Board index ‹ Super League ‹ Leeds Rhinos - southstander.com ‹ Clearout: Who should go, and who should stay?

Tykes / Rhino's number 1 fan, you mention Amor and Ambler and giving youth a go, but then neither are in your 17 but Moa.

I can't wait for JP to come back and shove your words down your throat. He's been off the last few weeks but is being flogged. If you have a car, you don't put the pedal to metal constantly, you ease of now and again. McD hasn't let Peacock do that. He isn't a bad player, just a shattered one.

You also mention McShane and Hood but have Sinny at 9 and again they're not even on the bench. We ask if things could worse than they already are, and having you as coach would be a disaster. Great players don't become crap over night. Fair enough, some need to go, but show respect to the players that have given their heart and soul to our club. Players like Kev and JP have dragged us single handedly to the winning post at times and then 'no 1 fans' like you write them off when their form dips for a few weeks. Any fan can see the team is out on its feet. Most of the squad haven't had a rest for 3 years and McD hasn't used the squad adequately.

OUT

Numpty Leeds fans who let their mouths run away with them.

This would be the James Lowes that played most of his junior rugby at 6.

Lowes was a scrum half with Hunslet before we picked him up.

Famously dominated, from scrum half, a Leeds team including a fine array of future head and assistant coaches in Schofield, Wane, Maskill, Goodway and Hanley.

As an aside is that the last time Leeds played the Hun in a competetive game (tvoc)?

Having visited South Leeds a few times this season, I'd guess it's quite some time since anyone played the Hun in a competitive game!

As Ringo Starr might have once wrote to Marge Simpson 'sorry for the lateness of my reply.'

Yes it was. That game (28 - 20) was in the Yorkshire Cup 1st round (13th September 1992) and was watched by a Headingley crowd of 5,952.

Lowes would make his Leeds debut just 19 days later in a 13 - 4 home win V Warrington in the league.

The mention of Moa won't happen. He's most likely going to be going to the NRL as he has stated that he wants to play there whilst he's in his prime and he can. I think that all of his family are over there and so that will be a pull too.

In answer to the OP's original question - Father Time should be sharpening his scythe for Peacock and Leuluai. On the basis that they are offering little to the first team that one of the Under 20s couldn't, Moore and Hauraki should be following Webb out of the exits. I feel bridges may have been burned with McShane, so it may be best for all concerned if he moves on.

Do you think the club would have offered Kylie a new deal only a few weeks ago if that were the case?

Personally I think Peacock & Leuluai can still do a job for Leeds. They just need to be used correctly, something we're not doing at the moment. Peacock is no longer a 60-80minute player

OUT
Lee Smith, Clarkson, Webb, Mc Shane, Ambler, Griffin/Moore

IN
Lunt(if poss), Amor (re called), Chisholm, Singleton, Keinhorst

Lee Smith has failed to raise his game beyond mediocre and is exposed in any other position than wing where he is too slow.

Clarkson has been shocking and offers nothing in attack. Unfortunately our 2nd row has too many players that do little with ball in hand. Delaney is another average back rower that would fail to get into any other SL squad unless he is .

Mc Shane appears to be on his way. If so, yet another shambles of recruitment. Given a long term contract then discarded. Don't blame him for going.

Griffin/Moore. It would be harsh on Moore if he was shown the door but the pack needs bolstering. Although Kylie has had a good season it was wrong to give him another year.

Ambler can be let go as surplus to requirements.

I agree with your "outs" but think we can't fill all the positions with youngsters. We are world champions and I want us to remain at the top. We need 2/3 quality, experienced signings and hopefully Gary is going to deliver?
