i drove past a billboard with this poster on today on the M62 around leeds, bit naughty if you ask me

Potter is a good coach and this year looks to have settled in which has improved the performance on the pitch( 2nd in the league, scored more tries and more points than any team).

He seems to have got the best out of the team this year which for most of the year has lacked any centres, any halfbacks and a very young backrow.

I'd like to have seen just how far potter would have took us if he had stayed.

I'd be pretty shocked if he's not in the 3 for coach of the year.

How do you come by those conclusions? He's settled in? How so? And what are you comparing our performances this season with? Last season? The season before? And what do you consider to be an improvement in performance?

I think our attack has improved a hell of alot this year and the performances have also improved a hell of alot.

I think your forgetting we have played this year without centres, a halfback or two halfbacks.

We lost sia which was our only signing all season.

He's done a fantastic job, without a doubt.

But what are you comparing those performances with? To have an improvement you must be using a comparison.


Not true. We have played a couple of games without both recognised centres but in most of our other games we have had at least one recognised centre in Gidley and the other centre spot has been filled either by Wheeler, who had already experienced centre position last season, or Meli (a recognised centre) or Dean (a recognised centre). And we have played most of our games with both our halfbacks. Of the remaining games we have played with one halfback unless you count Moore as a halfback, which is what he was prior to going on loan. On only two occasions have we started and finished with no recognised halfbacks.


We lost him so long ago and so completely that I don't think he's been missed at all. He simply wasn't around long enough to be missed. It's just like last season in that respect.


If you want to think so then you are entitled! I disagree, is all.

We have made a improvement on last year under potter.

Meli is not a recognised centre. Wheeler has played about 10 games all season. We only have one recognised centre at the club in gidley, this year we've had gidley, wheeler, flannery, armstrong, meli, sia, dean all start at centre and had ashurst and roby moved there during the game, i would say the centre postion has been a problem this year.

Isn't scott moore back at saints to replace KC when he retires ? Ain't he he played the last 3/4 years at hooker at cas, hudds then back at saints ? Didn't he play hooker for england ? I'd say his postion is hooker now.

Kyle was out for 10 weeks this year! we've had moore(hooker), wilkin(backrow), roby(hooker) all playing in the halfs. We then lost leon to injury for past 3/4 weeks and maybe the year! We have played a few games without both, including a semi final which we was unlucky not to win.

Not many teams would cope with these situations and the coach and players deserve a big pat on the back to still be 2nd in the league.
