It ain't what you takin', it's who you takin' from, ya feel me? How you expect to run with the wolves come night when you spend all day sparring with the puppies?:41106.jpg |

| I think we'll be there or thereabouts again this year - can't really ask for much more than that in a salary capped league.
The top 4 or 5 teams have definitely improved significantly last year and probably will again this.
I am looking forward to seeking how our squad develops as the year goes on - we need to bring some of the kids through ready for the next few years but we have some genuinely talented kids on the fringes...BJB, Watkins, Hood, Ambler, Clarkson etc

icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg 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 |

| Should be an interesting year my concerns are:
Lack of half back for over half the season and it is unknown wether McGuire will resemble the player of last year - those who think Sinfield is a 6 are in denial - without McGuire last year we would have lost a lot more games than we did.
Lack of go forward without Peacock, Kylie nice fellow but easily neutralised, less said about his defence the better - as for Peacock read McGuire - will he be the player he was?
How much game time will Senior get? his defence is shocking and with another year is unlikely to improve
I was a big McClennan fan but the last year was very poor and the team stagnated at best. Hopefully under McDermott we will see a a more expansive free flowing style. Hopefully the young players will blossom - Liam Hood is the most exciting talent at Headingley since McGuire
I think we will finish top four behind Wigan, Warrington and Huddersfield - can't wait for the season to start

Looking forward to a season of rational discussion with you - let's hope we can raise the quality of debate beyond the norm - although I doubt it - sadly

| I predict...
Continued decline in overall standards of British RL
Increased levels of static, defense oriented games
Sky commentators stating that this is the most competitive season ever and that every team can beat everyone else 'on their day'
An almost blanket disappearance of RL coverage at a national level
Another dire set of performances by the England side in the 'four' nations
Further financial struggles for three or four 'top flight' clubs including Harlequins Crusaders and Wakefield
Continued decline in attendances at club games
Leeds will win the double

| I think we'll probably be competitive, but doubt we'll win the league. A bit of a transition season. May do ok in the cup

| I can't see what all this transition and going backwards crap is all about and anyone who says we are not producing the young talent cannot be watching the same young players as me. We had a season without trophys ok. but just look at the injurys we suffered. I fully expect the team to be in the shake up, what more can you realisticaly ask for. I am not sure yet whether the new recruits are of the standard needed but give them a chance. Some of the youger guys have a chance to lay down a marker this season and one or two will make it. As for the production line, well like other clubs you have to let one or two go and risk them proving themselves elsewhere can't keep them all, but just look at a few in the pipeline, Hood an undoubted future star,Casey looks good to me, Singleton, Stewart, Wilson, carvell, Syron all looking good to me.

38511.jpg [b:3v5chy3z]Brian McDermott paraphrased Peter Fox.
"He'd say if we had 13 Bernard Dwyers we wouldn't lose many RL games. It's the same for us with JJB"[/b:3v5chy3z]:38511.jpg |
|
| i think that we'll be competitive yet again in sl,whether that will be enough for us to win it,only time will tell
i hope that phil clarkes rugby gods of the "hot balls in the bag variety" are in our favour,
as 2011 could be our year for a cc win
write the rhinos off at your peril!

Would David Howes be Danny Brough's agent, by any chance?

Let's see what Howes says about Leeds on that link...
[i"Leeds have got a lot of work to do – will Danny McGuire and Jamie Peacock not being there for half a year be a big blow?"[/i
Sounds like a reasonable assessment to me.
The observed pet-lip must be all in your imagination.

Not according to rlTHIS LINKrl but Rob Burrow most definitely is.
The absolute nerve of Rob Burrow in employing David Howes as his agent!

2pm! You've finished your round quick! Wait till TNT take you over .... you'll be doing a full days work then Postman Pat!
As for Mr Howes, I suspect he's as welcome at Headingley as you are Jeff
