You come at the king - You better not miss. It ain't what you takin', it's who you takin' from, ya feel me? How you expect to run with the wolves come night when you spend all day sparring with the puppies?:41106.jpg



Quote: G1 "But the Internet message board expert doesn't have to deal with such harsh realities.

All the Saints fans posting on here consider they have a weaker overall squad than us.

I am afraid Sunday had little to do with squad strength, lack of another prop or a right centre. In fact, chalking Sunday up to that is displaying the kind of arrogance Saints fans do when chalking off our GF wins to their bad performances.

Saints 17 played hungrier, harder and better than ours. They were also better coached on the day. Sadly this occurred in a cup game so we're out. There's time to remedy it before the GF and its' capable of being remedied without signings. If we make the right quality signing in the mean time then great. If we don't no need to slit the wrists or lambaste the board.'"


Sums it up very well for me.

Quote: tvoc "Further ahead of last years rivals - Yes

Further ahead of this years rivals - ?

No matter how good or how poor a coach, his job will be made easier when given a fully equipped (as defined by the regulations) squad to work with. The current three quarter line (in their selected positions), Senior apart, offers no threat going forward. The current pack are playing one man, unsupported, ball dying drives. The quality on show is pretty poor and that includes when they win.

Coaching is a concern but it isn't the only one.'"


Yep agree 100% with that. My dad who's watched Leeds for over 65 years was saying it's one of the weakest back lines he's seen for a while at Leeds. It won't stay that weak for long though.. (players getting better ie Hall, Watkins etc)

I'm only 29 and I'd be very confident I would go back a lot less than 65 years to find a weaker one. 1996 should do it.

I was trying to remember that myself. I'm sure Francis Cummins was in there somewhere, then I get a bit stuck.

In 1996 Leeds used a total of 40 different players over the 26 game season (inc the CC run to the semi finals.) So establishing a representative three-quarter line might be more difficult than you think.

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj] Kevin Sinfield:982.jpg

Not quite as there still needs to be a minimum quality threshold to exceed.

I wonder how many of those would make the first 13 today of the current Leeds side?

Iro, Innes, Schofield, Morley, Newton, Cummins, McDermott, Fozzard??
