Its alright, we'v got the undroppable Ferres and Suttcliffe, Savelio would of ended up on duel reg.

This is a travesty now. Every time a decent player becomes available we never seal the deal. E.G. Linked with Austin, we get Tui, who is so overweight and can’t defend for . We think we are getting Taupau we get Merrin who an overweight back rower. The list goes on, Kasiano, Savelio, Kaufusi, Joe Greenwood, Drinkwater, Kenny Edwards, the list is endless. We are becoming a laughing stock. Myler offers nothing and is useless, Sutcliffe is a waste of a shirt, Watkins needs time, Handley just isn’t big or good enough, the whole team looks unfit. Our forwards are too light, make no impact and are dominated far too easily, I was seriously embarrassed to call myself a Leeds Fan this week after our performances and our lack of pride for the Club/Shirt. We haven’t replaced our golden generation players, Peacock, Leuleui, Brent Webb/Hardaker, Burrow, McGuire and Sinfield. We won’t be top table dwellers, we will be the team that teams can say we can get an easy two points against them. We are a joke at the minute and I am so hoping that something changes or something happens.

How close to the cap do you reckon you lot are? Savelio is [iexactly[/i what you needed, I'm stunned you've been outbid for him which is why I'm wondering if you couldn't fit him under the cap limit...

I think we're over estimating how much cap space we have. We didn't have enough cap space to sign Seb and needed to release at least 4 players to fit him in under the cap. Since then, we've released Ormandroyd, Walters, and Mullaly, and brought Donaldson in, so I don't think we have room to sign someone like Savelio.

I'm disapointed we haven't got Savelio, but he's not played in at least 18 months, so it would be a big gamble to bet big money on him.

Pretty grim isn’t it, considering the shortcomings of the squad.

If that is the case, we have some people earning miles more than their worth...

And people that arnt needed...i know donaldson wont be on much but there is liturally no point in signing him imo...its just a body for the sake of it, no need to have him and jjb in the same squad, if jjbs injured put one of your england academy backrowers on the bench, sinfied says he wants a certain percentage of the squad to be academy lads...no point havin them if we'r goin to stack them up behind journeymen. So frustrated with how this seasons going, not the defeats, thats sport, but that for all the talk of getting back to the Rhinos way, we seem to be doin the exact opposite.

Very much so. Certain posters would have a field day if we managed to sign a forward who has played *less* than Stevie Ward in the last 18 months.

Missing out on Ava is more of a concern for me.

I'm not that bothered about missing out on him me. Not played much out in Oz, bad injury, both Saints + Wire let him go.

Neither team let him go. He starred for both. Yes the injury might be a point, but not the letting go.

Peni Terepo about to become a free agent after being drunk and acting like an A-hole on a flight from Tonga to NZ.
He's relativrly fast, hits the line at speed and creates impact - something we're desperately lacking. Does have hands like cows t!ts at times though. Would go very well in SL and would be relatively cheap.
Beggars can't be chooser, chase him early GH.

If we’re going to seriously improve we need seriously improved players mate. Catching and tackling would be high on my list of necessary requirements right now.

Kylie Leuluai was relatively unknown when he came from Manly; but he hardy ever lost a collision and had good hands. There was a reason he was cut from NRL but he was a very solid club prop. We need more of those and less Jamie Matthious....
