I predicted that because of the overall standard of SL which I have consistently said is terrible. Not that this was a great squad just one of the best of a pretty poor group

The fact that squad finished below the likes of Widnes, Wakefield, Cas suggests to me somebody needs to take a long look in the mirror.

The fact the academy isn't producing sufficient quality despite all its advantages of attracting the cream of youngsters

The fact the club after its most successful period in its history cannot afford to bring its place of work out of the stone age should be a cause for concern

Perhaps instead of increasing the staff numbers to ridiculous levels for a business of this size perhaps they could put some money aside to build a bloody stand?

You may want to stop any dissenting voices but you can't defend the indefensible for ever

I thought we were talking about Achurch

But if you and nearly everyone else thought our team was good enough to win the GF again (or at least challenge) then why would GH think any differently?
People on here have bashed last years recruitment especially, but there were very few who were unhappy with our signings before round 1.

very true, that was the case and people just need to be man enough to admit it.

aghh, last December seems so long ago...no floods, everyone confident of more successand William Eve still on his sabbatical

Well said.

Awesome

And where's the link to anyone from Leeds Rugby proclaiming the 2016 squad to be the best ever?

Oh I nearly missed this.

No one's trying to stop "dissenting voices" (deary me) but people blatantly making stuff up like you do on a daily basis is a different matter.

I have always believed that when you're in a hole, stop digging.

Because he runs the club and we are supporters looking on - if he hasn't got more of an idea than us then things really are in a bad way.

It's Brent Webb's

Bet he couldn't wear it for very long sure he will have injured himself just putting it on

Can't believe Ben Hannant is still unsigned. Such a vastly under rated player.

But it wasn't just us fans was it, all the ex players and pundits and current players and coaches all predicted us to be up there challenging. Even Phil Clarke said we would get top 4.
In the first few months of the year all the top teams coaches were still saying that they wouldn't take us lightly and expected us to turn it round because we still had a lot of quality in the squad.
