Won't happen get off yer soap box!!

an excellant point by iestyn harris on radio leeds.
we had a lot of players at the world cup and have played 5 games in 20 games. at some point we were going to blow up. we had no energy tonight.

one thing i will point out is that if we had a bigger squad we could rotate more

So why haven't we just thrown the kids out for a game, and given the first team players a week off. Would have only cost us one game that way.

ask the coach.
ask why scruton wasn't replaced.
ask why eastwood wasn't replaced when the deal fell through

I can't get to the coach, so I have to ask you. I'm not buying into this idea that we're more tired, but have failed to do anything about it.

Scruton and Eastwood have clearly and obviously been replaced from within the squad. Otherwise we would have been going into games with a 15 man squad. A couple of further additions are obviously not the difference between us and the likes of Harlequins and Salford.

So what is?

What do you think I am? Some kind of coaching and management consultant? I'm just a regular amateur coach....and just one team this year too



Although anyone who's done any coaching will realise, knowing the stuff is only 10% of it. The hard part is getting the players to do it.

the two forwards have not been replaced(not counting buderus as a prop/second row).
we are light in the forwards compared to the last 4 or 5 years

Obviously they have


What role did those two players play in their time here?
Who played those roles this season? Nobody? The invisible man?


All besides the point really though.

you tell me who replaced them then.
and the pack have been doninated yet again so it is relevent.

too stupid to answer?

your lack of intelligence is duly noted

You miss Ellis big time I think. You need someone solid like him to put in the big hits. Pity for you guys that Eastwood didn't come.

Nobody's saying that you haven't "replaced" Ellis and indeed Scruton in terms of players in those positions, but would anyone say that it's been like for like?

Also, what's happened to your organisation and discipline and flair? A lot of RL fans used to enjoy watching Leeds play, whether they'll admit it or not!

if you want an adult debate you need to reply instead of being childish.
go on,try it.

or don't you have an answer?

Well, I asked first.
You still owe me an answer on the "British Justice" thread too, BTW.

So, are you going to answer:

What role did those two players play in their time here?

Or can you at least tell me how many times I need to ask those questions before you will answer them. Will save me an awful lot of copying and pasting.

have we signed a prop/2nd row?
have we promoted a prop/2nd row from within

the answer i believe is no.

ergo, the pack is lighter than last year. that simple enough for your simple brain

Clearly they have been replaced otherwise we would be going into games with a 15 man squad. The real question is have the been replaced by equivalent or better players?

One disappointing aspect seems to be that Bluey isn't getting the players to fulfil their obvious potential. Now this could be deliberate, to "save themselves" for later in the season when it "matters more". If this is the case it's a risky strategy as supporters will cotton on and just stop going to "games that don't matter" during the regular season.

Come on Tad, play along. It's easy enough. Two simple questions, asked...how many times now? Why can't you answer them?

they have not been replaced like for like as i have pointed out. the child fails to see this or chooses to play dumb.

Thankfully, someone who can see what's what.
Have the players been replaced by the same or better, or was that ever realistic? The players that remained, how have they progressed or regressed?
All players have an individual level of ability and potential. As a team they seem to be playing well below their ability, and having a couple of other players in the squad also playing below their ability clearly isn't the solution.
Anyway....watching Tad evade and get all grumpy is fun

Hey! Where did "like for like" come from?


Never knew the players had twin brothers of equal ability available to sign.

Why are you so unable or unwilling to answer those two simple questions?

This year the referees are allowing a more NRL style play the ball which means they are allowing it to be slowed down by the defending team. Leeds game is based on a quick play the ball and they arent as good at slowing the game down as other teams. Hence, teams are getting on top of us.

Why the RFL are allowing the game to be dominated by spoiling tactics I dont know.

i didn't evade. i pointed out we were light in the forwards.you obviously disagree. maths not your strong point?

Come on Tad, just answer, and we can move on. You know I'll keep asking until you do.
