I believe it's what you wrote....because you wrote it. I also believe you've got your nose firmly planted up Wiliam's backside just like his other hanger-on both desperate to impress him.

I hope you're not suggesting the defensive efforts against the likes of Huddersfield (x2), Sts away, Hull KR at home were in any way indicative of a team focused on defence? If so you've got very low standards.

No we didn't, we said one thing and one thing only, that the defence improved vs Salford. | | | |

I'm sure it did. Can you think of any particular reason why it's been a pile of shoite for the rest of the season?

So can I, and none of them have anything to do with injuries.

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 |

Who is we? who "are you desperate to impress"  did you even go to the game?
The defence effort wasn't any better - the quality of the attacking against it was simply of a lower standard.
Do you believe based on Friday night's effort the likes of Warrington would not have scored 40+? | | | |

There are three distinct groups on here:
1. Those that support the management and will use any excuse to explain away the current debarcle - Juan, you, loiner etc
2. Those that are prepared to challenge and question why things are so bad, Jeff, me, Nantwhich,Gotcha etc
3. Those in the middle - DHM, Brisbane, Gilder
So those in group two are brown nosers incapable of rational thought but those in group 1 including you are free thinkers - are you for real?
Much harder to challenge the status quo than just accept the club is doing the best it can and its current predicament has been unavoidable.
Who are the sheep here!! | | |

Don't worry about avoiding temptation.

| Quote: Sal Paradise "There are three distinct groups on here
You seem to see yourself as some white knight challenging the dark side ( coach and club) with the same boring conclusions. Some of what you say has merit but why go on and on and on with new postings saying the same thing. I think you will find that most of my postings are a response to other negative ones. I rarely start a new thread to state the same thing over and over again. You use the term excuse while others may legitimately say mitigating circumstances.
To suggest it is harder to challenge the status quo is a bit rich. The internet is a haven for outrageous, unregulated and anonymous keyboard warriors who post stuff they would never dare say to the persons face.
If you have to put the regular posters in boxes the headings could alternatively be divided thus;
1. Those whose default position is to post daily negative comments continually season after season
2. Those who continually challenge the above negative postings with alternative more positive and forgiving thoughts.
3. Those that occasionally post both positive and negative comments.
4. Mutual back slappers who gang up to attack an outsider.
Although I certainly would put my hand up for being included in category 2, I do also drop into category 3 too. I have quite often criticised certain players and management decisions. I would place you in category 1 with rare ventures into 3 and 4.
None of us can claim to be right and differing opinions should be welcomed and not denigrated .

Oh grow up you silly old fart and stop making stuff up. You act like some pre-teen school boy arguing over who's got the best toys. It's embarrassing.
Please quote me "supporting the management and using any excuse to explain away the current debarcle" (sic) and good luck with it because you won't find anything bar the odd post agreeing with some of the more level headed posters on here.
You really need a break from the internet Sal, it's turning you into one of those conspiracy theorist morons.

Oh dear what would we ever do without your heroic challenging of the "status quo" when things are bad (of course ignoring that even when things were going great over the years you were exactly the same predicting and calling everything cr@p) I'm sure the club is scrapping the Sinfield statue to put one up of you for your bravery instead.
You might like to think you're doing it for some greater good of the club but reality is you're just a misery guts who likes to think he knows better than the club and the people at it.
Oh and Gotcha is in no way a brown noser....it's just you and Nantwich

Anyone who'd bet against the 2015 Rhinos of making the top 4 is clearly either not very bright or is, more likely, just an agenda driven internet troll who can't help himself.

Careful now Printer, you'll have William Eve being offended on behalf of Sal... and calling you a bully.

| I have no compunction to defend myself line by line against detractors...people can draw their own conclusions.
Suffice to say i am not a member of any clique or us/them group and do not proclaim to be.. I enjoy William Eve's postings and undoubtedly i 'get' his apparent sense of humour ...so maybe often respond in a similar vein...more so than to others who perhaps fail to inspire in a similar way. At other times i might care to post something in a more serious vein...but considering it IS just a game taking myself too seriously would be perhaps rather remiss of me.
... However, all on here are simply names to me....nothing more !! If i ever did meet anyone here in person i might find i disliked William Eve immensely and conversely found myself in a bromance with Printer .. I perceive not ...but who knows !!! Life is full of surprises
Back on topic....Leeds are still shiite and any sense of improved efforts in defence has surely to be considered in conjunction with the levelling down weather conditions (funnily enough wasn't Hull at home our last victory?) and an opposition team that was just as shiite. IMO only of course |
