Why is it that everyone thinks that because I’m not excited about our new signings there is an assumption that I’m somehow opposed to them?

It’s like assuming that if someone doesn’t like the taste of pork then they must be a vegetarian.

For the record I’m sure Cross, Hauraki, etc will do us well it’s just that they’ve not stirred my loins.

No room for sentiment. If he's not good enough then move him on.

Coady and Pitts don’t do anything for me - I hope I'm wrong though.

But the likes of BJB, Watkins, Clarkson, McShane and Amor are no doubt the ones that’ll cement a first team place for years to come unless one of them has a lot of bad luck. However I think that the most exciting prospect we have is Luke Ambler. Such a shame that he’s on a season long loan.

Don't disagree ( for once), I wonder where he'll end up? Wakey ( if they exist in SL) or Salford, maybe even the Crusaders but I can't see him leaving his horse behind for the Quins.

i like pitts and time is on his side. still not sure about watkins but again he has loads of time on his side

Watkins from what I’ve seen of him is potentially world class. Some of his flick passes are as good as you can get from the best in the NRL. His pace isn’t too bad either. On another plus is that he’s improved year after year. But the downside is his injuries. Hopefully the Rhinos are as paitiant with him as they have been with JJB over the years.

I’m probably been a bit harsh on pitts and coady because they haven’t had much time to prove themselves properly. However

I'm glad you've finally seen sense.

He's done 2. One went to hand, the other went in the North Stand.

Don't worry, I won't be making a habit of this.
Not that you care anyway.

McShane is probably the most over rated young player I have ever seen.
I'll take that back, that would be Ste Tyrer, but you get my drift.

By whom?

I'm yet to hear anyone over enthuse about him which would probably mean he hasn't been over rated.

I also like the look of Pitt's when he's been given a chance, his handling skills are very good, he could still prove to be a very useful player at the club imo

Regarding Watkins, I hope that his operation and his re-hab were both a total success and that this off-season will see him start in the best possible condition, he has the potential to be a very good player, but he's never had an extended run as yet

I also look forward to seeing Ambler back at the club for 2012, he should get lot's of game time at the Quins next season, we will be the beneficiaries of this loan season upon his return

The club will also put Hardacre on a strict weights programme which will enable him to bulk up to the 15 stone mark,this kid has bags of potential and talent

The club has a good stream of young,talented players within it's system,and this is despite our relative lack of academy success' of late club wise!

Stevie Ward is also progressing very nicely through the ranks, this kid could be whatever he awants IMO, he has not only the potential to be a future Rhinos star but also to be an established International player, He reminds me very much of Paul Sculthorpe at that same age!

The fact that these junior players are also in a training camp which is crammed full of successful,trophy winning sl payers,should also help them to attain that winners mind-set that runs throughout our club,of which we will again reap the rewards in due course
