If you think the current Cup holders and a team that was targeting a top 2 finish and Grand Final appearance, ending the season without a win in 4-5 months and 1 spot above the qualifiers isn't "calamitous" for that club, then you're a bigger idiot than I ever gave you credit for. And believe me, I thought you were a prize whooper before today.
Enjoy your fog plaiting Sal, i'll try and drop by again soon.

You know exactly what I am trying to achieve - the fact that you seem unwilling to type Hull are in the top 8 and Leeds are not says much about you when you back is against the wall "There both in SL until one isn't"
Not sure how being champions and not in the top 8 is not bad as not getting to a GF but still being in the top 8 - I know which one I would consider to be more calamitous - sadly you are the only person who seems incapable of fathoming that out. It is pretty obvious who is the idiot here

Quite. You had better ask GH as he was in charge of recruitment and the purse strings. I have no idea what conversations they had an neither have you.

You are splitting hairs. The question was not about who finished higher between Leeds and Hull, but it was about how injuries have seriously effected the performance of both sides this season.
It is not just the problem of playing without half your first team for half the season but you choose to ignore the obvious knock on effect on those first teamers that has to take on the role of the bigger men week in and week out and the effect on the less experienced and younger reserves.
The new coaching set up are finding out that most of the squad that are now fit are physically and mentally tired and therefore the change of coach has not brought about any improvement despite claiming to have made giant strides

And only an idiot would blame the coach for events outside his control. The lack of any improvement since the new coaches took over, despite having the benefit of new short term signings and players returning from injury, should have given you a clue

But had the coach not destroyed the youth set up during his tenure, he might well have had answers to his problems. Hetherington is not blameless, in the fact this went over his head, but McDermott clearly ruined the ongoing developments of players and the youth set up. Something seen by quite a few at the start, who stated at the time what would happen.

| Good to hear that Leeds have been focussing on fitness over the long break, according to Walters in the YEP. But how on earth did the club end up in a position where a full time professional squad aren't fit enough to compete?
Genuine question, how much can be achieved fitness-wise in a couple of weeks? Its been a long time since I was even close to fit, but I would have thought if you were already close, you could get quite a lot done in 2 weeks?

| It also allows them time to get over niggly injuries that might have been hampering their physical output
