I agree with that. Pearson is passionate about FC, & it looked like his frustration got the better of him. At least his passion will hopefully take the club to where we want it to be.
It will be interesting to see what sort of reaction we get tomorrow from certain players.

It's one year today since we said goodbye to Hetherington and hello to our new owner.

I do think we'll see the effect of pearson's comments tomorrow night. Unfortunately I think it will be a negative and we will get seriously battered and probably looking at 40 points against us at least.

Is this a Sunday morning feeling Jake ?

I see only 8 points either way

You reckon? one win in 8 games, coming off the back of a big loss in France with a serious injury list added to 3 palyers gone from our original roster. Potentially foster and turner as a centre/wing partnership. Add in the public criticism of the squad by our owner plus the fact plenty of them won't be here next season.

rovers, on the other hand, have had a week off, have 4 players returning from injury and have more motivation than us. THey've lost some games recently but only by fairly small margins and have been in much better form than us

Can't see anything other than an easy rovers win. Hope I'm wrong but I rarely am

Rovers are SH*t - I base all my derby predictions on that basis , rarely am I wrong

When was the last time they beat us by more than 10 points ? can't be d to look or remember

He doesn't actually have to improve. All he has to do is deliver what he's already shown he's capable of more consistently and you've got an England international player there.

Last season and the season before.

were only going on what is said in a public interview, we have no idea what is said to players behind closed doors, he could be telling the likes of your houghtons, briscoes, and yeaman that there part of the FC future so what he says doesnt apply to them. thats been said i think its great how much passion he has for the club.

As for people not rating jay pitts, Gentle said that his forwards need to compliment each other, pitts is caple of doing things that neither watts or lynch can do so i can see him getting a place in the 17 against some teams but then been taken out when the game plan changes

Saints, leeds bradford and wigan have all won grand finals, but with teams were built over time. One thing they had in common was a fair share of homegrown players in key positions.

Pearson seems to be very much from the ''sign as many top players in the key positions within the salary cap as we can'' school. This strategy does not bring long term success. It doesn't always bring success.

Leeds did something similiar at the start of super league. They basically signed up an entire team in 97 and won the CC in 99........It was then 8 years later before they had a team consistently successful.

By all means buy into everything 'the messiah' pearson says, but don't be naive enough to think it's going to guarantee much success happiness and giggles, because it dosn't work like that.

I suggest before you comment you know what you are taking about, Pearson has spoken many times about the importance of the youth system.

The first thing he did when he took over was sort out the youth structure at the club.

I love all the hate from Leeds fans for our ambitious owner.

You clearly have selected hearing and you have obviously failed to hear Pearsons numerous comments and references to our youth structure since he has taken over the club, he is very clear about how poor it was and he is investing and addressing this area.

is it only superleague signings which have to be kept until sept 6 or are we allowed to announce nrl signings whenever
