People (including me) should probably wait to see the attitude of the NRL's chosen 2nd and 3rd representatives but I just don't see what's in it for them to make the disruption worthwhile.

I'm not very hard, but I also have auto correct switched off. Mistakes still happen, but they're my sausage fingers' responsibility, not Apple's.

I don't agree. You can't dip your toe like this. For teams to commit to crossing the globe for a match there has to be something at stake. A friendly match in no way replicates any meaningful contest. I can't see why either side in the exhibition games would take it seriously.
Get them over for a fortnight, two from NRL, two from
SL, semi finals week 1, final week 2 and you might be onto something.
Play a Roses match as a curtain raiser for the final for players not involved (or even te Exiles match if that's your thing) and scrap the Magic weekend.
Job's a good 'un. |

Considering the efforts shown against Saints last night compounded by the strange reticence of our esteemed coach to use 2 subs even when down to 12 men; the fact that Moon (and Hardaker - after trial by twitter? I wonder whether the perpetrator of the malicious twisting of his leg will get similarly tried?) could be facing a lengthy ban; Leeds could probably finish as low as 6th and the team having no apparent depth in trusted squad members I do feel that is it now.
Saints will win the shield and Wigan or hopefully Castleford will win the GF. I do think Cas will have learned much from the CC final and I have a sneaky feeling they can do it.'"
Ahem! I think I got shot down in flames for daring to suggest this !!!
Admittedly I might have been deceived by Cas having a chance of winning the GF (that's most likely to be Wigan)...BUT it was patently obvious what the players wanted this season. It must be hard to motivate yourself enough to go the extra mile again to win the championship after having so much previous success there......that's where the good coach enters the equation of course with his motivational abilities and selections.
Leeds are potentially making the mistake of rewarding the core players of a hugely successful era just a little too much with excessively extended contracts.
As supporters we owe this team a great deal for what they have given us to cheer about....I just hope we do not see them slide into an ever decreasing pale shadow of their former selves. Some are already there (McGuire is, apart from a couple of good performances this year significantly epitomised by his CC final appearance) and some are damn close (Sinfield and even Burrow are - when was the last good game the latter had?)
. ..renewing Peacock's AND Lleulai's contracts seems particularly daft and sentimental.
Roll on 2015 |

Sinfield is liability now, he offers nothing in attack.

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |

Why, sentiment in sport gets you nowhere, GH needs to show some guts and get rid of done of the old guard.

Pure genius and yes you were shouted down by several who appear to be oblivious as to the direction the club is sadly now heading. |

And if anyone could be d looking, they'll find a few totally contradictory posts by you too.
Well done for covering all bases though. [i#armchairfans[/i |
