Did you really think there was going to be a whole ten pages dedicated to a broken leg, six weeks in pot, rehab, GF 11 weeks away, get well soon wishes?
It's called conversation. It starts in one place and ends somewhere else. At least (for a change) it's still a rugby discussion.

I don't know about anyone else but i'm more interested in whats happening now and in the future as opposed to 4 yeeas ago
As peed off as I was in 2005 at that loss,i've now moved on.
Back on the topic of Danny I hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.
Had the pleasure of speaking to him in person outside the Carnegie Bar at the pre season game and he's truely a great guy as well as a legend of the game.
Well said Cheeky & yes I've met Buderus aswell
He must be so frustrated about his first season in England which has promised so much only to be now curtailed.'"

| Quote ="G1"I was. And annoyed. I felt sorry for Barrie and agreed with the comments made earlier on the thread that whilst he had an awful game against the Bulls he kept asking for the ball in, in defeat.
I mentioned at the time that it is easy to have a low error count if you do not take the ball in and felt Barrie had been treated harshly.
None of this makes any of the statements I have sought to counter in this thread any more accurate.
We did not play Hull with 2 props. We did not play them with 2 forwards on the bench. Nobody can say with any certainty that different selections would have altered the outcome.
The 17 selected could have won that game. Had three players whose selection has never been questioned (Bai, Calderwood and Mathers) not made howlers we may well have won the game.'"
Calderwood also scored a wonder try that kept us in the game just at the point that Hull's physical superiorty was beginning to tell. As for the last Hull try Cooke simply ran between Sinfield and Ward both of whom were out on their feet.
Smith has always contended a smaller nimbler set of forwards would win the game - obviously influenced by the West Tigers who won the the NRL that year using that style - it was the wrong decision as was the decision to play Senior - hindsight is a great thing but coaches build their reputation on making the right decision when the "money-game is on"
Anyone who thinks his treatment of McDermott was anything but personal malice is deluded - Smith's arrogance was such that he believed whatever side he put out Leeds would win - sadly he was proved catastrophically wrong and it took him another two years to recover.

It's not what he did to David personally - you have to understand David had a significant amount of money invested personally in sponsorship of one of the up and coming young players at the time who reportedly "hated" working under Tony Smith.
It would therefore be disloyal of him to show any respect whatsoever for Smith's achievements in being the most successful title winning coach in the club's history.

| By saying "at the time" is this to say said player is not on Leeds's playing roster anymore?

Given his own contribution to the penalty count at Wigan, his remarks at the end of the article made me laugh.

[i"We need to look at where we're going wrong.
We are giving too many penalties away and there are too many errors.
It has been the same all year, we have talked about it, but we don't seem to be putting it right."[/i
No 'we' don't do we.
Puts pay to all those rumours that they aren't addressing the problems though.

Up until Friday he had only given away 5. For some reason he doubled his tally on Friday
