| Quote: mps "Don't give a fu*k about fantasy, Can't be hard to attract better than ablett, kirke, burgess + centre. This is Leeds we are talking about, super league champions, steeped in history, biggest crowds in english rugby etc.'" This is Leeds were talking about. Champions just 4 times in over 100 years of existence before 2004.
Yet the squad that has delivered 3 championships in 5 years isn't good enough for the likes of you.

To be honest i am talking of attracting players mate, not what they have won or lost, don't care for the super league era and its lack of natural talent. can't be a WORST supporter, i don't go, but i do belive the hoards that do deserve better. |

| Quote: BrisbaneRhino "I assume you do know there's a salary cap? FWIW I'd suggest that Ablett, Kirke and Burgess are pretty sound squad players of the sort that most clubs would die for. Ablett and Kirke have two GF winners' medals IIRC.
I was being a bit mischevious suggesting Mason, but TBH when I look at the Leeds squad and team it's the pack and the poor form of our playmakers that looks to be more of a problem than one centre.'"
The one Leeds are signifantley under? while ablett, kirke etc. are established first teams rather than squad members. |

I do go and if its' all the same with you i am quite happy with the players that you deride as not being good enough.
We never struggled to attract players in the pre Super league era. We never won owt either. |

If you don't go, then how do you know these players aren't up to it? Because you don't see their names on the try scorers list on Ceefax? |

It does not mean that those individuals in the team from that era, however talented, should be held in higher esteem than the current crop who only play in and against teams from their own era. The current crop are our most successful crop of players ever. Full stop. More successful than Lewis Jones, Arthur Clues, Eric Harris, John Atkinson, John Holmes, Syd Hynes, David Ward. All legendary names in our history and all failed to achieve what this crop of players have done.
It really irritates me how little that seems to be appreciated by our own fans.

Correct, but would you not love to see one of the above out there tonight? its down to coaching methods, now the skill factor is secondery to the best way to tackle and kick. |
