Well, i know for a fact you are incorrect with regards to the financial priorities, the funding for the southstand regeneration is ring-fenced through a few different funding sources and grants outside of the clubs normal revenue streams.

Im not at all underwhelmed by Brian McDermotts appointment. It seems SL fans see only the underlings of Australian Head Coaches as worthwhile. Many people were underwhelmed with Tony Smiths appointment

As for the 'age and effectiveness of key players' Sinfield and Mcguire had great years last year, they are the two most influential players at Leeds and Mcguire was imo comfortably the best S-O in the league last year and had his best season for a long while, Cross has been brought in to cover for the very talented but injury prone Eastwood will take a lot of work off Peacock. 'Age and effectiveness' was the same issue thrown about in 2006 at the likes of Lauitiiti, Senior, Peacock et al, all came good again.

Gary Hetherington comes off as abit of an idiot to be honest. TO ALL LEEDS FANS DEFENCES WIN RUGBY LEAGUE GAMES ASWELL AS ATTACK !!!!!! You seem years away from us with your coaching set up, Current squad,youth acadamys just admit your run has come to an end and wigan are back P.S what will you leeds fans be doing on feb 27th because we will be watching the 2 best teams in the world.

Settle down princess. This may come as a wee bit of a surprise to you, but for the last 10 years Wigan RL has been a bit of a joke. Remember the 70 nil tonking in the summer of 2005? That's the level of amusement you provided at Headingley. As far as the modern game, since the turn of the century it's been Leeds, Saints and Bradford. You simply were there to make up the numbers, and were not successful enough to generate any ill feeling. In fact, more comment was made when you lobbed a bog brush onto the pitch!

You took everybody by surprise last season, and played some crackin' rugby, and may well be in for a golden spell yourselves. Until you do though, all this "we are so good, everyone hates us" is a tad embarassing, and will doubtless provide us with many pish taking opportunies next season.

Well if Leeds don't spend any time, money, or other resources on the ground upgrade from their normal revenue streams, they'll be the first club in history to do so. Paying for the capital costs is one thing, it's all the other crapola that comes with these projects that will effect the day-to-day bottom line.

Good luck if you think Brian McDermott is the answer to your coaching position.

Peacock, Senior, Buderus, Lauititi will all be a year older and more prove to injury (as well as retiring sooner), add in the fact your best hooker went and a less than sparkling set of youngsters coming through to take up the slack, and I'd be worried if I was a Leeds fan.

Like what? the loss of revenue from ticket sales is limited as the time chosen to rebuild will have minimal impact on Leeds season, there are additional revenue streams (as well as grants) that otherwise wouldnt be applicable than for the rebuild. Not to mention the company doing the rebuild being own by a certain Mr Caddick
Yeah, as I said, some RL fans only recognise the underlings of Australian coaches.

Are you falling for Rogues myth? Leeds have a great set of youngsters coming through, Surprisingly they have Props like Ambler, Pitts and Burgess, second rower in Clarkson, Stewart, Singleton, a Centre in Watkins, and a hooker in not only McShane but Liam Hood. Its almost like it was planned.

Very average youngsters and id hardly call burgess a youngster also mcshane is awfull looks three stone over weight

None of which would get into the Wigan team. Well, maybe Burgess.

Didnt they all play yesterday and get turned over by Fev???
