As someone who lives in the city and talks to a lot of Rhinos fans I can confidently say that our current friend is probably in a minority of one.

Unconcerned about Leeds to be honest. They're a tough nut for us to crack at Headingley, but I can't see them making the play offs over the course of the season, so fairly irrelevant unless we get them away in the cup. London and Salford should be weak enough to keep them clear of relegation. I hope the disparity between their expectations and the reality doesn't result in good young talent released as we did in their situation in the early-mid 00s

We’ll see.

Mmmmm, your own fans would beg to differ. Look closer.

I'm sure most are as bored as I am.

Let's try to get back on topic please.

My Dad’s bigger than your Dad. Pathetic

According to one of our Red Vee tinted specs supporters. Gildart was weak defensively, despite not missing a tackle. Williams & Tomkins - Both halves were poor (or were just made to look poor by the Kiwi pair). Only occasionally threatened the line, kicking was generally poor and there was no game control at all from either of them. And the best Bateman - p%%% poor game. Defensively weak, dropped balls, impersonating a statue for the Kiwi's 2nd try. forums.redvee.net/showthread.php ... land/page5

Most that I have spoken with can’t accept that Gildart was chosen over Percival. I had a right laugh with a bloke that said Bennett is a terrible coach who for some reason ignores the best players. It was really quite entertaining. Perhaps this is where their ‘entertainers’ title comes from?

if only we'd have had the full compliment of every English qualified Stain player in the team we would have won the series before kicking off for the first game (or maybe "dreamed" we would have won)

Don’t sink to their level. England did well whether that be Gildart, Makinson or (insert player who plays for another team).

Yes we could be better in some areas, some players were not as good as others but I don’t think anyone played badly.

Beating the team that beat Australia 2 weeks before justified Bennett selections, I didn’t agree with them all and still don’t, I’m entitled to my opinion however there’s a reason he is England coach and I’m not.

O'loughlin played 12 minutes. I think he got injured doing that kick because he fell awkward and was limping after. It would of been a great kick had he managed to sit it up in the field of play but he got too excited and over cooked it
