not be convinced however until I've seen abit more with my own eyes. Personally I'm a big fan of Hock as the best Britsh backrower around, despite his obvious flaws.

Feel free to keep living in the past with your 'left Leeds then won stuff' list.
