Quote: G1 "Couple of tongue in cheek comments.

If that constitutes a witch hunt then it really is PC gone mad.....'"


I don't think they would constitute a witch-hunt in 2012 but there used to be a weekly Opta thread and you would often be found commenting on Kirke's underwhelming (in your opinion) contributions and it wasn't always a pre-requisite that he had to have played in the featured game. Here viewtopic.php?f=17&t=488219&tsmp=1344273926 and here viewtopic.php?f=17&t=507147 for example are what appear to be thinly veiled negative references to said player in games he wasn't a part of.

Although I'm sure you'll say you cannot control how your comments are interpreted by others and it says more about them than it does about your goodself.

Quote: G1 "Something you've been saying since 2006 yet the titles keep rolling in.

You, in particular, could do with spending three or our years watching someone like Castleford then you would be appreciate, and deserving, of what we have here at the moment.'"


Deserving - your arrogance knows no bounds.

This team has been in decline since 2004 - the fact it keeps winning titles is as much a reflection in the competition as it is on the team, something I did mention on the previous post.

You are the only person who is suggesting the quality on the field should be ignored because the standards at Leeds aren't dropping as fast as the rest of the league!!

2011 in the main was garbage and 2012 isn't any better the fact that some are prepared to comment doesn't make them any less deserving

On player witch hunts - your constant digs at McGuire, one this week, your intransigence on Buderus, your constant tirade about Kirke says much about your very blinkered views on all matters Leeds and how you have favourites who you seem incapable of seeing fault in.

Completely agree with G in everything he's said. Started watching Leeds in 84. I'll never forget the day we we're getting beat til one of Paul Medleys supersub appearances, the old bloke who'd sat behind us for 4 yrs tapped me dad on the shoulder and said "Your young un will be 50 by the time this lot win owt". I'm 34 now and seen us win the lot with interest! Should appreciate this team now. Spent an hell of a lot before on players with no commitment, to be more inconsistent and win nowt .

I tend to think of Gareth as the Capt Manwaring of these boards.



Full of self importance, and a tad grumpy when the rest of us don't agree with his flights of fancy. It doesn't make him a bad person.....just a little bit odd.

Whilst you look handsome in unifiorm I am falttered and disturbed at the same time that you think of me wearing one.

Like I say, you deserve to be a supporter of a club like Swinton.

I've read some pretty stupid stuff on this forum over the years, but this is certainly up there with the best.

Quote: Sal Paradise "]

I think a more accurate view would be to say since after the 2009 GF. That night had a feeling of that was that team's peak after a big importance was placed on finishing 1st in the league table too after some people tried to down play their 2 previous GF wins by highlighting that Leeds finished 2nd in the table behind Saints and after creating history by doing the hat-trick where now for this group of players, seemingly only the CC which has ending up taking even bigger focus and importance as the years have gone by compared to 2004-2009 when it seemed more like a bonus to the more desired GF. And whilst we've declined in some ways in the last 3 seasons it's hardly the worst decline i've seen in sport with 3 Wembley finals, a GF and WCC to boot and if some of our young talent like Singleton, Hood and D.Smith can break into the team to go with the likes of Ward, Watkins, Hardaker, Hall etc then the bottom of this 'decline' might of been reached already.

2004 they lost 2 games in that season against far better sides than they are facing now - have results improved since then or have they got worse?
