A man who transformed the club single handedly - always had time for the fans who attend fan forums and would explain the performances and his decisions.

No way the players would get away with performances that we see week in week out - they simply wouldn't get selected. Look at Barrie Mac - relegated to Bramley. His standards were a world away from what we see these days.

The finest coach the club had in the SL era and superb human being - sadly missed

shows the coach is the most important man at the club. he sets the standards

I would agree with that - I think the spine is weak and needs attention. In the backs only Handley and Newman if they can ever get him fit would remain. It is time for a serious overhaul.

Watched the game last night as a neutral and was most amused to hear Leeds fans singing about being 'on our way to Old Trafford'.

Which Old Trafford is that as you've spend nearly all the season comfortably outside the play off spots, your not nearly good enough to get to the Grand Final and that joke football club Leeds Utd got relegated yet again last season so they won't be pitching up at Old Trafford anytime soon either.

Completely agree - look at Man City who sets the standards!!

if we are selecting games to make a point then cas x 2, wakey x2, HKR x2, hull, wire first up. how was our pack then?

We can go through the whole league and do that with every team though.

Short memory?

I love your totally blind faith christopher.

The judgement is and should be based on the last 20 games and on that they're not achieving their potential.

We're down in 8th after losing more than 50% of our games, that's what I'm interested in.

No way should we use a Quota place on Fusitua, totally unreliable and hit and miss when fit.


I understand we arnt privy to everything and we may have something big lined up recruitment wise (Doubtful) but optics are important, and currently, from top to bottom, we look shambolic, we do not act like a club desperate to be the best and havn't done for years.

Recruitment has been poor, we pick up the players left over after the ambitious clubs have finished. I admire the optimism, but the clever moneys on another sh*tshow, all this cap space We've been "building" towards and so far we'v got an undersized forward, who, while a solid enough player, does not move the needle in terms of us improving in any significant way. all these good British players who have switched clubs over the last couple of years, Nicholson to Warrington, Clarke to Saints, Dupree to Wigan, Johnston to Catalan , Wardle to Wigan etc, we just seem asleep or not interested...Not sure which is the bigger failure.

For a club who allegedly discuss recruitment and retention every day, we dont appear to have a clue on either front...Not unlike a moment in last nights game when on last tackle, while the 9's about to pass the ball, Austin can be seen asking someone else, probably Sezer, whats happening, as he didnt appear to have a clue either.

Like i say, outside looking in, it does not look like we are a club desperate to be the best, I just really hope they prove me wrong in the coming days, weeks, months etc

What i do know is that this season has been an abject failure, even by the now seemingly accepted standards of scraping into the playoffs and a decent cup run.

A very sad anniversary. Only two years at Leeds but possibly my favourite coach. That said, I think you are massively over estimating the potential of the current squad if you think any coach, past or present, has them winning the league.

the standard is awful. he would have this pack dominating. he would have organised, inspired and got them playing as a team. there would have been set plays.
everything that's not happening now

It’s not ‘blind faith’ its a pragmatic view of where we are but also not throwing the baby out with the bath water.

We are currently not good enough as a squad but I don’t think we are as far off as is being made out, and people wanting wholesale changes is just not realistic.
