Just saying and repeating something doesn't make it true. You accuse myself and others of having "an agenda" just because we have different views to you and you are something of a hypocrite regarding your accusations. You have not been accused of having an agenda against both McDermott and Hetherington despite years of bad mouthing both at every opportunity. It is a year since BM was sacked yet you are still blaming him for current poor performances.

The club may well have been interested in Furner (or not) before Sinfield selected him, but in the end Sinfield and Hetherington have both admitted it was Kevin's choice which was then backed by GH. So no amount of bluster can mitigate his mistake.

Even if you can justify that Leeds needed a DOR in the first place, the position requires proven experience in business, man management and coaching. None of which Sinfield can claim to have. Playing experience is just not enough for such a senior role. If indeed we needed a Director of Rugby then it should have been advertised and a short list selected. Giving jobs to former players is high risk and in his year in post Sinfield has as bad a record as the coach he has just sacked who was in post for half the time. His recruitment and team selections show poor judgement and his clash with his chosen coach point to poor man management skills and he comes over as wooden and lacking the human touch in his interviews. I hope he can learn fast and can prove me wrong.

As a 20 year old half I'd say his critics would be seeing a more consistent player truer to his capability, if he was playing alongside a fit and in form Gale.

So what do you think will be seen when he is with Richardson?

Yep not a flat track bully, got plenty of time to develop, but potential does not always equate to real talent, one great game against a dire Hull side does not make him the world beater some are making out, see where he is at when he is 22-23.

We have a fair number of young players of a similar age and younger who will frustrate sometimes. There is some real good talent coming through across the game at the moment which is great to see - you look at players like Welsby at Saints and he has England FB written all over him already.

Isn’t this thread kinda dead now by the way...?

His CV dosnt just consist of one great game against Hull, he's had plenty of good games aswel as a few bad ones, theres a clear middle ground between flat track bully and world beater, at 20 yearold, Truemans at the higher end of that middle ground for me, certainly ahead of the curve of where you'd expect a 20 yearold half to be.

As you say, potential dosnt always equate to real talent, but thats nothing new, it applys to every young player. Hopefully Trueman goes on to fulfill his potential .
