We can’t expect anyone to replace Peacock, Singleton and A.N other however may be able to.

And as I said A.N other needs to be there next season, at the side of Peacock.

Depends who it is really. I wouldn’t be confident of going in to 2015 with Singleton and another young prop heading the line. If it is to be an experienced front-line prop ala Graham (obviously Im not saying it will be him) then I wouldn’t really think it necessary for us to have a season of them playing together. In fact trying to do so may make it harder for us to replace JP as it would mean fitting JP and his replacements wage under the SC rather than just JP’s then just his replacement.

Imo Kylie ,Moore and Kirke should be gone as soon as this year ends or in Kylies case he should be back up.
Yates coming in i'm prepared to give him time and a chance but i did with Amor and quite frankly the Club fecked that up big time.
Mcshane obviously isn't the Coach's choice for 9 so that needs sorting asap so we need at the very least 1 more Prop and a 9 unless Mc.D sticks with the Burrow/Sinfield rotation and Sutcliffe takes the 6 shirt with Mags at 7.
Next year i'd go with JP ,Singleton as 1st choice FR's Bailey/Kylie bench option with a New signing and hopefully Yates showing enough to get gametime as a Rotation option.
The other possibillity is switching Jjb/Delaney to FR now and sticking with it given how many BR's we have plus Foster and Minchella on the brink of breaking through.

Same old thread just under a different name.

JP is not finished today and it looks like he will be ok for next year.He has said he just wants to keep playing.End of 2014 should be enough for mere mortal's,but with JP who know's?

Remember back in 2011 when people said we'd be screwed in 2012,
Remember back in 2012 when people said we'd be screwed in 2013,
See how in 2013 people said we'll be screwed in 2014,
Look forward to 2014 when people say we'll be screwed in 2015.

You know I think some people on here spend too much time obsessing over how we'll replace certain players that I don't think they've stopped to enjoy the success that these players have brought the club.

This next month we are aiming for a hat-trick of titles. We achieved that feat back in only '09. Since then we've lost Ali, Senior, Webb, Donald, Diskin, Smith, Burgess, Buderus, Eastwood (as Ellis' delayed replacement) came and went and we replaced a former NZ coach who'd won 2 GF's with a "Muppet" who took Quins backwards.......yet since 2009 we won 2 of the last 3 GF, head into this series as arguably favourites, reached 3 CC finals, won 1 WCC and lost by a score to a great Melbourne team.

Maybe some should stop worrying and doom predicting over what things might be like in 2/3 years time and soak up the present. Otherwise if Leeds do find a good replacement prop for Peacock you'll just find yourself wondering who'll then replace him in 2021.

The same posters have been saying since 2006.

I think part of it is we've had such an unprecendented era of success that people are just waiting nervously for the inevitable fall.

You can't disagree with that - I have been saying this for sometime, most people accept it.

There is no need for an inevitable fall. That can only happen by poor management. If you strengthen from a position of strength, then you continue. It's when you do it from weakness that you fall.

Would it be more efficient to just re-post the previous year's thread each year? Save somebody typing out a new one with only the number at the end of the year changed.

We've been doomed since 2006.
