I think you could make the arguement that the top 3 or 4 (so called big 4) have gone backwards, but IMO the standard of the competition has gone upwards. Teams like Cas, Hull KR, Huddersfield and Quins are all highly competitive and could beat anyone on their day. The salary cap has bitten for the bigger teams, who have to release some of their younder players as they progress, and therefore comand more money (Scruton etc) and this evens up the competition.
11 Different teams are represented in the England squad, and I think that this can only be a good thing for the competition.

I'll be interested to see how many teams are represented by the time the 4 nations comes around. Something tells me that it won't be that many.

So now you realise that Ryan Bailey is tottaly useless ?

He isn't completely useless. He's fantastic at winding up the opposition and sending them off course tactically. Apart from that I agree.

He's done pretty well in the last 2 grand finals.

I'm happy to have selected Ryan Bailey for 3 Grand Finals and Ian Kirke and Carl Ablett for one each.

However, you know better and they're 'Average at best' eh Bobbie?

You should be a coach - you evidently know better than those three muppets. I mean what have they ever achieved?

And this is our coach who made the Aussies look very very VERY silly a few years back


This guy won us the League last season on his first attempt in Super League, not many coaches can say that.

Face it, we got beat by a team who are very good at home, but lets not get in the way of your deluded fe[ic[/iktarded rant at Bluey

Why is it that if you express concern on this board it is immediately taken as critisism?
It isn't passion when we backchat to the ref it is sheer stupidity and Keith seems to be one of the worst culprits - one of our experienced players who should know better. Head high shots and around the play the ball area (and I know other teams do this but tbh I'm more concerned with Leeds discipline) we are currently giving away far too many penalties which is resulting in putting ourselves under extra pressure and, whether it is deemed to be critisism or not of Bluey, he should be sorting this out.

In a one off game.



and?

I agree have we been on the right side of a penalty count this season?

Evidence Please?

STFU up with that. Only a tw@ apes Lenny the Loiner.

A Saints fan came on here and had a go at one of our players knowing he is in no means of return so just defending him evidence is no problem if its 100 per cent true.
