He didnt look right at all to me.

Yep, he's looked to be nursing an injury since his return and when he chased down a break the other night he was in pain.

Is it 2022 yet?

Marty, you are reading my comments, are you starting to change your mind. a lot of people on here are amber and blue through and through, i accept that and I will always get shot down when I speak my mind, these last few days more and more people are coming onto this site and saying we simply are not good enough, if anyone says we are they are kidding themselves.
You finish with mid table mediocrity do you think we will get to mid table, at the moment it seems a long way off, all mid table brings is what is called cream of the crap, we stand above the teams who cannot make the top 8. All i want is honesty, someone at Leeds must know what is going on and why are we accepting players from other teams where they want rid. The old mushroom joke rings true, we are kept in the dark and fed a load of shi*e, and some on here accept it. When McDermot was here we tried bringing in sub players and he tried the experiment of making them into top class players, some of these players are still here and are being given new contracts, it beggars belief. We have been able to get two / three/ four quality signings, but put a Rolls Royce engine in a bus and you still have a bus. Kids coming through look good but these kids are being held back by other players who candidly are not good enough. The recruitment policy has to change, no cast offs from other clubs and then making out we have secured a quality player, start bringing the kids through and stop giving under-performing players new contracts. Agar I have been hard on him, previously you spoke about effort, well there is a lot of huff and puff going on but sadly we are lacking a lot of quality in the team and this is reflected in the overall performance. Sadly its not a good time to be a Leeds supporter, getting top quality players into the team is hard, its harder still to get rid of sub players who are on contract.

Brodie im not sure ive changed my opinion too much ive never been a big fan of several players, ive criticised the contract extensions of certain players and ive always mocked and cajoled posters who thought we could rival Saints and Wigan. I was told i was being negative when I said Eastmond was a gamble.

We are where we are. Injuries have impacted this year for sure but ultimately the team isnt good enough.

I can live with a small amount of dropped ball and the odd nightmare game, but his overall performances need to be a lot better and more consistent. He's not looking like a marquee centre at the moment - way off in fact. This needs to change if his contract is to be renewed, but I think he should be given some lattitude/opportunity in the coming weeks if the attitude is there in training.

Looking at the centres, if Newman is able to come back in and continue where he left things (a big IF, and he needs time, we don't want another Watkins happening), one of the starting positions is nailed down. As things stand I don't think either Sutcliffe or Hurrell are top 4 quality players in this position, although they haven't had much chance yet this season. I'd rather give Broadbent a go at this point than try Briscoe there, however.

If Handley is out again I think we’ll see Broadbent in the Centres again, Im looking forward to seeing him in his natural position.

Newman will take a while to get back up to speed and we shouldn’t expect too much of him on his return

As for Hurrell i am a fan but his performances on his return have been terrible, the thing is all players are different we see some players whi want a deal up their performances but some players the uncertainty affects their performances and they can be trying too hard, unfortunately Hurrell appears to be in the latter category

You're talking about the Bailey Principle Chris. He'd spend most of his contract going through the motions, then turn it on in his last year and get an extension. Maybe he should be Konrad's advisor

No way in hell we should give this fella another deal.

Newman
Broadbent

Our future is right there. Two centres there for the next 5-8yrs+

Konrad Hurrell has to go.

Koni has given 10x more to this club than some players not getting any stick. Just don't think centre is good for him anymore....

I also think not having a half back giving him good ball hasn’t helped, same with Martin.

Were only 7 games in theres a lot of rugby to be played still this year

That’s the worst performance I’ve seen from Konrad in a Leeds shirt, he literally cost us the game

The teams inability to turn field position into points cost us the game not 1 individual player.

He's been poor so far this season. Think people forget that he's been in the dream team for 2 seasons. Get a half back playing 6 and I reckon he could get back to near best. Give him a 1 year with an option for the club for a second.

I think he was extremely lucky to be picked in the dream team on either year.

He is a likeable guy but he makes too many errors and misses too many tackles. He is also extremely unfit and appears to take a knock every time he takes the ball in. He always seems to be walking back into position.

I am not sure he does enough positive to substantially outweigh his limitations. Given he is playing for a contract, I would have expected him to have got into better shape during the offseason, however, he is not professional like a Sinfield, Gale, Newman is.

Jeez If people critisize Koni so much, what does it leave our other players, as he's one of our best!

Not on recent performances. He needs to improve if we are to offer him a deal which should be on much reduced terms. Our priority should be to bring in top 6.Centre is a position where we are well covered.

Time for him to leave. We have the centre's now. His job is done. He can play elsewhere from the end of the year and hopefully the club agree.

Whilst we have depth at centre I don't think we have that ability to bust the line without Hurrell. He does make mistakes but he's also our biggest threat. Rocks and diamonds I'm afraid. Difficult decision for the management.

I agree.

Jeez , He gets paid a fortune and can not get fit or defend , i admit going forward he is a threat but not that much with our half backs unable to give him quality ball

Our young centres are nowhere near Hurrel's level when he is on form yet. Think we need to keep him, as is great to watch sometimes too. Reduced terms will be tricky as may be other clubs willing to pay more........ Let's see...

A lot may depend on how Harry comes back.He is a very good strike player.Broadbent we haven't seen at centre for a run of games.If we Harry does come good again i wouldnt be overly concerned going into next season with a good 6 and those 3 centres.

As weve seen this year because of injury/form having just two good centres is not enough, if he will accept a reduced contract hes worth keeping

we haven't got 2 good centres why keep a bad one
