Thank you. It drives you mad some of the reaction on here..
If money was no object i'm sure McClenan would love to bring in Inglis, Hunt, Gasnier (back from RU) etc etc..... but it's not. You have to get the balance right in the squad. He sounds like a good signing to me, he also kicks goals pretty decent by all accoutns so that will be usefull if Sinny is out/off the field...

That would be my guess.

Mine as well which is why we're saying about taking the cap into account and gettin the balance right

A prop and a second rower?

remembering we have now brought in
Delaney
Coady
Pitts
Amor!!

Hopefully we'll add eastwood to that or someone of that ilk.

Or his wife singing "It's me, it's Cathy I've come home again"

Yeah get eastwood and a peacock-esk type player and i would be pleased with that!

Whats our overseas quota now?
Leului (sp)
Webb
Donald
Delaney
Eastwood
Lautiti
Off the top of my head. How many are allowed for next season?

I think "Unpretty" by TLC would be more apt or the "Monster Mash"

Eastwood actually qualifies for a british passport so i think he would count as Federation trained but like the old "overseas quota" rules this one seems to have as many holes as a T-bag.

We sign 6 young British lads to one 23 year old NRL top 8 first teamer in a position that plenty have been complaining about for 2 years and still the moaning

Yup.

Add to that Coady, Amor and Pitts.

The week we went joint top of the league this place was a morgue. No posts. No discussion. Nothing.

Lose a game or sign a player and everyone finds their voice. They're moaning voice.

We have the worst fans in the league.

To me he fills a gap with experience and a reasonable amount of quality, without being top drawer.

Doesn't have SMiths versatility,but a decent replacement.

I would expect one or two more signings, with the cap space we have

In the words of the late* Bart Simpson:

"Well, you're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't."











[size=75* it is necessary to concede that Bart is not actually dead, this word was added only for dramatic effect.[/size

But they aren't Shenton,Burgess and westerman so don't count as "signings"

We need some cash to spend on the new SS so can't be throwing all of it away on new signings (ahem)

story isn't up yet from what i can see, but today's YEP mention he has missed three games in three years at the titans, and had a 100% appearance record this season (prior to weekend strain) for the club currently 3rd on the NRL 'ladder'

Interesting point. But IMO this messageboard is generally more interesting when things aren't going well. Amidst the knee-jerking scapegoaters the quality of posts has improved IMO in recent weeks.

The real decline in the messageboard happened in the 2004 season - being a Leeds fan hasn't been the same since the team has got the championship silver monkey off its back. Generally this has brought in more fekkwit supporters expecting silverware to be the norm.

I'm more than happy that a 23 year old who plays for a competitive NRL team is heading our way.

Average in OZ should equate easily into above average in Super League



Nice one Garry, now if you could get Mr Eastwood here soonest.......

But most of the moaners on here are pre 2004 fans?

Damn right they moaned, we don't have a salary cap at Leeds you know and we never give youth a chance. We should have signed Inglis, Brought Gasnier back from RU, Hunt, Lyon, Slater, Atkins...

Sack Gary Hetherington now.

Fair enough.

When I first heard this signing I wondered if he was a relation of the famous former Leeds player ?Paul Delaney, but sadly his only relation with the club seems to be playing alongside Mathers.

You can't add Coady, Amor and Pitts when they are already included in TP's six.

The standards on here really are falling.

I thought that six referred to the young players recently signed onto the club's scholarship programme that were mentioned on here recently?

Great, so we've signed another injury prone old aussie croc. oh, wait a minute.
