Going with what we have, minus Hardaker. No surprise there then.

A cheap HB will be signed. Lui, Wood or Soward or

GH can hardly trot out his pre-season spiel from the last decade "We have the best squad ever at Leeds, and we believe we are well placed to win more trophies because of it" or whatever if we don't shake the squad up more. Otherwise the truth would be "Last year was a disaster. Hopefully the senior players have finished their year-long holiday and are ready to aim for 8th".

Its October, calm down

Any signing wouldn't train until december or Jan if they were an international so there isn't a huge rush

I just hope what I heard the other day isn't true, otherwise it will change the very fabric of our existence and cause a complete breakdown of societal structure the like of which destroyed civilizations thousands of years ago.

Why wasn't anyone in the coaching setup willing to admit to this in all the wasted time he was with us? A passenger all that time. Always wondered if Mac was waiting for a miracle of biblical proportions when suddenly Achurch would become a decent player.

That would then cast the spotlight firmly at the person who agreed the deal i.e. GH and we all know you don't criticise Gary and get away with it.

Last year Sinfield suggested he would like to have Gary's job - one day - where is he now!! a classic case of cutting your nose off!!

What exactly should they have done? Publicly slate his signing? That's not exactly how you run a club by slagging off one of your players in the press.

That he was out of the picture at the start of the year and at Fev showed what they thought of him and whenever that happened or he didn't make the 17 people use to criticise McDermott for not giving him a proper chance because he wasn't one of his "favourites"......then when he did pick him this year out of necessarily because of injuries he got slated for it and people saying Achurch is one of his favourites.

More balanced output from the club would be a good start. Saying every year this is the best squad on the planet is a joke nobody takes it seriously no point even saying it.

Last season was nothing short of a disgrace some honest appraisal of what they could have done better would be welcome

They could do that with regards to this seasons performance......we were on about Achurch though?

Sometimes signings don't work out you just need to be big enough to admit you got it wrong?

Plenty of back slapping when it works not much contrition when it doesn't ?

Oh look he's making stuff up again. 9.66943359375:5
