Never heard anything like that at all i remember Calderwood getting stick for celebrating before he scored (Salford away,?) & dropping the ball then again for asking to get the same contract as Sinfield & Mags which ended in his departure.
The rest never saw or even heard half of it & i only gave my ST up in 2015 due me & r lass starting new shifts.
This mantra that fans moan or question the Club no matter who signs or who is selected is way OTT & exaggerated imo.
Its a fair criticism when we sign garbage like Evans etc & we have youth Internstionals getting over looked.

| I'm sure the weather conditions will see Agar put out a side carrying a bigger bench and I think that's going to make things interesting today.

| I remember being at the game they paraded Connolly at half time, lots of talk nd moaning of us signing a passed it player when we have great youngsters. But Gotcha knows best, he sad simple as, so that must mean he’s correct.

I think in the last year we’ve improved quite a bit in that we can now often beat poor/average teams by plenty.
Today is an big test against a tough side with plenty of quality players in a big game. They are clear favourites but it’s a great opportunity for us.
I’m particularly interested to see how our overseas players turn up when the pressure is on.
We can’t afford the usual Hurrell 2 knock ons in our half, for example.

It's such a shame the archives from leedsrugby and southstander, and this place aren't saved for 2002/03 to reveal how wrong you are.
We do have stuff from a bit further back where headless chickenery was the name of the game.

| Lets not pretend every signing we made in that era worked out. They didnt. Paul Bell, Brett Mullins, Ben Walker, David Barnhill, Mark O'Neill even Bradley Clyde was far from roaring success stories.
The ambition of the signings was greater, you cant compare those with Evans etc but the club wasnt saddled with debt at that point like it is now.

That i completely agree with Vickery & Ben Cross also spring to mind but the point still stands more youngsters got more gametime & players like Evans Ferres etc didnt get games before them.
Tony Smith dropped Connolly & Adamson foe Mathers & Jjb ditched Cummings for Calderwood.
Agar has a very promising set of young players who are more than caoable of playing SL some more games & minutes than others nows the time to use them more often imo.
P.s Kudos to Agar for giving Tommy H a bench spot yesterday thats great to see

Using a renowned troll to try and back up your pish poor argument. Like I said, you were wrong, nothing surprising. Move on.
