It doesn't mean you're right it just means you always believe any story or version of events you hear from the Hardaker family.

You'd previously pointed out Bailey's bad behaviour as something Hardaker wasn't happy about when punished for what you claimed was just being out drinking during the World Cup, so no surprise that the story which doesn't add up about Bailey being told he was off came from their spokesperson.

Like I said, their's always two versions of events and clearly the Hardaker clan never told you the reason he was fined so much for the World Cup drinking incident is that he was out with a Yorkshire Carnegie player and threw a punch at him. That's why he was fined so much and why he 'chose' to leave the England squad (under club orders) and it wasn't England kicking him out because the fighting part was kept in house at Leeds.

I know from my friend who's in the squad and has been for some time that there were a few in the squad getting sick of Bailey and his attitude. Only told me after Bailey had left and didn't ask further questions. Don't know mcdermotts thoughts on him and have no idea the reason Bailey went. If I was guessing I wouldn't put fans pressure at the top of the list.

What's everyone's thoughts regarding Mossop at the time I wasn't too bothered that we didn't sign him, was hoping that as we didn't waste cap space on him we would be getting a top notch prop for next year.
Having granted only seen him play a few times I have been fairly impressed with him. And as I cannot see us getting a big signing prop next year, seems a missed opportunity

might be their knee jerking after the Saints loss, but the Wigan fans on their board seem to be saying he's basically been anonymous

Complete & utter waste of cap. I have never seen him do anything in defence or attack to justify his rep.

Cas at it again against the supposed team to beat.

Yeah. What a finish. Mccarthy -scarsbrook is not going to be popular this echoing in St Helens

Saints really shouldn't be losing to teams like Castleford.

Disgraceful.

Not good news for the DMC (Doom Mongers Club) we could go top again on Sunday

So many errors from both Cas and Saints.....I blame the coaches!

It certainly is a low quality league this year.

Funny you should say that. I went last night, and I agree on quality of the league, however there is absolutely no doubt that in Powell Cas have by far and away the best coach in Super League. The guy is quality, and proven wherever he goes. If only we had gone for him a few years back, we would have still had the GF wins, shown a proper future, and wouldn't have been taken backwards 17 years.

I for one would be very happy to see Powell back coaching Leeds sometime in the future.

Me too. would be nice to see him take over in the next couple of years and lead the new generation and put his own stamp on things. I have nothing against Mac at all and despite what a lot of other posters think i personally think he has done a very good job with a squad that for the most part was past its very best yet still has achieved honours in most of his years in charge. But he will have done 5 seasons after this, a long reign in this day and age, and Powell might just be the man needed to take the reigns soon.

I don't for one minute think Powell will come back to Leeds. I was just commenting that he is by far and away the best coach in Super League. Treated too badly to come back I reckon.
