| Our recent history alone tells us how important recruitment is.We needed bodies after apparently losing our dual reg lads who all did a good job.I wonder if any of them are due to be released.
Did we sign the right ones, at the right cost,for the correct length of time.Hock came and went.If we paid him what fev did,too much.
Are Toronto paying part of AJ Emmitt and Ryans wages.If so, good deal.Are any of them better players now than when they left.If so keep em at the right cost,not a q of clubs for them Emmitts had a pit stop off to wherever.
Someone likened Ryan to McGuire.I wish.McGuire showed his play making skills when KR won at Headingly so much so much so Leeds tried to sign him back.
Cas and Salford let Sau and Clark leave early, both would have been on larger contracts.Neither has broke any pots for us.Clark and Brown are just passing through
Reynolds returned and we hand him a contract for this year and next.Seems very generous.
Did we think we had a genuine chance of going up.Did we hear Toronto might not make it one road or another.Did we fall for players agents bluster, again.
Half of Sundays team are gone.Should we have saved the money spent for next year.Sure agents will have been on the dog maybe one or two new faces already signed.Are Derek and Duffs on the first Quantas out after season ends, with a corner of the bar booked at Manchester airport to sign up more returnees from a promoted Toronto looking to offload more players.
Never a dull moment for us leythers.

Yes Glow,but one has to be subtle. You can't turn around on here and say what the hell is Duffs doing.
Melt down springs to mind.

Why not its an unofficial board isn't it?
Isn't it the mods job to make sure that doesn't happen?

| We are well blessed at half back with various combinations available, however the coach needs to do some work on the basic skill of keeping your eye on the ball and catching the blasted thing.

..........and passing it to someone wearing the same colour of shirt! (some of Sunday's passes were going well behind their intended recipients)

If we are not getting promoted why such a censorship on injuries or whatever again.'"
Your right it’s not down to us who plays however, as supporters we are entitled to honest explanation’s !
We read all sorts of reasons why players are selected or, not, from well meaning supporters in ‘the know’ !
Something has concerned me all season! Why do we continually lose possession? We are frivolous with the ball and subsequently spurn scoring chance after chance ! We very often dominate play but allow our opponents too many opportunities to score through a lack of concentration when in possession!
Too many times this season we have squandered heathy leads and, we have lost the games as a consequence!
I would love to see us pile the pressure on opponents following a score. On the re-starts we either lose out to short kick offs or cough up the ball early! I’d love MrDuffy to consider kicking the ball back deep into our opponents territory on the first tackle instead waiting until the fifth tackle when their fullback is back in position!
Just try something different instead of repeatedly losing the ball !

Not just with us though is it.The British game as a whole has been poor on basics for more than a decade.
We have had internationals who can only pass the ball one way.Kids should concentrate on the basic skills being drilled into them prior to competitive games

ColD , I’m not sure whether my observations are correct or not ? You obviously don’t agree I wonder if anyone thinks I’m wrong?
I don’t mind sarcastic comments, it makes me laugh !

| It's been a great season, but right now we are really 'out of form' aren't we ? Can't see it changing real soon either....

| If this board turns into a “How great we are “ group where criticism is not welcome, it will die.

If you can’t have an opinion, right or wrong, then why have a Forum...?If we all thought the same and agreed with everything it would be a pretty boring world.
