| Quote: KaeruJim "I'm not trying to be controversial, but it will take more than using the words "winning" and "identity" for me to buy into Blease. Wanting to win, and being able to win, are entirely different things. It's not like the current staff we have are trying to lose.
Salford have managed to punch well above their weight, IB clearly was a big part of that. We desperately needed a fresh perspective and we have that now. We also needed some effective reach into NRL. What I'm looking for is better judgement on individual players, and getting the overall mix right.
Blease needs to decide on props/back rower combinations that will give us a better platform, on the 7 shirt, and obviously on whether RS is the right man or not. Said it before but although I'm not totally given up on this season (85% given up) - I don't think there are any excuses for Leeds not challening for all trophies in 2025. The thing Blease and others need to get right is
I have a slightly different take, Jim. Whilst acknowledging the importance of recruitment from the NRL (Blease has an excellent track record) I think the biggest challenge is getting the coach, be it Smith or A.N Other, to get the best out of the home-grown talent. The likes of Smith, Oledzki, Holroyd and Newman have now seen a few coaches come and go. How many of them can look themselves in the mirror and say they have progressed in line with expectations? To be as good (or better) than the big boys, this has to change. We can't expect every overseas signing to miraculously change things. Wigan signed Cade Cust and when he wasn't performing they gave Harry Smith his chance and never looked back. We signed Frawley, who has been poor to average, but the coaching staff and quite a few posters on here don't think young Sinny is up to it yet. We have to change that or be reduced to playing perennial catch-up.

I like the pod. Win, lose or draw, it's always a good listen. I didn't mind the 'forthright' nature of the last podcast. Part of the attraction of fan media is that it's often unfiltered, but I appreciate that if you want to attract sponsorships, then you have to keep it PG.
Although, I would suggest maybe changing the name so it references Leeds rhinos or rugby league. That may help with the algorithm

We are hoping to do more with the club but obviously it's been a bit of a weird time for the club in general.
People need to realise that people at the club, staff, players and coaches are human beings and things affect them just as it does us.'"
I know you get it Chris you're a good chap. |

Hello!
We've asked for more access to the players and staff for our content. Which we hope comes to fruition soon enough. Like Chris said - the club have had a lot on this year - and a podcast asking for some access to players is absolutely one of the items at the very bottom of their list!
As for the recent podcast - absolutely 100% on me as much as Mark - I should have stepped in and asked for the personal abuse to stop. Some enjoyed the unfiltered podcast, some didn't, we removed it anyway and we will learn from it, grow, and promise it won't happen again.
We've all had a pretty emotional time of it recently. And recording on the day of the game, only hours afterwards, was not a good idea.
What I will say is, we love doing what we do, we love having different opinions on our platform. And we are constantly thinking of new ways to improve and make our platform look and sound better.
We've listened to all feedback, good and bad, and have taken it on board.
This recent podcast was an abnormality. Anyone that has listened to us before would recognise that.
Eddy

It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.:1157.jpg |

Keep up the good work Eddy, the Lot pod is a good listen, especially when cutting the grass or washing the car…
