We have gone back in time. Leeds are never any good under Tory governments.

Peter Smith's article in the YEP also says GH has been scouting in the NRL for Senior's replacement but Martin is also on GH's radar screen. Maybe it's a ploy that if we sign someone from the NRL anybody would be an improvement on Martin!

If what Peter Smith says is true, and putting the silly Martin rumour to one side, this would once again highlight that GH has not been performing his role properly at the club at all.

We should have had the replacement for Senior identified and lined up long long long ago. Not just be looking now. It's not like it's been forced on us and just suddenly happend.

FFS! He was never any good in his "prime". How he got a gig with the NZ Warriors for a few years was always beyond me. I'm not sure he even reaches average.

Keith says some interesting things in that YEP piece:

"They have got players playing in the centre who don’t want to be there,” he said. “They’ve got Carl Ablett playing in the centre, but he doesn’t want to.

“Brett Delaney (who has been in the back-row for the last two games) has been playing in the centre, but he wants to play second-row.

“It looks like Ben Jones-Bishop might play a bit in the centre – doesn’t want to play centre; Lee Smith – doesn’t want to play centre.

“They have got a lot of backs at the club, who don’t want to play centre – then you’ve got Kallum Watkins, above, who is a centre, but has been playing on the wing.

“I think it is a case of they are going to have to play him there, though I don’t know whether it will be in the left or right.

“I think Jones-Bishop might be playing a bit of left-centre, so it looks like Kallum could be playing on the right. Hopefully he will get a good amount of games together and get some confidence in him.”

Well Kallums almost back and I'd rather see him and BJB as centres than get Martin in. Mistakes would be made but we would have a very quick and skilful set of outside backs at least. With Hall and Hardaker outside them I could see plenty of tries being scored.

How hillarious, Senior questioning someone on defensive positioning.

Maybe we could temp Paul Bell back for a gig? On a brighter note at least we didn't get Shenton when rumoured last year.

The recruitment and player position policy farce continues.
