THE HALL/MOON PARTNERSHIP....

I night throw a cat amongst the pigeons here but here goes...

I think that they dont gel

Moon is a fantastic centre and one of our stand out players for sure

The problem, i think, is that when moon draws in the defenders and then passes to Hall its often a back hand side pass at various levels/speeds and Hall never knows what pass he's gonna get, Hall is best at getting the ball in his hands and barging defenders out the way, for me, moon needs to be less flashy and give Hall the ball sooner and let him do his stuff cos alot of times moon holds on to it for too long and when Hall finally gets it he needs to cut inside and then the chance is gone

Id like to see how BJB and Moon work together and Jimmy and Hall, that would at least even out the quality at each side of the pitch, i think the opposition make sure the hall/moon side gets defended more stringent than the other

If its Baldwinson it will inept on an epic scale - it would be akin to Wigan letting a young Sam Tomkins go. Let's hope this is not the case.

No it won't.
Tomkins is the reigning Man of Steel, a current international and at the height of his career. He's actually turned potential into reality. To compare the two knowing who Tomkins has turned out isn't a realistic comparision of the scenarios.
Baldwinson has potential, but that's all.

Inept would be finishing in the bottom half of the table (considering our resources)
Inept would be getting into such financial strife that we have to sell our stadium or go into receivership.
Inept would be that we make such poor personnel decisions that we look more like relegation material (in the olden days) than we look like champions.

Those have all happened to our rivals. That's inept. Seeing a junior player choosing to go elsewhere is not inept.

The arrogance of Leeds fans that assume every player that leaves Leeds is because Leeds wanted them to go, and every player at every other club wants to sign for Leeds if only we would stump up the cash to buy them.

If Baldwinson opts to go to the NRL, maybe it's because he sees that as a the most positive step forward for his career no matter how much cash Leeds are prepared to throw at him? I don't know the figures involved, you don't either. Maybe Leeds have made him a reasonable offer for a lad with so little first team rugby under his belt?

If Leeds couldn't sign Lunt, maybe it's because his current club (the one he had three years left on his contract at) wanted a ridiculous sum of money for the player they perceived as being their first choice hooker going forward?

Maybe they agreed a fee with the Giants, but Lunt took Paul Anderson at his word that he wanted him back and would be his first choice? Again, I don't know and I suspect you don't either.

None of this hints at "inept" management.

It's no wonder Leeds as a club and its fans get a reputation for arrogance that makes them so disliked.

Maybe the non members of the clique look and think id be better off elsewhere?

Hardly a promoter of youth this Coach unless his hand is forced, likewise Lunt some games sat motionless on the bench, I know the Lunts decision was fairly easy for him to return to pay for Anderson.

The decision for Lunt to see his contract out out Huddersfield had very little to do with Lunt himself, but don't let the facts get in the way of your McDermott bashing.
