Aren't you due some new material? You're like the Roy Chubby Brown of RLFANS.

Disgusting that, performing when it matters the most.

Quote: El Diablo "
I wasn't aware the ethos at Leeds had changed significantly over the past few years to warrant any new material on the topic. They still toss it off during the regular season and treat their supporter base to plenty of ordinary, below-par and downright lousy performances throughout the regular season. They only turn up to perform in the games which really count - apart from CC Finals which are a proven inconvenience in Leeds timing to peak at the right time.

Perhaps you could enlighten me on any recent modifications in the Leeds ethos which may have occurred?

Quote: The Eclipse "I thought he was awful in the semi v wigan and his mistakes nearly cost Leeds the game.'"

I thought he was a colossus in the semi against Wigan. Sure, there were many handling errors attributed to him but most were poor judgment calls from the ref on ball steals IMO.

The rest of his game, tackling, work rate, leg drive etc was superb.

I'm guessing you'll be first in the queue to congratulate them when it does icon_smile.gif

I completely agree and - more importantly - so did BMcD. If my lip-reading is correct, at full-time he said to Delaney that he "should've been standing there" - pointing to the spot where the MOTM presentation was taking place...

He's been our best forward ever since his move from the centres.

very solid runner, very depandable in defence - only thing i've noticed is at times lazy at first marker, but that's nit-picking

Actually you'd have to go far to find someone who worked as hard as Delaney througout the year for any club but that would be hard for you to spot when your sitting at home on a Friday night playing Scrabble with yourself. Whilst he may not be the most skillful Second Rower ever the guy constantly ran his blood to water and was my player of the year for Leeds.

If nothing's changed, then an insistence on commenting on it leads to just typing the same thing over and over again. Surely even you must be getting a bit bored of repeating yourself by now?

Extol the virtues of your team and players by all means - they are SL champions AGAIN after all - but there's always a need to temper that approach with the reality of the situation. There are no players at Leeds who constantly run their blood to water throughout the year as the overwhelming evidence of the teams indifferent ethos and approach towards regular season fixtures testify. Finishing 5th is no fluke.

Obviously. After all, it's much easier to win a Grand Final from there than from 4th as you repeatedly try to convince us.

That the club has been so successful in securing this coveted 5th place two seasons running says a lot about the commitment and desire to achieve their goals possessed by this group of players.

Your failure to seize the opportunity to enlighten me with new insight on any changes in ethos at the club - particularly with regard to their approach during the regular season - is noted.
