bring back powell

It should have taken place for some already!!
The weird thing is though with Webb ,Senior and Ali he was ruthless but seems very reluctant elsewhere especially with the pack and wont even rotate/drop under performers unless injured??

He had a decent player at Bradford with Elliott Whitehead but decided to leave him out of games whilst he was still at the club because he wanted out. If Franny was at Leeds when Greg Eastwood and Danny Buderus wanted to leave the club early they would have been cut out of the team going by what went on with Whitehead. If he was head coach at Wigan this year Sam Tomkins would have been sat on the sidelines all year because of Frannys well intentioned but misguided way of dealing with want-away-players.

He's still young though and I don't think he's get away with such tactics at Leeds..

A bit like Baldwinson really.

Franny was right to do so.

He wanted to knit a team who wanted to be there, working for each other, on limited resources.

Elliot got what he wanted, out.

Not overly sure why you keep bringing this up.

Buderus was only released from the final year of his contract, amicably.
Eastwood had obviously not settled and missed Oz and his family, he certainly didn't just want-out to go elsewhere in SL, he was allowed to go, reluctantly but apparently amicably.
Tomkins saw out five years and then signed to say he wouldn't go to Union, Wigan send him off, again amicably, with a clause that they'll get first refusal if/when he returns.

Whitehead, on the other hand, had only just signed a new five-year deal and then two months later commented that the club wasn't going anywhere and he wanted-out.

Big difference ... would you pick a player who openly denigrates your club?

Cummins was right.

Would I want him as head coach at Headingley? Hmm, probably not, some of the players are still too senior to his ex-player standing at Leeds and, whilst he's done the John-Kear-style underdogs-showing-what-they're-made-of thing very well, I don't think he has the long term ability anyway.

I'm not suggesting for a minute Mac should go. Dooners and Furner are out of work. Either or would be great additions to the coaching team.

Leeds Rhinos have a reputation of taking time to introduce youngsters into the first team. Nice try.

I'll answer everyone else's response when I finnish college..

Leeds Rhinos have a reputation of taking time to introduce youngsters into the first team. Also I believe Baldwinson was still more than welcome to play for the academy since his departure has been announced. Nice try.

You're at college?
Much respect to you.

What's the course?

What's today's lesson? Spelling?

He's learning a new language for his trip to Finland.

I'm hoping you mean when you finish college in July.

We can't wait 20 years.

It's a spelling error.

He meant collage. Got the leaves on ok, but having trouble getting the glitter to stick over the crayon apparently.
