Probably were not expecting such a backlash on the two plots of land were trying to sell off to fund the new South stand.

Welcome to any given message board anywhere, ever.

If the bank have put the squeeze on then I can understand the panic - if the club has to find significant cash quickly then that might present some issues!!

Caddick has bought Cas & is pulling out of all involvement with Leeds because the RU side, his main interest hasn't, can't & won't deliver the premiership RU that he craves.
Plus Brexit is putting a massive unforeseen financial strain on all his other businesses.

Headingley upgrades deemed a non-starter because it's become way too expensive as a consequence of community opposition to illegal green field site sell off's. Going to switch to a Plan B instead involving sale of entire cricket and rugby sites to private housing developers who plan to build apartments in a much sought after residential area.

Plan B involves both cricket (YCCC) and rugby (Leeds Rhinos) sharing a new build complex out at Durkar where the Rhinos will also rugby ground-share with Wakefield Trinity. Central and local government grants along with Sport England funding will cover most of the costs.

Such a pity that the land at Durkar - in the flood plain - has succumbed to the lure of office development.
Otherwise it would have been a good scheme.
Is it April 1st already?

Actually you're all wrong.........

Leeds rhinos, Wakefield wildcats & cas tigers are all part of a merger, where they will now formally be known as West Yorkshire Safari, with home games to be staged at belle vue, due to being modern and structurally sound

I heard it will be re-christened the Belle End stadium. And yes, there will be a bell end end.

Maybe it's time to end bell end end rumours.

Will they sell souvenir polish in the club shop? So that all the bell ends can truly shine?

So according to Hetherington there will be no new signings. Disappointing news, can't see us making the top 4 with the squad we've got.

It's not just about making top four for me, I'd like to see us return to playing an attractive, watchable brand of rugby. can we with the current squad and coaching set up though?

He didn't even say they'd be no signings and even if he did it comes from a man who said this about Tom Briscoe a couple of months before he was announced...

"Hetherington said he is “reluctant” to comment on specific players, but made it clear Briscoe is not on Rhinos’ radar. “With any quality player who becomes available, there is inevitably speculation that Leeds Rhinos are at the front of the queue,” he said. “It is not often we look to bring in players from outside the club and we are certainly not looking to bring in players from outside the club for next season."

Indeed. And more recent example Ferres
