is he only 26??? seems to have been around for ages. You at the catalans game fella?

What is it with you? Why don't you try and get reinstated on the wakey/Cas board then when you post on here we'll know you're trolling.

Just think what these people would be saying if they were watching our team of the late 80s early 90s.

Oh, they wouldn't be saying anything would they because they wouldn't be at the games.

I can't believe that some posters on here call themselves supporters.

A thread about rumours of comings and goings and the slagging of returns.

PAH!

Keep going you two, but no matter what you say the same one or two will keep coming back to knock the whipping boy of the month.

Boyd2 says Griffin has signed for Rhinos on p10 of Cross and Burgess topic on Leeds site.

Are you the same Ivor C&G Scarf who has been critical of players and coaches in the past? Why don't cut out the pompous posturing and explain where i have got it wrong.That would require some rugby insights.

Never mind insights..what rumours have you heard of late.

Rumours

Griff - staying for 1 year / Signing for 3 yaers / going to leeds / saints / wigan

Fa'alogo - staying / going to Wolves / back to oz / signing an extension


Cudjoe - signing an extension / going to Leeds / Saints / Wolves going to RU

Eorl - signing until 2020 / going to Oz after 2013 / retiring and opening a teashop in Harrogate

wardle / jerry / bruno / simpson - signing til the end of 2015 / leaving to establish a barbershop quartet

Source... someone in our pub knows the brother of an ex player (circa 1997).

Heard Eorl had a MASSIVE fallout with them 4 when they mentioned 'barbershop'....

The one who criticised a certain coach we once had. Can't think of many, if any, players I've constantly whipped out in the open. Even if I did once do it, I've learned a thing or two about players reading the forum and the effect it's had on some of them so these days I keep most of my criticisms to a small, select group of people, ie I moan in private. I most certainly do not pick on a layer and constantly beat him to death.

I apologise that you caught the wrath of my tongue, but I'm just fed up with the constant berating of players.

As for the rumor of Griffin going, I for one would be sorry to see this happen. Over the last two years he has really raised his game and become our most consistant front rower. Further to this I feel his form is now hitting it's peak of his career.

BH barely ran the ball back - he nearly always passed because he kept getting hammered. I have watched the giants for many many years - the reason they are being so successul now is because they are so much more well drilled - they dont break formation and stick to a plan. I'm not sure why you have such a big downer on this lad but i bet you were jumping up and down and chanting his name on a few occassions when hes pulled us out of the s**t. either support the TEAM or "go away" to another.

I apologise for this outburst. My ire was up and I posted without my usual reflective considerations. I most certainly was not singling cbj out for constantly berating players. There are others who do it far more effectively.

Truce.

Wow

IMO I think he has had a poor start to the season but has steadily growing in form.

You are the first to defend any of our players but such an outburst like this is very unusual CBJ. Is his future not claret & Gold?

Gosh CBJ you really have it in for the lad, he's not that bad and a very shy young bloke.

How many times has he been voted MOM (4 maybe 5), and how many times has he been interviewed on the Telly? ------Never!
What you are saying about him has to hit home.

=#FF0000No need for last bit

Lee

Eh?

Sculthorpe left at the end of 2009 season and was injured all 2010 season at Bradford, Mason was a potential 2011 signing. There is a year between them.

I told you in the strictest confidence.

You also forgot about the player about to replace shorts for a skirt...

Am sure people who actually now Leroy know why he doesnt get interviewed on the telly.

He is a young decent kid and doesn't deserve the rubbish he is getting on here.

My son plays for newsome and Bruno and Leroy have been to give out medals/ trophies etc- notice Leroy never does the "on stage" stuff like the Monty for eorls testemonial or the pantomime- Leroy is even shy talking to 8 year olds!

Exactly

We all have players that we like or dislike and players that we consider better players than others. That is only natural. The players themselves will know that there are players in the team who are more skillful than themselves. Some weeks they play better than others, some they don't. But I can't believe any player would go out and not play to the best of their ability. So, I don't think they should be pilloried on a public forum if they don't meet the standards we think they should be meeting. Nathan obviously sees what each player brings to the table and will take steps to correct any shortcomings the players have. Our job is to get behind ANY player deemed suitable to play in Claret and Gold, even our least favourite players, until they are no longer part of the club. Even more so upon learning that the players read these forums. Not very encouraging to read your own fans hate you. We're all one big team. Players, coaches and fans alike. Let's get behind the squad and win something for a change. IMO.

Rant over.

It is always hard to judge an indaviduals performance when there are certain positions in a team that very heavily depend on different combinations. A good no 6 needs a good no 7 to bring out the best in them and vice versa. This is particularly the case with wing and centre partnerships.

Both Leroy and Lawrence are young and have strengths and weaknesses but as a partnership i think they are excellent. If they were to play regularly together i could see them building a great understanding which could endure for 10 years. That is what i would like to see happen with them together.

Let wardle, jerry and Hodgson fight it out for the other two back positions but leave Bruno and Leroy together.

no gotta go to a birthday barbequee at in laws average age 65, so 2nd game in a row im missing, not happy should be on a sunday

Why the edit?????
cbj comes on here and rubbishes everything and everbody and you fly to the defence faster than a rat up a drain. Any wonder I don't post on here as I would like.
