Leeds look really vulnerable unless you can bring in a decent half back. Whoever decided to spend marquee money on a back rower and a centre want sacking (unless they already have been). They need to be pivotal players only imo. 1, 6, 7 or 9 are the only positions I'd look

Some mistakes made no doubt

I agree and disagree with that. Top successful teams have often had the best centre in the league in their team not necessarily the best half backs hooker or full back. Senior newlove lyons gleeson connoly etc that's ko coincidense imo

If Leeds were adding hurell to an already established top 4 side then he would make a huge impact in the side as it us you cannot polish a turd with few good players which they have tried to do.


Up until now I've always thought na Leeds won't go down but with every London n Hull kr result it becomes more if a possibility.

The fact of the matter is you have 2 teams who are way in front of the rest then all the rest can beat each other on any given day but i don't say that in a good way i mean all 10 of those teams can stink the house out for a lot of the season so it does not take a great deal to beat them if you are anything like on the day.

Hull FC will likely finish 3rd for example and lets be honest they are garbage and not even anywhere near the side they were when they won back to back CC's, that side should really be down where we are but because the quality is so bad they are in the mix.

I think its fair to say that there is one team who are streets in front, a bit like they were last year and look how that turned out for them.

You then have another team who have blown hot but more recently are starting to blow cold a bit more frequently then they would like (both home and away).

3rd, the team you label as garbage. A team who when they blow cold, admittedly, blow at absolute zero. But they are also a team who have a 79% win rate away from home and put your sorry lot away within then space of 20 first half minutes earlier this season.

I think you should concentrate on your own teams deficiencies before you start worrying about others.

Well yes, if your spine is already top quality then bring in a world class centre but for me the number of games a centre is likely to win on his own without quality around him are few and far between so your money needs to be spent where it is likely to make the best impact

Not really.

I find the level's of disrespect dished out to professional sportsman by keyboard warriors a little annoying though

I appreciate thinking another clubs short comings can take your mind off the abyss which is your own club at times. But given that Leeds fancied a crack at the middle eights a couple of times and are pinning their hopes on someone who clearly rubs others up the wrong way its hardly a surprise that they are in the predicament they are.

But you carry on thinking worrying about other clubs, it must be comforting for you.

No but you didn’t answer why he should worry about his own club over any other.

What difference does it make?
