Quote: KaeruJim "I could coach Penrith to spank most super league clubs.

Equally a great coach gets a team realising its potential.

Leeds need both better players and a first rate coach. Too often we have signed other club’s cast-offs or mid-table players. Most of the players who’ve left Leeds have ended up either in Champ or lower table SL clubs - so many examples of this.

Players who are bench players at other top clubs become starters for us.

Again it’s not rocket science. We need almost first grade NRL quality at prop and second row IMO to continue our progression, and possibly on the wing too. Not sure where we are at with Marquees, assume Newman is one and Croft.

A real good prop will take loads of pressure off Mik and Tom in particular. A marquee second row is good value because they are likely to play 80 mins. We have four/five back rowers who are just too small whereas we need just one big ugly horrible thing.'"

I don't know if its already been mentioned, but as far as i know Wayne Bennett is available next season if Gary wants to open his wallet

I still think we'll finish at least 6th, we'll struggle against the likes of Wigan, Saints and Warrington, but outside of them, we can hold our own against the rest.

Really? We finished 8th last season. Finishing in the playoffs would be a good level of improvement

I actually agree sixth ish isn’t god enough, but it might be all we can realistically hope for this year we’ll find out.

Anything below that, as I’ve said if it isn’t down to a biblical injury list, RS should go.

If he can steer is into top half this year; and the club / GH will back another handful of ambitious signings, we might just go into next year with a spring.

In good news, most of the squad is still young enough to improve and benefit from pre-seasons; I feel like we have a natural improvement in us now. We just lack stars frankly.

I don’t agree with constantly calling for new managers and new players BUT i think Mr Smith has been given long enough. Strangely enough his first season with a team that was not his got the best results. Two years of change and we are not progressing so I think the finger has to be pointed at RS.
The squad is not the best but it is far from the worst, what it needs is a Paul Rowley to galvanise get it and get the best out of what we have. He seems to be able to pick up the pieces year after year working with scraps. I am sure he could turn this squad into a top 5 or 6 team and given a close season to pick up at least one big hitter in the pack, bin and replace an injury prone winger and get a half back with the ability to dictate a game. He could turn us into something much better. We can but hope!!

Reading the clubs website match review you would think we only lost by a few points here in lies the problem there's no accountability or honesty and quite frankly disrespectful to the fans who witnessed something completely different.

It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.:1157.jpg

If it’s stars we are missing, then we will have trouble accommodating them given the wages we are paying to a few key members of the squad. We’re already using the Marquee positions, so unless we can pay these new stars less and therefore not burst the cap, we’re not getting them in any time soon.

His form in England after his first season at the Midgets is way below Croft

Bats who is marquee? Newman Croft and….?

Our aim has to be to build a better squad than Wigan Saints Wire or Cats, simply put. They seem to manage these signings…

I understand that our Marquee players are Croft and Newman, you’re only allowed two according to the RFL website. I think it’s next year when the rules change?

There we go then that’s one extra. We need to use it. Maybe with AMT backing we can.
