I'm not a pheasant plucker, i'm a pheasant pluckers son and i'm only plucking pheasants till the pheasant plucker comes.:cartoons/WB153.gif



Quote: Matt23 "I don't know but I can guess...

a) We are tight and don't like paying transfer fees.
b) The rumours are truer (or more believable to the club) than we think. (It's not like he doesn't have previous for being a t*t).
c) His wage demands (compared to what Wigan may (or may not) be giving him, were way too high.

We've lost 2 international players (Ellis & Toopi) and replaced them with one (Buderus). Add to the fact we've lost Scruton, the recruitment of another player before the end of the season is vital IMO.

But this brings the question, do we want an out and out centre, with big wage demands and the reputation for being abit of a liability off the pitch?
Gleeson would have been a nice signing in terms of balancing up the side, but I also feel we're very lightweight upfront now.
Like I said I'm 50/50 on this issue, but I think we're a big lad light upfront, and would prefer to see money going on that, than Gleeson.'"
I don't think tight can be used against GH in regarding transfer fee's we have over the years probably paid out as much as any other club.The rest I agree with you.

Quote: Longun "I'd have been interested in signing Gleeson for Leeds, but certainly not for £100K and Mathers!
Wigan once again showing their desperation, although it hasn't donw much good. It's the coach Wigan have, not the players!'"


How much did Wigan add on top to offload poor old Richard?

It'll take Gleeson more than a week to have an impact on that shower from Wigan but they had a really tough programme at Easter (unlike some) and didn't look that bad against decent opponents. Catalans in particular are everything Leeds aren't at the moment and that is dominant in the pack.

Quote: G1 "Who mentioned necessary? I said its' no guarantee of anything.

Explain how signing anyone in the world would "guarantee" we don't lose the WCC, lose to Saints in the CC and lose 2 league games on the trot.'"


No guarantees that's why it's sport and not sports entertainment.

How do you define "at the moment"? Does "the moment" include the other Friday when that dominant catalan pack visited Headingley?

At the moment (for me) is since that visit to Headingley where they have won their last three games at the same time as Leeds have lost theirs.

The Catalan pack was particularly impressive V Wigan after a slowish start where Ryles and Ferriol were pretty awesome.

I agree but that's the very same pack that was destroyed by our out of sort's and "lightweight" pack in 2nd gear.
It prove's that form is temporary!

I see.

Luckily then if its' a 3 game period our pack can do like it has done in the playoffs the last two years and all this hand wringing will have been unnecessary.

It's not forced to be limited to a three game spell at all, it could just be the start as could Leeds' forward slump.

We're all hoping so I'm sure, I don't think we can do it unless we add to the squad, I'll more than happily eat my words if wrong though. Until then I'm going to look at ways I think we can improve.

Not for me mate, don't rate him. He's Chev Walker without the size IMO. Shenton is a far, far better player.

Ryan Bailey (11/11/83) - The Most Feared Man In Super League The Most Feared Man In Super League (TMFMISL) * Coined by thebloodbath * Inspired by Bailey *:39092.jpg

It's not a bad call. From what I've seen he's had a cracking start to the season. Maybe some of the Shakie Wakie lot could clarify this? Last year, my issue with him, was that he wasn't producing the top stuff on a regular basis, he was hit and miss. But so far this year, he looks the piece and is looking deadly will ball in hand, and showing neat footwork near the try line.
