Many on the Leeds (message) board, who are using this as an opportunity to support their long held views that McD. cannot coach (from time at London), think that the training ground facilities being flooded would have minimal impact. These people think leeds lost a few pitches and a weights room. The truth is that in addition to this they also lost their medical treatment, rehab and assesment facilities plus their coaching and support staff offices. They may have also lost a considerable amount of player medical and fitness data and video archive.

With the team training all over the city, assessment of injuries will be a complete nightmare - if somebody gets a knock in training, they cant just get it checked out but have to get in a car a drive for assessment and when they get assessed it will be less accurate. This will have been a major contributing factor into performances by many of the players as will the constant changing of players who are fit to play (teams cope much better with long term injuries and squad stability than constant changes due to short term injuries). Like all clubs, Leeds cannot discuss medical issues with the public and as a result unless players injuries are announced everybody assumes they are fully fit. Most players do not like having medical issues discussed especially if they are short term injuries.

It will be interesting to see what happens to player performance at Leeds when they are FULLY back into the Kirkstall site.

Not getting a full pre season will definitely have had an effect but, we are 14 games (16 weeks ?) into the season now and it looks more like confidence and "team" issues rather than fitness etc (although Maguire looked to have put a few pounds on).
Have they not had any use of the West Park facilities and if not, why not ?

So basically what your saying is that because Leeds have had to do what many other teams do every year anyway that should excuse poor performance! Boo hoo my heart bleeds.
For instance Huddersfield don't have all these wonderful on site facilities that you are describing, they train on a public pitch and only last year got their own private gym facilities. Now I'm sure you will come back with some sarcastic comment about lack of winners medals etc. Well. Quite.
Stop your excuses. These floods happened months ago- if a club with your facilities and cash can't have sorted themselves out by now then it's a poor do. If they'd happened a fortnight ago then fair enough but to still be using it as an excuse now is ridiculous.

For the future. Lilley! He looks like he can become a Kevin Sinfield in terms of having a rugby league brain.
Presently nobody but Cuthbertson.
It's interesting how many Leeds fans thought Burrow wasn't good enough last season. He's head and shoulders above the rest of the team this season.
In terms of performance not height. icon_wink.gif

In my book Burrow has always been a good player, but he's not, and never was, a 'main man'. He is a very good supporting play-maker, and has been tireless this season in trying to drag the Rhinos into matches.

As for picking the bones, I too like the look of Lilley a lot. I see a lot more in him than in Sutcliffe, who's never impressed me that much. And I'd have Joel Moon in a heart-beat.
