Entirely agree with all of this. I wonder if Danny has had any thoughts he should have maybe bowed out on a high with the likes of Sinfield and Peacock. As it is he and Rob could see their careers fizzle out slowly in an anti-climatic season of struggle: 2017 looks like it could be a repeat of this even with the lucky acquisition of Chicko. JJB you would think will retire with some dignity still intact at the end of this season.

All season I have seen the oft repeated lament that Leeds have not had a full squad to select from; hence their terrible performances. Even with a full squad, however, the team still looks far from convincing. The defence issues simply do not seem to have been addressed; similarly the attacking ideas in the final 20. The coach seems to have "got away with it" and continues to do so. With the additional lack of any prospect of a worthwhile new signing I don't think I will be missing anything next season. Zzzzz.

Mcguire has been one of leeds greatest players. It's a shame to see his career fizzling out like this, but these things happen. His body now appears to be faultering, I'm sure thoughts of retirement have entered his head but I reckon he'll do next season to try and finish in better circumstances and leave us in a better position then call it a day.

It's a strange, for so long we've had that rock solid foundation and now all you can see on the horizon is loss. Mcguire burrow and JJb will be lost shortly to add to sinfield peacock and leuluai.

Like as been said earlier Danny has had some really bad injuries at crucial times for him and the club ,but credit to him he came back .He will be 34 when next season starts he has a decision to make

He has come back from injury many times and has been one of our best ever players over the years.
If he wants to finish out his contract next year then we should let him, same with Burrow and JJB.

We should buy an organising and kicking half to play along side him, and hopefully with a decent preseason and a change to some of the coaching staff, he will one again prove his doubters wrong, as he did when people on here wrote him off in 2011 and 2014

You do realise we are a salary capped sport? I am assuming not, judging by your second sentence. If wrong then I am very sure you don't pay money to go.

He has a year on his current deal i believe and deserves the chance to exit on his own terms at the end of that imo. he should step down as skipper though and focus on getting himself right for one last shot in 2017.

Achurch was on a lot and so is hardaker, loan hardaker out another year and bin Achurch, that frees up AT LEAST the 175,000 cap space required to make a marque signing, so we can effectively spend what we want on a new player

Also if we just paid out the last year on McGuire and Burrows contracts, it would count on our cap anyway. Are you saying we are better off with nothing?

Do you understand the salary cap mate?

but if he retires, and I think he should,and the club sort out a role for him then it's win win all round.
sadly I think time has caught up with him

Why do we need to buy an organising half back at all when we already have one in Lilley?

Leeds were playing in the lower league yesterday, Lilley still looked slow and missed as many tackles as he made (IMO - whether Opta agree or not) I still don't see what some fans are seeing in him.

I think Lilley can be developed into an organising half good enough for SL, I don't think turning the role over to him next year will immediately solve our problems.

In terms of his defence he has a habit of shooting the line, which could just be over enthusiasm. In terms of one on one tackling he's no worse than most halves in SL and a good deal better than some.
