| [sizeLeeds Rhinos First Team Squad[/size
Full Back
Ben Jones Bishop (20*), Brent Webb (28*)
Wing
Scott Donald (29*), Ryan Hall (21*)
Centre
Ashley Gibson (22*), Keith Senior (32*), Lee Smith (22*), Kallum Watkins (18*)
Stand Off
Danny McGuire (26*)
Scrum Half
Rob Burrow (26*)
Prop
Ryan Bailey (25*), Luke Burgess (22*), Kylie Leuluai (31*), Jamie Peacock (31*)
Hookers
Danny Buderus (31*), Matt Diskin (27*), Paul McShane (19*)
Back Row
Carl Ablett (23*), Danny Allan (19*), Jamie Jones-Buchanan (27*), Ian Kirke (27*), Ali Lauitiiti (29*), Kevin Sinfield (28*), Simon Worrall (24*)
So we have a First Team Squad which consists of 24 players at an average age of around 25 which on paper is a good blend, Now looking at that there is slight room for rotation in the Back Row my only concern would be keeping our Props fresh to an extent come September/October time, I suppose we could use the likes of Jamie Jones-Buchanan, Ian Kirke and Ali Lauitiiti in the Front Row if needed with the option of using Matt Diskin in the Back Row when Danny Buderus aquires full match fitness...
There is no doubting our first choice 17 should be capable of bringing back the trophy home come Old Trafford time but is our Strength in depth so bad compared with other sides in Super League or are we really reading too much into it?...

I too have the faith, Although i am of course not happy with how the team are performing at the minute i hope Brian McClennan can show us all that he indeed knew what he was doing and there was no need to panic, It's just a shame we never got Greg Eastwood i wonder how he is performing for the Canterbury Bulldogs all i know is he has 1 Try in 4 games...

No need to panic as according to Brian McClennan [i "It's not the worst performance we have had." [/i
Now I'm no coach but I'm struggling to think of a worst one from a spectating point of view.

Well i didn't attend the Salford game so i can't really comment but from the Reports of the media and friends it sounds like it was possibly the worst Leeds Rhinos performance under Brian McClennan...

| It would also be interesting to know who the fans would be interested in signing and what position the said players play...

| Bluey knows what he's doing, and sureley he will find, and fix the errors, but it would be nice to see a new Second Row or Centre in the mean time.

| We have lost one international centre in Clinton Toopi and one international back rower in Gareth Ellis. Neither have been replaced.

The season starts in October. Until then, don't panic!: |
|
| I know feck all about coaching a Rugby League team. I'll leave it to the team at Headingley to decide if we need additions to the squad. I'm pretty confident they'll do what's right. Coaches and CEO's rarely make knee jerk reactions or listen to fans. 3 titles in 5 years wasn't a result of taking polls in the South Stand.
As the greatest RL coach once said..
“If you start listening to the fans you’ll end up sitting with them!"

I was. And as far as I am concerned that was the laziest, poorest execution, that I have seen in his time. I would like to know which one he thought we did a worse performance.

Ouch...but the point is we managed (just) with a patched up set of threequarters and nearly a year later it's still not sorted
Point remains we have lost two internationals and not replaced either
