Quote: Cruncher "No.
At one time I used to wonder how it was that Leeds managed to hang onto players like Watkins, Hall and Hardaker given the big money the Aussies were flashing around without being in breach of the cap themselves. But now, having seen how those three perform without Sinfield and Peacock to hold their collective hand, I can understand it - most likely the Aussies never offered them a dime.'"
Many people on this forum have held Leeds up as an example of how we should be "holding on to our better player"... I have pointed out on many occasions, to deaf ears, that it was flawed.... The cost of the Leeds success in recent years is biting now...
