There's an article on the [url=http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/rugby-league/We39ll-not-be-caught-on.6567590.jpYorkshire Post[/url website about preparations for the tour and linking up with Brian Smith in New Zealand.

He was looked upon to be the main playmaker for the most of the season and was outstanding. He was in the form of his life before his injury.



Are you on drugs? McGuire had about 5 or 6 outstanding, world class games in a row before his injury. He had a little blip in the CC final but didn't everybody. He single handedly won us the game against Hull away, then played a major role in winning us the playoff against pies.

He means internationally I think, rather than for Leeds. Something which is difficult to argue with for a lot of players to be honest

I should have emphasised " giants " AND giants. It's time for the fartowners in particular this time to suffer the ignominious crushing of body and spirit.

It is indeed. There is only a handful of players I can think of that brought there club form into the national squad.

You could actually gain a modicum of credibility if you could better acquire knowledge of the English Language. Until then you're better off just reading and learning.

Might it not be the quality of the opposition rather than the carrying across of ( N B .."their ") club form that is the issue ??

P s you've a free reign to counter-attack...... I will be offline for a considerable time ... : )

It must be a long,long time (if ever) that Hunslet have had more inclusions in a national side than we have at a major international tournament.









(not the case if Greg Eastwood is still classed as a Leeds player,obviously)

The last time I checked this was a rugby forum not an English grammar one. Whilst we are on the grammar subject can you care to explain what the two question marks are all about, which have a perculiar space before them? What a foooking dipstick, decides to pull somebody up on their spelling and completely fooks his own up in the process.

This also comes from the guy who constantly talks the most delusional rubbish man could come up with.

I knew exactly what you meant with your giants reference. However, you know as well as I do that posting rational opinion on here involves swimming against a huge tide of tery, and I wasn't going to pass on the opportunity to make another rational point.

Well said Sir Nantwich in Exile... you've nailed it. Our players do carry their SL form into the international arena. Problem being, said SL form isn't even close to what might be considered good enough to compete successfully at international level, nor is said SL form even remotely world class. If truth be told, said SL form is often discovered to be out of it's depth in the international arena against bona fide world class opposition players.

Don't expect sundry ts to agree with the blatantly obvious though. They are already lining up Steve McNamara and this England squad as the worst ever assembled, simply because Tony Smith is no longer the coach and sundry "world class" Leeds players aren't included to usher in a new and successful 4-52 or 16-46 dawn.

So how does it change Keith?

How do you raise the standards of SL to the point where the players within it become capable of challenging the antipodeans on their own soil?

Chuck us some answers rather than statements of the blindingly obvious.
