Whoever said we should sign Connolly and Poching was not wrong. |

| Quote batleyrhino="batleyrhino"So is the problem the coach, the players, or both? I suspect it's a bit of both, but given the fact that any changes in contracted players would probably involve paying them off and that would count on the cap, I guess we won't be seeing many changes in playing staff mid season. That leaves us with trying to get the most out of what we have (until the end of the year when there will be a whole host of players moving on I suspect) and begs the question "do we (or GH) believe that the current coaching team can achieve our potential this year?"
=#FF0000We will find out the answer over Easter I think.'"
I don't think we will find out over Easter.
Why?
Because Leeds fixtures over Easter are against Bradford and Crusaders... two teams whose recent performances have been even more lamentable.
If Leeds are still saving their worst performance of the season for later, I doubt it would equate to them getting mullered 56-16 by Salford. |

So the revenue from customers drops, profitability drops what happens? regime change it happens RL is not immune - how did GH end up being at Leeds in the first place? |

GH ended up at Leeds because he and Paul Caddick bought the club. If as you say the revenue and profitability drops and the club is put up for sale (which I think we are a million miles from) then the only people who have a say in who the new CEO is are those willing to buy it as I said.

I watched the Bulls v Salford yesterday and the Bulls were terrible once they realised they were not going to win. For the first 10 minutes of each half they were ok (not good), showed some shape in both defence and attack, but then switched off completely to let Salford run away with it. If they can put in a performance lasting 25 minutes per half instead of just 10, then I can see them potentially beating Leeds. The Bulls problem was lack of effort, whereas Leeds problem is complete lack of structure. I know which is easier to fix... |

I'm really hoping that we don't get subjected to another poor performance from Leeds this season like we did on Friday and we are already at our lowest ebb. |

Good thing it is Bradford then we're playing based on their performance against Salford. Surely we can't be as bad as that lot ?
Problem is I bet Potter won't be relying on fiddling with a rubber glove to inspire his players on to greater efforts.  |

| Quote DHM="DHM"This is the bit that's hard for some to accept. You can't stay out infront all the time with the salary cap in place - it's impossible. Saints are the nearest comparrison to us , but it's easy to forget they haven't won the title since 2006, and won nothing for 2 years. It's now a question of "do we trust the guy in charge to realise what needs doing, and to then go ahead and do it right"?
We may have to take this season like a kick in the nuts and live with it.'"
This is the sort of response that I have always said is just sticking the head in the sand.
These things do not have to be cyclical at all. There is a huge difference between winning trophy's (and there is only 3 a year on offer and generally 2 go to the same team), and actually challenging. Where Leeds are now is not challenging. Whether they would have continued winning trophy's or not is irrelevant, but we should have still strengthened from a position of strength, to ensure we were still giving ourselves an opportunity to win those trophy's. |
