you sure? - there's quite a bit of stiff competition

Well if he goes to Leeds he is guaranteed an England spot every time, no matter how poor his form or ability is.

Excellent point,.

Why is Charnly leaving Wigan ?

He's been very quiet today too

Obviously doesn't want to be here & already imagining pulling on the Leeds shirt.

BJB in return?

2004/2007/2008/2009/2011/2012
surely that's 6?

Well, as far as english teams go, he won't get many/if any better teams to play for than leeds. He'll most likely get a decent wack, be well looked after, and be playing in a very stable environment with a close knit, largely home grown team that are perennial grand final winners, i mean seriously, what's not to like?

Don't let your hull fc, leeds hating bias cloud your judgment on a [iplayers[/i point of view.

Let's not kid ourselves here. Hull beat leeds last week and AP has been mouthing off talking big since he took over, but they are still behind leeds in the league even though leeds have games in hand and key players out, they still have a long way to go before they are one of the big dawgs whereas we know leeds will be right in there when it matters most.

If tom can't go to the NRL and hull fc can't keep him, leeds is pretty much his best option.

why all the fuss about him going

slow start last year and not done anything this year, maybe he's reached his best and now he's on the way down

good luck to him he owes us nothing

What do you mean? the ''club as it is now''?

5th in the league with a few scalps and AP claiming world domination? It's hardly earth shattering stuff.

6th.


Anyway its a non-story. After all the fuss he made after the Luke Briscoe switch, there is no way that Adam Pearson will stand by and let Tom make the same move.

What exactly do you expect him to do ? Point a gun to his head ?

Tom made his mind up about leaving Hull over a year ago (if not longer) and we have offered him the best we can without disrupting other areas of the squad.

People can say all they want about where FC are as a club now but they are moving forward and to say we are 6th after entering April with only two wins must say a lot about the standard of other teams in SL.

.

Well by all acounts, our lord and saviour adam pearson christ no longer has control over the situation.

Apart from the challenge cup.

It would be wrong to say leeds don't care about the challenge cup because the players do.

However, when Gary Hetherington bought the club in 96 leeds had only won 3 championships in their history and his remit was to turn them for underachievers to winners. You can only do that by winning titles. So the club is structured around that. They will always be geared around playing their best in the playoffs. If the draw is favourable in the CC then it's always a possibility or theres always room for a big performance in the semis or the quarters, but the final is always abit too close to the playoffs.

It's actually funny you throw the CC in there because this years CC final will be the first domestic final, full stop, that leeds have failed to contest since the grand final of 2010! In fact the last season leeds failed to contest any major final was way back in 2006!

Any Leeds fan that thinks once Sinfield, McGuire, Peacock, Burrow, JJB etc. have gone they'll still be challenging is an idiot.

There's only been four, and you lost two of those.

How the hell can you make that assumption?

You know who they are going to sign or what youngsters they have coming through?

They aren't the idiot here!

Each player will be gradually phased out, replacements are already being slowly groomed. They aren't all going to to just suddenly leave one day.

Peacock and mcguire will probably be the first, with peacock retiring and i imagine with mcguires latest injury his days are now numbered, the last time he really hit his best was 2010. Burrow and sinfield will probably be the last to go from the list you mentioned. As much a clubman as jjb has been are you seriously suggesting leeds will struggle to replace a hardworking second rower?

Leeds always plan 2 or 3 seasons ahead, they have some young talent waiting in the wings as well as arguable the best young backline in the league. If you think they will just go away when those players retire than you are an idiot.

Are you for real?

How many have hull played in lately? how many have they won? How many grand finals have hull won? leeds have won 5 from the last 6. 6 from the last 9.

You say only 4 but that has been all the domestic finals available to them. Let's not get into a d*ck measuring contest here because you will lose.

Challenge Cup wins this millennium?

Invading the pitch and tearing down goalposts?

Classy fan base.
