Until Saturday, Leeds are the Super League champions.

Still the reigning champions as we speak just for a few more days. he must have learnt off AP about spin

This is desperate, some "fans" don't deserve a club.

Where's the spin?

They are still the champions. And unless he said "THE champion club", Leeds' record of winning grand finals and world club challenges suggests a champion mentality and a champion club

But when Hudge tells the truth about Paea you're all up in arms, can't have it both ways.

If Leeds aren't a champion club then who is?

I can see a period of not winning much for Leeds to be honest. their back line looks great, but their pack is ageing and could be detrimental to them over the next couple of years

They'll just produce some more, they have a great academy.

But they wont be ready straight away, they have Singleton now, but Peacock, Kylie, Moore, Bailey, JJB etc dont really have any replacements showing the faces in the 1st team. Their hooker situation is currently pretty poor too.

I don't get why people are so bitter. No one can blame him for wanting to go to the NRL. Unfortunatetly when that fell through he had no longer had a contract offer from Hull to sign. What do people want him to do?

Spot on there. Theres no loyalty in any sport these days as much as we like to think there is or should be. Money talks and RL is a very short career. Theres nothing wrong in wanting to get the best for yourself in the relatively short time you have in the game.

Think of it like this: You are emigrating to Aus, you hand your notice in at work, they employ a replacement for you, then the specialist job you were going to in Aus no longer exists so you decide to stay at home. What would you do? You would get another job and sharpish to pay the bills as your boss couldn't sack the person who took over your job. Toms situation is no different.

And I can't believe idiots like you are let of of your institutions.

Just why has he had zero respect for the fans?

Face of the matter is, he was very close to joining Crunulla until their drugs investigation when he was advised to stay well clear.

I also don't understand how some think Leeds have pulled the rug from beneath us. AP offered him a deal and Briscoe declined. When Briscoe came back when his Aus thing went sour, he was told there was not deal.

Also don't get the "two faced" comment from another poster. Tom has done the right thing and kept his mouth shut. Not like he said he wanted to be at Hull all his life and then turned his back on the club.

Some people need to get a life.

How can you say he's not been loyal he's honoured the contract he signed

Good Luck to Tom Briscoe, we held on to him a lot longer than I thought we would to be honest. You can't blame him for securing a long term deal with a club that really does have aspirations to be the best
