Quote: Dave K. "Worrying how much some of the Leeds players have gone backwards, players like Watkins and Briscoe are shadows of their former selves. Both were once International players, now iI wouldn't have either in the England Knights as it stands. Although that is nothing in comparison to Ferres and how much he has regressed.

Players like Sutcliff and Singleton looked great when they first came on the scene, but again they haven't progressed.

The club is in trouble and desperately need someone to sort it out.'"

Wane as D.O.R and Powell as coach, if you can get them.

Quote: little wayne69 "Normally I'd agree with you on this point ruuBronn108, for years now we've been taking ex shudds players and turning them into better players and I'm sure we could do the same with Watkins, unfortunately in this case we don't have room for him as our centres are at too higher a standard, however I'm sure saints would benefit from rehabilitating him as your centres don't quite match up to ours, talking of nepotism you do know that has nothing to do with multiple accounts on here.'"


Pretty hard to take someone seriously when they’re (presumably) a grown man and call Huddersfield ‘shudds’. Also, Percival and Naiqama are both streets ahead of Reece Lyne as was Watkins before his injury.

Problem is some people can’t see past how they want to see the club run and what is actually the best way at the time. For example some will go mental if Wane gets the job but he is probably the right fit for where we are right now.

Quote: AS108 "I would like to know what has happened to Watkins.
I think a move to someone like Wakefield would do him a world of good.'"

Above is an earlier quote of yours asking what had gone wrong with Watkins, before he was injured he was the best centre in SL, so why are you including him in the past tense?
You my think that Percival and Nagrama are streets ahead of Lyne and Topou, I wouldn't expect anything else, as for your shudds comment that's in reference to Sheffield Eagles takeover of the Huddersfield Giants which somehow came down in favour of the midgets.HTH.

"Brian McDermott, with a wry smile, nods when asked if he remembers a specific incident which made him realise he was a prick. 'I do', he murmurs.":22575.gif

The idea that sponsors forced Hetherington to take a lesser role in Leeds affairs is utterly bonkers, as is the idea that Leeds didn't spend cash on the squad. The club consistently spent up to full cap; unfortunately since 2015 the players have mostly not delivered in return to the value of their contracts.

Hetherington remains the most experienced and astute administrator in British RL. What might be true is that he's been pulled in too many directions in recent years, including presently dealing with the crisis at Leeds whilst also having to oversee the near liquidation of our tenants, of whom he remains a board member. The first team contractual matters moving to Sinfield have shown perhaps how steady Hetherington was in the role.

What’s bonkers is thinking he just relieved a huge and key chunk of his duties at the drop of a hat midseason of his own sole decision. That’s not Hetherington’s style at all and anyone who has watched him operate wrt to Leeds and the RFL over the years should know that he likes things his way, not giving them to someone who immediately came in and criticised the culture and this week slammed the way the club was run previously as rotten. People pouring big money into the club will want to know where that investment will be heading to over the next 2-5 years. Less likely to spend if the setup Leeds had with Hetherington and McDermott which was constantly viewed as the problem amongst many Leeds fans for a number of years remained the way it was.

Spending to the cap is a bare minimum that most clubs do (and Leeds actually always leave a space for a midseason signing if needed...which it was last year but they wouldn’t do). Given we spent over a decade winning trophies and competition money, the best crowds, good sponsorship/merchandise sales/exposure etc. from the success that others barring Wigan don’t come close to matching then no way did we spend what reflected that success. Hetherington went big in the late 90’s signing the likes of Harris and Senior. Brought in the likes of Ali, Webb, Buderus, Peacock during the 00’s. Last several years not even close to that, the most significant ones were ones we kinda fell into unplanned with Ferres’ off field issues causing his departure, Briscoe was meant to be heading to the NRL until it didn’t come off but he’d already announced he was leaving Hull, Segeyaro only because Hardaker had run out lives and got a loan move to the NRL.
