Tell your coach & chairman. Swap him for Brough or Robinson, no questions asked.

I was expecting this to be "provocative" drivel, but I was bored so I read it anyway. It;s actually not drivel though. I especially feel we need to steer away from 8. Although it was good to hear McGuire in the Premier Suite tonight saying he's only 2-3 weeks away, because a fit McGuire certainly wouldn't hurt, I don't think the addition of a couple of different players is going to make the difference. Making elementary errors has become endemic at the moment. The players making the mistakes are not bad players, but confidence is low and they look a shambles as a unit.

Huddersfield played a simple, direct, effective game, where the ball was shifted only once a platform was built. It isn't rocket science, it isn't anything new, but when you focus on things like execution and concentration it's bloody effective. And I think it's quite entertaining. RL isn't supposed to be like watching the Harlem Globe Trotters.

But it could be, you have just got to put yourself in a position to play that way, like getting the basics right, something we are not doing. I don't mind us playing an expansive game game but the basics have to be in place to do this, and at the moment they are not.

It's hard work masquerading as a former "provocative" poster and impossible to maintain.

Anyhow, the current situation is too serious to warrant anything other than reasoned debate.

You don't get to watch him every week

I can't believe it i actually agree with most of what Swiftcorn has posted!
I will add that though that however bad the CC final performance was this squad should be and is capable of playing much better imo.
I've said all pre-season andthus far that Brian Mc needs or at least deserves the full season and the opportuinity of signing his own players and having at least the full squad at his disposal.
Now i honestly don't think(like some have suggested) that the squad are playing for him and it's reminding me of the lance era and worse in terms of attitude and application.
As for ins and outs the coaches apart from Gibson because i think he's doing well with u20's.
Playing wise Senior ,kirke ,Ali ,Webb(leaving anyway) at the very least to depart and IF we can find decent younger replacements then Kylie and possibly Cross.
As for Burrow i agree he's been poor but i'd sign someone to compete with him for his place and hopefully see him play behind a dominant pack before ditching him.
I do believe there's potential within the acadamy but some quality recruitment from outside is also needed.

Swiftcorn's post is a thinly veiled jibe at GH, don't fall for it.

He's been unable to poke a stick at him for some years so now he feels safe enough to push his agenda. The Chief exec should not be judged by a run of results over 10 games in one season.

If you want to make a list like Swiftcorn has done you could try.

1. Rescued the club from Insolvency
2. Cleared the clubs debt
3. Invested massive resources into junior development with great success
4. Built the Carnegie Stand
5. Put in place the rebuilding of the Southstand.
6. Turned Headingley into a massively profitable organization with a turnover of more than 11 million. A turnover that isn't dependant on cup finals and on field success like, say the Bulls was.
7. Signed some of the most successful and longest serving overseas players in the clubs history
8. Presided over a prolonged period of stability on the clubs playing front with record club produced players enjoying testimonials.
9. Signed the players that have won the club more championships in the past 8 years than in the clubs previous 100+ years.
10. Signed the coaches that have coached those players to more championships in the past 8 years than in the clubs previous 100+ years.

Have there been mistakes along the way, yes. Have there been things that whilst not mistakes haven't worked out, yes.

However, the right man is at the helm and he's doing a fantastic job. Look around the league. Ignore, if you will, what is happening on the field at this time. These things are fleeting and cyclical. Which club is in better shape?

especially point 6

You could also add "Managed, improved and modernised the business assets instead of flogging them off to a supermarket to pay debts incurred by rash and ill advised business decisions resulting in the business actually owning very little in the way of any assets at all"

Hang on, a certain poster on here last night was demanding GH sack himself!

I believe most Rhinos fans can sleep happily in the comforting knowledge that despite the wayward direction the club is heading on the field of play, at least it's business interests, it's assets and it's profitability remain in extremely good nick.

What else could possibly excite a fan of their club and the game of rugby league more than that?

THE REAL SCORELINE
Leeds Rhinos 11,000,000 Huddersfield Giants 38

Maggie Thatcher arguably succeeded in elevating this country from being the 'sick man of Europe' into an economic powerhouse. Perhaps we should have made her PM for life in suitable gratitude.

But in your opinion the coach can be judged on this short period!

If you give credit to GH for the recruitment of the academy players that have formed the backbone of our recent successful side you have to also be critical of GH for a lack of succession planning that is one of our current problems.
