You miss Ellis big time I think. You need someone solid like him to put in the big hits. Pity for you guys that Eastwood didn't come.

Nobody's saying that you haven't "replaced" Ellis and indeed Scruton in terms of players in those positions, but would anyone say that it's been like for like?

Also, what's happened to your organisation and discipline and flair? A lot of RL fans used to enjoy watching Leeds play, whether they'll admit it or not!

if you want an adult debate you need to reply instead of being childish.
go on,try it.

or don't you have an answer?

Well, I asked first.
You still owe me an answer on the "British Justice" thread too, BTW.

So, are you going to answer:

What role did those two players play in their time here?
Who played those roles this season?

Or can you at least tell me how many times I need to ask those questions before you will answer them. Will save me an awful lot of copying and pasting.

have we signed a prop/2nd row?
have we promoted a prop/2nd row from within

the answer i believe is no.

ergo, the pack is lighter than last year. that simple enough for your simple brain

Clearly they have been replaced otherwise we would be going into games with a 15 man squad. The real question is have the been replaced by equivalent or better players?

One disappointing aspect seems to be that Bluey isn't getting the players to fulfil their obvious potential. Now this could be deliberate, to "save themselves" for later in the season when it "matters more". If this is the case it's a risky strategy as supporters will cotton on and just stop going to "games that don't matter" during the regular season.

Come on Tad, play along. It's easy enough. Two simple questions, asked...how many times now? Why can't you answer them?

What role did those two players play in their time here?
Who played those roles this season?

they have not been replaced like for like as i have pointed out. the child fails to see this or chooses to play dumb.

Thankfully, someone who can see what's what.
Have the players been replaced by the same or better, or was that ever realistic? The players that remained, how have they progressed or regressed?
All players have an individual level of ability and potential. As a team they seem to be playing well below their ability, and having a couple of other players in the squad also playing below their ability clearly isn't the solution.
Anyway....watching Tad evade and get all grumpy is fun

Hey! Where did "like for like" come from?
Never knew the players had twin brothers of equal ability available to sign.

Why are you so unable or unwilling to answer those two simple questions?

This year the referees are allowing a more NRL style play the ball which means they are allowing it to be slowed down by the defending team. Leeds game is based on a quick play the ball and they arent as good at slowing the game down as other teams. Hence, teams are getting on top of us.

Why the RFL are allowing the game to be dominated by spoiling tactics I dont know.

i didn't evade. i pointed out we were light in the forwards.you obviously disagree. maths not your strong point?

Come on Tad, just answer, and we can move on. You know I'll keep asking until you do.

childish, very,very childish.

in the past our 'rested games' have mostly been won, or we have only slightly been off the pace. that isn't the case here, we have looked crap. struggled to create anything, playing one out rugby, and not even doing that well, how many times tonight did no one look interested in taking the ball up. the defence has been awful at times.

i know who i'd be looking at for all the whole team not playing well
