If we were playing free flowing rugby without two or three key pivot players then I would have to worry for the rest of super league when Burrow, Buderus and webb do come back and have a few games under their belts. We are still missing a good few players, and still picking up points.
I do think we are impatient and lack structure in attack though sometimes.
On the centre issue I feel I am banging my head against a wall of feckwittedness.
3 titles in 5 years built from a squad of home grown players. So large proportions of people on here still want to go out and buy a new centre, with very few suggestions as to who would fit the bill.
The team is good enough to carry a youngster or two. If they make mistakes then over the course of the season we can deal with that. we may lose the odd try or game through mistakes, but from what I have seen of watkins, we have one hell of a player on our hands. Lets develop him. If it causes us problems we have Gibson to fill in, and smith and ABlett. And we may end up without a trophy, but who is to say we would win it anyway. We could sign a Lyon, or someone similar, and he could snap his cruciates in his first game, and we're back at square one, with a massive hole in our salary cap.

You're right. I am sorry.
I should try and be a bigger man.(go on Soprano, you know you want to. Make a joke) I will try harder next time.

You sir have renewed my faith that we have amongst us one or two knowledgeable posters.
Well said. Spot on.

Look I do agree with most of what your saying - your post with regards to the losses from the squad i do agree with - all I said was in my opinion we are a tad short at present. I didn't think I deserved to be called a fekkin moron for saying that - thought it was a bit harsh mate.
I'm a very proud Leeds supporter and have been for over 25 years. I am proud of what we have achieved and the young talent we bring through into the game which a lot of clubs not just Leeds have benefitted from. Long may it continue - I was never knocking this.

And don't go booking tickets for the Saints cup match if it is on the saturday.
Shame it wasn't at Saints, we could've done both.

I can be harsh and impatient on here. I tend to assume people share my sensibilities, ie none.
I appreciate I can sometimes be overly aggressive but its' frustrating when you constantly have to communicate with people far, far less knowledgeable than you
I will try harder.
