Sent back through time to rid the world of bovine related sports teams: |

| Quote: Gotcha "I was at the game matey, supporting. Shame so many on here who want to defend so staunchly, don’t manage to do the same. I am now about to catch a flight travelling that I delayed to this morning to enable me to go.
I thought it was a great occasion, to end such a poor league campaign across the game. I thought McGuire was simply awesome, along with the also written off Ablett and Briscoe. Oh and the kid who many said maaaaaaeeeeehhhhh at the thought of leaving, not bothered, looked an absolute star at the back. I also accept that the conditions played a big part in how the game went, took it away from the oppositions only game plan, and allowed us to grind it out the way only champions manage on the occasions.'"
Whilst I accept and applaud your support, sometimes the negativity and lack of support for players is infuriating. You've written the team and individuals off with gay abandon consistently for ten years. D your neck in now? |

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |

I think you need to put things into context - this is the biggest club in SL with the biggest revenue streams and as such expectations of what the club delivers should be based on that position not what they do compared to Wakefield/Salford/Cas etc.
The fact it has won so many trophies shouldn't come as any shock it is in position to deliver that only 3/4 other clubs have an equal opportunity to do so. It is no shock that only 4 teams have won the GF in the SL era - as one is no more - Bradford - it would suggest Leeds have a 33% chance of winning it every year. Whilst the salary cap may restrict spending on players it does stop spending of training/medical/conditioning, coaching, analytics, youth development etc. Leeds should be there or there abouts every single year. |

And yet you tipped Leeds to finish 7th this year. Go figure.  |

And Leeds have been there or there abouts every year barring one for god knows how long now, but yet again you'd think they weren't the way some carry on.
Oh and that one year we weren't in the mix in 2016 it was because we lost our training facilities, one of the things you just mentioned above as giving us an advantage but yet at the time you continually dismissed the importance of it. |

Re the GF, like many I predicted Wire but what a joke they were so the less said the better. Last night surpassed even my own expectations although I did predict a top 4 finish for Leeds after the 8s meaning at the very least a semi-final place. What I didn't do was totally write them off and then completely contradict myself with a dumb a$$ statement like "Leeds should be there or there abouts every year". I didn't do that because that would be embarrassing and no one would fall for it.
Re 2016. Sad to see you reverting to type and making stuff up once again Sal. I said we'd be lucky to finish in the top 4 in 2016, whilst you predicted they'd win the GF..... Never ceases to amaze me just how wrong you and your mates get it every single year on here, whilst preaching to the rest of us about how wrong we are.
No idea what the rest of your post is about though, just a load of contradictory twaddle, the type you always post when rattled and trying to dig yourself out of a massive hole.
Anyway I'm off to the pub, have a wonderful day Sal.
