Reading some of the Whinos fans' comments on the BBC RL site, they could have borrowed the script from this forum.

The big difference is Hetherington will wield the axe and splash the cash something that is alien to us . But honestly it will take them years to be that dominant force they were in the era of McGuire and co and that’s a huge task in itself

I'm not sure we are in any position to poke fun at another club.
Especially a grade A club that can just decide to buy a new team when it's not working.

If I’m not out of date with my knowledge, Leeds have a self imposed wages limit and won’t sign anyone on a contract that breaks it. That was certainly the case a few years ago during their Grand Final winning days.

To buy a new team to get themselves back as regulars in the top 4 they’d have to abandon that policy and really splash the cash. Unfortunately even if they do that they still won’t be able to compete for the best NRL players and would have to pay transfer fees for the best home grown players. That won’t happen because, quite admirably, Leeds are aiming to stay self sufficient as a club and a business which means no sugar daddy money, so again that would mean a drastic change in policy.

If they get lucky and unearth half a team full of Academy players like Burrow, McGuire, Sinfield, Hall, Calderwood, JJB, Ablett, Diskin, Watkins, Mathers, Bailey & Co they just might surge back up the league. They don’t have Dean Bell anymore, he was the man who set up the youth system that built their best ever team and who also went to St Helens and was equally as successful. Without someone like him they have zero chance of building another Champion team full of Academy lads.

We are quite literally the worst club in the league this season by a long margin and have been nilled more times than any other super league club ever.

Every club gets the occasional thrashing, but even in one of their worst seasons in recent years, they've still won 7 more games than us. It's not really a comparison






Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
