As a Leeds fan I know about the sh*t times

good post and very true IMO.

Eastmond can't just step into longs shoes and that's same with all the young players. It takes time.

IMO sir mac is taking huge huge gamble by going all out youth.

We should have been bringing in 2 players each year to keep the squad fresh. To many players have been allowed to go with no players coming in.

It's a mistake IMO . We don't know how good dixon, ashurst, dean, lomax and co are going to be and how long it will take them to hit a level we expect.

Then next year we will lose cayless, long, gilmour and maybe kc.

I for 1 have my doubts about all out youth. When the likes of fozzard left we should have brought a like for lime replacment and same with most other players that have left over last 3 years.

Sir mac has never let us down in past so I'm willing to back him.

Just hope he can cope without cc and old Trafford revenue coming in. If he's got it wrong it will set club back years but we will z
soon see if he got it rite again.

Beat me to it

These are great times, watching the youth develop and saying goodbye to great players. It's not all about trophies and finals, it's about how the club develops.
Be brilliant to watch Wire V Huddersfield, could be a classic and will be hard to call the winner

Saints were beaten today by a better team plain and simple. Had they of won would people still call for the coaches head?

I think at the same time we are doing Hudds a massive discredit. They played a great game today throwing 3 into the tackle and slowing us down were needed. Players stood up and were counted and that did them the biggest favour in the end.

They also did a great job on Gardner too!

Yes we have players in their twilight and yes we have players carrying knocks but top of the league and to get this far in the CC most teams could only dream of.

Even the great Wigan sides of the 80-90s lost at times. Its sport!

This thread is a utter disgrace. For christ sake we have reached a Challenge Cup Semi Final and are currently sitting at the top of Super League. What more do you people want exactly??? We lost today because we were outplayed plain and simple. I am not using injuries as an excuse as everybody has them but I am sure if Cayless, Long and Fa'asavalu had of been fit it might have been a different result.

Just be grateful of what uve got because one day all this sucess will come to an end. Potter is doing a fine job under the circumstances and we all should back him and the team. Get a bloody grip!

Just looking at this and other similiar threads and I dread to think what would have happened and been said if we had won today then lost the final to the Wire

Me too pal!
