Quote: LeedsLurch "WE have had a miserable start to the season and 5 losses out of 6 was not what i expected when the fixture list came out. I will be patient and wait to see. Obviously the rebuild will take time and may even take 2-3 seasons before the club get themselves back to where they want to be. Dwelling on what has happened and pointing the finger in blame is futile and a waste of effort. We are where we are but i would like to see progress. We have seen glimmers of it at Saints and Salford but not much other evidence of it. Friday against London will be a good indicator on what has been worked on this week and hopefully some of the holes filled in. After London we have Catalan and Castleford, it doesn't get any easier does it!
What i have come on to say though is that i'm sick and tired of reading all the bashing of JJB & Ablett before they have even pulled a shirt on. Their experience is not to be underestimated, give them a chance to still prove their worth before rubbishing them. If they don't perform go ahead and criticise but they haven't caught a ball in anger yet! If they don't add value to the squand then i will admit it myself and say that it's a season too far but at least wait to see'"
Ablett's also 4 years younger than JJB at 33 so I'm not sure they can be put in the same category as past it.
