I can accept that he is willing to back Mac and allow the majority of the squad next year to right this seasons fiasco. However, what i can't excuse is that it can't be acknowledged we need minimum a half back to get the side back contending. Someone said that this is typical GH, and he doesn't reveal his hand regards transfer activity..i hope this is true in this case as if not, i really can't see things improving greatly. I would already say as we stand right now that Wigan, Cas, Saints, Warrington and Hull have better squads than us and there is every chance Catalans and Huddersfield will be back on form. Could be another tough slog.

Back to reality.
Leeds are $h1t and I'm Duane Dibley.

Have people even bothered to read the article? He doesn't even say we won't be making anymore signings, he says "we are prioritising the players we already have here". Does anyone actually believe "it's Zak'a preference to stay in SL"....hell no he just can't get a gig in the NRL.

From GH on 22nd Dec last year

"But Hetherington said Rhinos have no room for him in their squad. Leeds’ 25-man first-team group for next year was confirmed last month and Hetherington insisted: “We aren’t pursuing Brett Ferres.” The Leeds chief executive also reckons that Ferres could well struggle to find a new club at this stage of the pre-season programme. He added: “If he had been transfer-listed three months ago I think there would have been quite a keen competition to secure him, both here and overseas. But at this stage for any team to fit him into their squad will be difficult, unless they have created space. That is something we have done in the past, but not this year."

Then low and behold Ferres is at Headingley for the Boxing Day game and is announced on the 4th of January.

But GH knew Hudds. had little room to move in regards getting a transfer fee for Ferres and with most teams budget used he played the waiting game with this little bit of kidology. We were always interested in him just GH being shrewd/ tight.

what he says in todays column indicates we have done our business already and the focus will be on using academy graduates to fill the gaps.

But not quite an outrage.

Or perhaps no new north stand either side?

Tetley Field green space campaign by plenty!

Would you like more custard with your bread and butter pudding, Sir?

So how would it help if he came out and said we're looking for players, particularly a HB? Nothing to gain by making that public knowledge and on the chance he then fails to land one he looks bad.

They'll be a signing, it just won't happen until the Hardaker issue is resolved first.

Replace the Southstand with a grass hill and sell umbrellas.

What's to lose by saying Leeds are looking to strengthen the squad? Really, after that abomination of a season when you are looking to sell season tickets that effort is the best GH can come up with. If it's not true and we are looking to buy players then it's a PR disaster. Even if it is true, then it's still a PR disaster.

Last time I went on a freebie it was sticky toffee pudding, very nice it was too. The rugby was crap but I suppose you can't have everything.

Meh,hes palmed off more season tickets than normal this year due to panicking people into buying their season tickets to secure their place in the ground next year.
