| I think I may just have to get one now!
We have signed some fantastic talent - probably the best (on paper) pack we have ever assembled in terms of reputation/potential/quality.
There shouldn't be a pack better than ours next season.
Even if we don't change our style of play that much, I can still see our backs doing better.
at the moment, we have Hadley/Whiting/Thompson as dummy runners and defences don't worry. Next season we will have Pritchard and Manu so they will draw defenders to them

| Your pack will give you good go forward but you still need a half back who will direct them. If you look at this season what you have at 6 and 7 have not been consistently good enough. Pryce was excellent against us at Newcastle but age and injuries mean will he play more than half your games next year ?

Pryce fitness record is excellent, just a hopefully a one off, Sneyd directs us and has got better as the season has gone on and I expect him to improve more next year.
We also have plenty of cover in the halfback for the first time in years, with Carlos, Abdul and HTW.
Our main problem is in the backs and if the gambles don't work we could struggle to score trys again.

| On the pass thing, I am still undecided, I want to see how we do the next few games before I decide.

I know what you mean Dave. I feel torn about whether to renew or not. On the one hand it feels like a betrayal not to renew. On the other hand what I have been seeing by and large on the pitch has worn me down this season to breaking point.
But the recruitment for next season really has been top notch IMO and that might have just swung me in the direction of renewing again. Maybe, just maybe, it finally is going to be jam today instead of tomorrow.

| I'm not renewing. Away games from my Leeds home for 2016 plus the occasional home game.

Now I get why we have signed so many forwards. They're not planning on playing Frank the Tank, he's our new sales recruit!

| We will be buying. No-one can argue that we're not recruiting for success. It would be churlish of anyone not to want to follow that.
One thing is certain, Pearson and Motu will not tolerate some of the losses this year again.

Bang on. Some top quality coming in. If Radford hasn't delivered by Easter he'll be "toast" to use a Burnsyism. Wonder whether they'll need to customise shorts for Frank like they did for Moa.

I vividly remember his debut against Huddersfield away, those shorts certainly seemed a bit on the tight side.

| Excited by the forward pack we have built, but not renewing while Radford's in charge. Intend to pick and choose my games, as let's face it you're not exactly going to struggle to get a decent seat even at last minute with the ways gates have dropped. The new 'print at home' tickets mean its even easier to decide to go last minute and still get decent seats in a group together.
Its a shame because if the club employed a top quality, experienced head coach I'd be happy to hand over my pass money right here right now.

| I didn't buy a pass this year and until today had little plans to do so again.
But it's difficult not to acknowledge AP commitment to the club in terms of signings, and could argue that deserves support.
I genuinely feel torn, I want to support the club I love and am desperate to see a good season where we compete week in week in out and challenge the top 4 clubs. But part of me just thinks it's the same old story of 'always next year'?
People say if LR doesn't start well he will be toast, but if we lose the majority of the first 8 games, the season may well be over in terms of doing anything good.
I am now edging towards buying a pass though.... please don't let me down again FC!

Good post and agree with the sentiments. The problem I have is LR is still the coach, doesn't matter who we sign, he is picking the team and preparing the team for each match. Hope I'm wrong but expect a repeat of the last two years. I'm sick of driving 120m to home games to see that brand of rugby. Easier to go to my local away games and over the hill to the Lancs away matches. As I say hope I'm wrong but nothing changes my mind to fork out for a pass in 2016.

That's my worry too, its like giving a McDonalds Trainee some top quality ingredients and expecting him to cook up a Michelin Star standard meal!

We've exceeded your expectations from early March though. Pleasing.

Sharp didn't sort this, nor Agar, nor Gentle. It's not a Radford-specific issue, but it is disappointing.

Really disappointing there has been some great centres available, if only we had signed the likes of Thornley or Minns.

| I'd like to buy a pass but unsure as yet if I will.
My dislike for Radford as our coach is the only thing stopping me but it's a huge hurdle to get over for me personally.
2 years of dross under him has seriously ruined my enthusiasm and as exciting as our recruitment is I'm still loathed to attend whilst he is in charge and that hurts as I really want to support the club wholeheartedly.

If you really think the last 2 years have been "dross", then you're unlikely to notice any improvement, however well we play.
