| Quote: mattsrhinos1978 "Really pleased with OConnor and Gannon, read an interview with Terry OConnor where he mentioned Agar had discussed Jarrod at hooker, said he'd played a lot of halfback at community level so his passing game is there. Gannon just looks like a young Moz, superb talent. '"
I said the exact same thing about Gannon last night actually. If he turns out like Mozza we will be doing ok. He just reminded me of him around same age last night.
Ive not seen a Leeds forward take to SL at such a young age since Moz. Not even the golden generation looked so at ease. Need to be careful with him at his age though.

| It was weird that you were commenting about listening on the radio when it was live on Youtube free to air. Which the club had done a decent job of promoting.
As for suggesting that Rugby League is too complicated, I don't think anyone has ever said that about the sport (although it's more complex than some would like to paint).
I'd hate to see what you think of other sports.

| Quote: Jack Burton "I'm not sure I agree with a zero tolerance approach to high shots being brought into SL like they have in the NRL, but if it helps reduce the amount of stoppages for head knocks, and reduces the amount of wrestling at the play the ball, then it's definitely worth a try. That game was so scrappy.
Gannon and O'connor did really well, and apart from a dumb penalty, I thought Prior was outstanding. The jury is out on Walters for me, his work rate isn't particularly, and he look incredibly slow, even for a back rower, but he's young so we shouldn't expect too much at this stage.
The defence looks solid and hopefully once we get some of our attacking players back we'll have more potency in attack.'" No problem with Walters work rate.Several times this season he has done 80 minutes.

| The most important thing is effort and commitment.As long as we have that the performances will come as soon as we are regularly able to put out something that resembles our best team.

"People who know about RL" He's an average to ok at best winger & should be nowhere near a Squad striving for GF's.
Tom has been a great servent but is 2yrs at least way past his best.
Mellor has been ok last year but pretty ordinary this year as has Martin.
That's 4 starting spots already thst need better quality before we even look at the quality 6 we desperately need ,through in journeymen like Bodene Thompson its clear this Squad is way off where it needs & aspires to be.

| So what you’re saying Marty is you’re equally ‘criticising’ the team as many others you’re saying are a joke for being critical. Yes my comment of briscoe is over the top and I apologise for that though again the frustration is that he’s one of many players who are now simply not the standard required and there’s too many in the squad (recognised starting players)and as you allude to yourself they’re getting contract extensions at the wrong time.
I was making a point re 9s as I agree, though my criticisms of basic skill errors extend to others ie regardless of Sutcliffe being out of position (though once a half) some of his contributions are very poor. Let’s not forget too how down on troops wakey are too it’s not like the opposition were a great threat

It isn't though is it., loads of amateur and professional teams fall short every week.I thought our aggression was good and with a bit more confidence and a few players back and we'll be hard to beat.

Anyone who's ever played team sport knows this is really hard to achieve...!

I agree but it has been sadly lacking in Some Leeds teams of the past. Including when Agar took over.

Tom's won everything in the game and played international RL. He's a confidence player.
Yes he's probably never been the player he was at Hull for us, but he'll be one obe of the players the young lads look up to too. I've met him and he's a lovely bloke.
I'd hate for him to read some of the abuse he gets on here.....

| I have no loyalty to Long, but I don't see what he can do. With no halves to work with he's got a job on. People in here seen to think you can slap a 6 shirt on someone, and with a couple of a training they'll be able to do the job.
You could turn Gale into a prop overnight, so why expect the opposite. The skills are not compatible. The game has clearly been to make the best of the situation, but the team gets slaughtered for running on the 5th.
With Gale now back, and others joining him as he gets back up to speed we'll hopefully see a bit more structure. If not, and it's still rubbish then absolutely Long needs to take some flak

Your pretty much born a half. Vision, flare, rugby brain. That's why good ones are so rare.

| 4/ 5 years should be long enough to rebuild a team, frankly we are little better now than when Furner was in charge. One decent game every 4/5 games. There has to be some form of change as to what is happening. Last night was shocking, not in effort , there was plenty of effort, but that’s about it. A big shout about injuries, OK, injuries are a part, but Wakefield had there injuries to their big players, we played the kids, our kids were the better players on the field. People oh here need to stop making excuses for what is happening. Across the city in the round ball game, nearly all season the team has been playing with players that was from the Championship, they are holding their own because they have a great coach who makes them better.
Unfortunately, we have the three wise men Agar, GH and Sinfield, some of the signings have been terrible, some of the contract handed out have not been fit for purpose, yet some people on here who think they know the game, because they played it, or did some coaching think they know more than others, have little or no idea other than to give excuse after excuse, and tell others they are wrong and know nothing about the game.
I’m ready to be shot down, but before you shoot me down, look at Saints or Wigan , they lose players every year to the NRL, they replace them with quality or put in kids who simply slot into the team , rarely are they ever outside of the top 4 and they nearly always complete in finals. What are the differences between them and us.
Simply they know how to run the playing side of the rugby club, they know how to recruit and how and when to introduce their kids. We are still buying experiments, taking chances etc, trying to build a team on the cheap , yet on here some try and justify this support the team through thick an thin. Others are not allowed to say otherwise because rhet get torn to pieces.
Sinfield as a player was one of the greats of his generation, it doesn’t mean he is good in his Director of Rugby roll. He employed Furner, Agar, have we improved, ( watch us beat Hull next Sunday)
If we won't make changes in individuals we need to change the plan, it has to be changed to get the very best out of the kids, and to make sure that NRL players want to play for Leeds as opposed to Wire, Saints or Wigan. We are now 8th in the league, closer to the bottom than the top, mid table some will say mid table, I will say cream of the crap.
Next week, I am lucky I will be sat in the room with GH, I cannot wait to have my say to him, afterwards he will know that I for one are not happy and I will ask him how long does he expect the rebuild to go on.
If they don’t change the plan and quickly then they need to make changes to the coach etc
