Our succes for the last 12 years as been down to shrewd recruitment, some great bargain bucket signings and our great junior production line, and a tight wage bill/pay structure. Well the production line is in a minor slump and the shrewd signings have been poor. Sometimes you have to bust the budget and get the cheque book out. Wether that is this season or next off season, but we have to spend some money, for once.

With two new stands to pay for I wouldn't hold your breath.

What worries me is when you listening to the player interviews after the game there talking like there not far off but in my opinion there a million miles away from not being far off

We are miles off where we were last year. But we aren't far from having won at least 3 more games this year (Wire, Catalan and Cas). In that sense we aren't a million miles off.

you are right, but the thing is if we had got one of the scores in the second half we should have done we would have probably won the game and been talking of a well ground out win and a chance to now get on a good run. Our big names are clearly not firing at the moment, we desperately need McGuire back to control things from half back because it is like a rudderless ship at the minute.When we do which should be soon, if we can tidy some of the basics up (around the ruck and silly dropped ball) and stop giving away silly penalties that should go a long way to seeing a big improvement.If Not, panic!

Oh, come on. It's nigh on impossible [inot[/i to tackle that short-stop round the laughing-tackle (much as I hate the little bugger, I have to admit he is rather good, though).I pitty any game that has that waste of space officiating.

Not seen any of your game yet, but sounds interesting, at the very least.

What a wierd season we're having

I think what I was wanting to hear is what Jon Wilkin said after saints defeat against us ,we will have to wait and see if his captains speech worked when they play the pies this afternoon.

For all the guff our halves are getting at the moment I'd take pretty Mitch anyone over Luke Walsh. Not only can he not tackle, he completely ducked out of two attempts today (one a lame attempt at drawing an obstruction penalty when he could have definitely stopped a try) and I don't think I've seen him take a tackle yet.



The kit lady should save some money and not bother cleaning his whiter than white shirt.

I find it amusing that you think an iffy 2 on 1 strip was more of a benefit than a blatant knock on by hardacre in the lead up to Leeds' second try and an equally blatant forward pass for their third! Leeds may have found themselves in good positions, but they created virtually nothing and Cas rarely looked troubled. The real benefit though was Cas having so many influential players out as with them the game would've been over by half time.

there was nothing iffy about it. It was so blatant, so clear, so obvious a 2 on 1 strip that it managed to be two 2 on 1 strips.



i do find it amusing that even in victory your small village mentality shines through.

Ha ha! Big city bitterness oozing out mate! I'm sure you've enjoyed the sweetness of the recent successes so take the defeat on the chin.



Looks like you've got another opportunity to learn how to take defeat graciously!

Not today mate, we had absolutely everything from the ref. I have never seen such biased reffing in Leeds favour before. We lost because we are cr@p, and that is it. Every team must want to play us at the moment. We are championship standard at best.
