| We need a coach and someone who is prepared to let half the team know they are no longer required. Simply we are in a dog fight now for survival in SL.
Moon and Parcell their heads are already back home in Aus, KS needs to stop picking them, JJB and Ablett both should be sent home both are passed it, we are so soft through the middle it's unbelievable and while I always would swap SL for Wembley, I now fear for our future in SL

| Don't disagree, I certainly don't see them all coming in at once, but this just underlines the size of recruitment task in front of us, and how many years it could take.
GH needs to say something to the fans about it or his credibility will start to come under question. It wouldn't be too much for him to say we should have recruited better than we have done over the last few years and we are working to rectify this.

| Expect another apologetic email from GH.
A lot of Smugness on this and another thread about Salford & Widnes yet both have strengthened and have top players back.
Leeds are definitely under estimating the other 7 in the Middles.
Hope they continue to do so.

| Hetherington HAS to announce signings soon.
Season tickets are on sale, and there will be a fair few will be deciding if to jack it in for next season - and who can blame them?

| Dire are not even that good. Yet won with ease.
I'd be getting a bit worried about relegation for the first time now.

icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |

| With the benefit of hindsight lack of recruitment for last year has played a major part in how bad we've been this year. The club bought into the excuse-athon for 2016, and last year we won a very weak SL which hid how poor we'd become. Part of the problem (and this is common when 'great' teams fall apart) is overrating the ability and roles of bit part players. Ablett, JJB, Delaney etc were never world beaters, and we've just kept them around too long.
The decline in quality is really stark if you watch the 2012, 2015 and 2017 GFs back to back (or just 2015 and 2017).

Longer than that. It’s not hindsight. Look at the comments now about difficult to change too many at once. Hence why it should have been done over a longer period, and whilst we were in a position of strength.

| I've been saying for a long time that 2017 recruitment was a huge contributor to where we are now. We had an awful 2016 and yet didn't add anyone except Ormondroyd to the squad. Had we brought in two new forwards then and started to move some of the older guys on, we'd be two players closer to being decent again. 2017 was great to win but again it set us back because it hid how ordinary most of our squad are/were becoming.
I'd quite happily settle for Leeds being competitive and enjoyable to watch for a couple of years without winning things necessarily until the junior production line cranks up.
