Cyclical you say?

[irlPlus ça changerl[/i

I accept the points about any sport being cyclical, particularly a SC one, but I don't believe that many (sane) fans expect Leeds to win either trophy every year. Personally, now that we've done the "winning it" bit, I can live without success for a few years, as long as we are competitive and maximise what we have got to work with, and this is the bit that we are failing with in my view.

The current group of players are much more capable than they are currently showing, and although some are not what I would hope to see playing for Leeds, they are individually and collectively capable of much better.

So is the problem the coach, the players, or both? I suspect it's a bit of both, but given the fact that any changes in contracted players would probably involve paying them off and that would count on the cap, I guess we won't be seeing many changes in playing staff mid season. That leaves us with trying to get the most out of what we have (until the end of the year when there will be a whole host of players moving on I suspect) and begs the question "do we (or GH) believe that the current coaching team can achieve our potential this year?"

We will find out the answer over Easter I think.

I'm on that ... I like that ... a lot!

Another thought ... this is very familiar ...is spellchecker TVOC?

At least we know Gotcha's real name now...

Whoever said we should sign Connolly and Poching was not wrong.

I don't think we will find out over Easter.

Why?

Because Leeds fixtures over Easter are against Bradford and Crusaders... two teams whose recent performances have been even more lamentable.

If Leeds are still saving their worst performance of the season for later, I doubt it would equate to them getting mullered 56-16 by Salford.

So the revenue from customers drops, profitability drops what happens? regime change it happens RL is not immune - how did GH end up being at Leeds in the first place?

GH ended up at Leeds because he and Paul Caddick bought the club. If as you say the revenue and profitability drops and the club is put up for sale (which I think we are a million miles from) then the only people who have a say in who the new CEO is are those willing to buy it as I said.

I watched the Bulls v Salford yesterday and the Bulls were terrible once they realised they were not going to win. For the first 10 minutes of each half they were ok (not good), showed some shape in both defence and attack, but then switched off completely to let Salford run away with it. If they can put in a performance lasting 25 minutes per half instead of just 10, then I can see them potentially beating Leeds. The Bulls problem was lack of effort, whereas Leeds problem is complete lack of structure. I know which is easier to fix...

Yup. spot on.

can't wait for Thursday.

Must win for both.

I'm really hoping that we don't get subjected to another poor performance from Leeds this season like we did on Friday and we are already at our lowest ebb.

Good thing it is Bradford then we're playing based on their performance against Salford. Surely we can't be as bad as that lot ?

Problem is I bet Potter won't be relying on fiddling with a rubber glove to inspire his players on to greater efforts.

Pull the pin...........

....and run like hell!!!
