| I appreciate the current coaching regime is going to cop plenty of stick over the next week after this latest overwhelmingly disappointing result and poor, error-strewn, indisciplined performance tonight. However, a few points in mitigation are in order...
[list1. Despite winning SL in 2009, it papered over a number of cracks which were already becoming evident.
2. GH was either being naive, or more likely economical with the truth when claiming Leeds had the best squad ever in 2010.
3. Re-signing the so-called 'Magnificent Seven' was a huge mistake, though thankfully two of them changed their minds and buggered off.
4. The CC Final of 2010 was a clear indication of a squad well past it's sell by date.
5. Who is Eastwood's replacement again?
6. Bluey saw the writing on the wall, hence his premature departure.
7. The loyalty shown towards Leeds players associated with past success needs to end now. They've earned sufficient rewards already. It's time to move on.
8. The return of Peacock and McGuire to turn it all around is not guaranteed.
9. Completion rates and errors are important.
10. The time has arrived to ditch this so-called expansive and entertaining style of CEO-inspired bollox.[/list
And finally... yes... the current coaching regime may also need replacing... to be replaced by one which actually coaches the team rather than being coached by the CEO!

When you are not deliberately winding people up you make some fairly relevant points!

| 11. Even mischievous alter-ego trolls make genuine posts once in a while.
You're right with at least 8/10.

To be fair to Jeff, from my observation he’s not made any genuine trolling attempts for a while. Yeah he’s put in some sarcastic posts now and again. But I’m sure he can be forgiven for the odd off post as we all make them from time to time. Some people just seem to have a lifelong axe to grind with him unfortunately!

| if you dont improve when you are at the top you will always fall back into the pack, it's much harder to win the trophies when you are starting behind several other teams
taking the cheap option to replace players, coach and even stand will come back and bite you on the - the fans will take the cheap option and not spend their money anymore

| McD needs to go. Think the rot set in along time ago and it is not all his fault but these players are not playing for him for one reason or another.
Decisions made today for 2012
Senior, Kirke, Bailey, Kylie, Webb, Ali to go at end of season.
Watkins to centre
BJB/Hardaker Full back/wing
Ambler back from Quins
Singleton/Amor. Brought in (Decision on Amor to be made this season) If not up to it let the lad go for 2012
GH to start recruitment NOW! for 2012 and not wait for a jolly to Aus at the end of the season. Substantial amount of salary cap released.
Start grooming youngsters to replace Danny, Kev and Robbie NOW.
Feel better for that knee jerk.

| Get rid of Bailey because of a few punches? He's been our best forward since he came back.
I feel the need slate Burrow down after tonight (I know, who'd have thought I'd ever have a bad word to say about him?) He almost had 2 try assists though with those great slow looping passes of his. Luckily for his outside players though they wernt hospital passes because he managed to find the grass behind them. 1 went for a try, the other almost. His try will no doubt make a lot of people believe he is the best 7 in SL though.

| Last season although we reached the CC final and got to within a game of the GF we never really looked consistently strong. There was far too many times that we won games with late fightbacks and most of the time it was a bit of magic from McGuire that was winning us games. Now he's not there to do it for us and no Peacock either and we look a totally different team.
Next season we need to make plenty of changes, hopefully the coach is gone ASAP so that the new coach can see out the rest of this year and decide who he wants to keep and who he doesn't but most of the players mentioned above will be out of the door hopefully.
We need a new halfback to replace Burrow IMO, he's been going downhill for a couple of years now and never looks like improving, he can have the odd good spell during games but most of the time he's a headless chicken. He's a one trick pony and teams sussed him out long ago, now he offers nothing. The pass he threw for the Lunt interception tonight just sums him up, it's typical of him. Running sideways and throws either flat or more often forward short passes, that one got intercepted but if a Leeds player gets to it they knock on. Time to send him packing along with Senior and a few others.
