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



Quote: Richie "Well, it's that or the fans
Smith got plenty of leeway in 2005 when he basically blew the lot - he even got pretty lightly with 2006 the worst season in the Rhinos SL history which include the CC semi against Huddersfield so not sure you are correct and there are many on here who see critisising Smith as akin to treason.

Quote: tad rhino "i wouldn't agree with that assessment david. robinson better than burrow?
no chance.

what i will say is if there was one season we needed a large squad it's this one,what with the quick turnaround after the world cup.players will need plenty of rest this season.
we have the smallest squad we have had in a while with NO spare players in the forwards.
all this while still well under the cap.
will the sleeve not let him spend it?
does the coach not want to spend it?
when did we last spend the full cap.'"


Perhaps Hetherington is realistic about income and as any business you need to show a profit - if he can win the GF without spending the full cap good for him.

On Robinson I think he has more facets to his game than Burrow who is a bit of one trick pony who has been found out - 2008 wasn't his greatest year - his game hasn't moved on in two years one of the problem on Friday was the number of times he kicked the ball straight to a huddersfield player on the full

and what if he can't David? Will we have been short changed as the supporters are still paying full price to watch less than full price performances....

That is the chance all businesses take - how far can they cut costs before their service is compromised - I suspect GH is right their now. If they upset their customers will they come back especially the corporates who basically have numerous alternatives in a very competitive market

I suspect we will see some announcements of signings for next year in the near future not sure he will able to do much for this year

leeds have won the Gf for the last two years and with the prize money,spondership,big average crowds and corporate hospitality which comes with it i find it criminal that we don't spend the full cap when we obviously need it.

Expect announcements around about the time season tickets are up for renewal.

Graham GH would have spent the money on both Soliola and Eastwood sadly neither materialised what is criminal is that he had no fall back position

I suspect it will not take that long - corporate stuff is usually tied up well before season tickets go on sale and they will some encouragement if things continue this season as they have

So would Soliola and Eastwood be enough for next season in your opinion?...

It would certainly improve the squad especially if we lose Smith.
What do you say Richie?

Minimum of one possibly two - Kylie has to go at the end of this year surely and questions still remain as to Bailey's consistency and Burgesses' suitability

If any of our current props leave, we will need two as we are currently one light. IIRC correctly, Bluey said before the season started that we would be changing the way we play this year, going for more speed (which presumably means less bulk). This has clearly had a negative effect on KL IMO.

We need to manage our recruitment carefully over the next few seasons or we will end up needing to change half a team in three or four years time.

I'd give Kylie another year,he may not make loads of yards but he more than makes up for it with hard defence.
Burgess is still a young lad for a prop who I feel can only improve, so I would offer him a new deal.
Bailey definitely he upsets the opposition and can play play for long spells.
