It's Official - "Homer Simpson is a Leeds Fan":d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_41073.jpg



Jordan said this in the YP - “I’ve been really enjoying my time at Bradford,” “It has been a good experience, all the boys are really good and Geoff Toovey is a really good coach who has been helping me out, Leigh Beattie as well.” - Nothing said about McD - so read into that what you will.

Outs - JJB, Delaney, McGuire, Burrow, Galloway.

I would at least try and entice Myler, Widdop to the club. If the Burgesses are returning to England next season as suggested I would try and sign every one of them.

I don't see our next win coming any time soon so will interesting and testing times for GH.

Quote: Homer Simpson "At least he is one that has the potential to develop into a long-term prospect'"

I think we will have to disagree on that, to me he is a rugby league journeyman he will have a long career in mainly middle to bottom super league clubs. Or top championship side. Oh hell wait a minute middle to bottom super league clubs that's us.

I think it depends who he plays next to. the kids a good organiser, kicker and directs the team well for someone so young.
play him next to a quality running half and I think he'll be fine.

either way he's the best natural half at the club right now

Hetherington surelyhas to be sniffing around Widdop. He's exactly the type of player that should have replaced Sinfield. Get the mothballed cheque book out Garry and get a watertight contract sorted now.

The email from Big Gary is a joke, doesn't tell us anything, let's hope behind the scenes a new coach is been lined up for replacement in the near future.

It's a shame for great players (and local lads) like Mags, JJB, Burrow to go out like this, but they and Mac (plus Delaney) must be gone at the end of the year to ensure the club moves forward in 2018.

Golding - Keep (hopefully he'll improve under better coaching)
Briscoe - Keep (he's looked crap, but so has 90% of the team, think a
new coach will bring his form back, he's got years left)
Watkins - Keep (Id like to believe he'd get back to his best, who knows
Moon - Def Keep
Hall - Keep, needs to be some old guard left, plus can still do a job
Mags - Has to go
Burrow - Has to go
Ward - Future Captain, key component of future
Ferres - Keep, like his tenacity, plus still got it
Ablett - same as hall
Garbutt - Keep
Parcell - Keep
Galloway - Keep Gets some stick, but towards end of last year was
starting to play well, think he def strengthens the middle

Lilley - Keep, young, good head on his shoulders, got thrown in deep
Last year, if Mac doesn't get chop, would rather him stay at
Bradford, and learn under Toovey
Keinhorst - Great attitude, utility player, when all is lost, still puts effort
In
JJB - has to retire
Delaney - has to go
Singleton - Keep, rotation forward
Cuthbertson - keep in hope he regains 2015 form
Baldwinson - keep, hope macs coaching is what's holding him back
Ormondroyd - keep, new player, but what else we got
Aston - don't know anything about, sounds poor, if so get rid

That leaves me with Mullally and Walters, who at moment I'm lost with, head says get rid as they've shown me nothing, could it be down to coaching, the fact they've not stood out in a declining team makes me worry.

Then there's Sutty, ????????????? I'd keep, but couldn't tell you what position or role.

Posters on here, know a lot more about the youngsters, so I've not passed comment.

Thoughts guys (and ladies)

Regards Rosco (Mac supporter in 2016, but simply had enough)

When Walters broke into the first team, having come from Union and done a short time in the academy he looked twice the player he is now.

The coaching and conditioning he has had since becoming a first teamer have ruined him. His physique looks all wrong.

I see what you mean but he has been awful generally THAT try and mini stint in the GF 2015 aside for over 2 years now.some of his defensive efforts are amateur standard and he is so messy in the collision and PTB area. Just not good enough, but to be fair he is far from the only one.

Maybe if players like Walters and co havent developed as they maybe should it could possibly be down to the player themselves as much as the coaching staff.

Having said that i never really saw much potential in Walters anyway.

Quote: Ex-Swarcliffe Rhino "If only we had, y'know a reserve league that we could put first teamers and up & comers into to hopefully sharpen up when not picked for 1st team and/or dual reg.'"



I completely agree with you on this, it is my biggest annoyance with the club that they refuse to see the advantages of a reserve team as opposed to DR or Loan...A reserve squad would be better for first teasers returning from injury..as you are still playing for the Rhinos jersey, playing for a Championship side does not do much for morale, must be quite deflating...or for those players who are on the fringe. A reserve squad should be seen as a positive not just as a means of sharpening a player's skills but for providing healthy competition and raising the standard of the señor squad. The threat of ..if they do not perform they go to the reserve should keep them on their toes..if they still do not cut it then they out. The problem with DR is that you can only send out so many players..this leaves many others not playing...for all his faults even Mac recognised this and that a solution needs to be found. We are losing too many youngsters. I wrote to GH on this , he claimed that it was too expensive. I only hope that the RFL will make it compulsory soon as more SL teams have a reserve squad. Meantime I post on this topic on FB at every given opportunity.

For me there are very few players are a definite to stay, most need to be looked at as to whether they're not good enough, or whether they are not being utilised correctly. The likes of Hall and Watkins are not performing well, but in the right system will do wonders. We are unlikely to replace half the squad, so I'd say top four to change would be
Mcguire
Delaney
JJB
Walters

3 at the end of their useful life, one just not very good.
