People have to remember pointing the finger of blame is a revolving door, > Its the Coach,. Its Gary Heth,Its Bleazie, Its the coach. Ad infinitum.
The Salient points are in a salary cap sport in a league of 12 you are entitled to finish =6th,
I would say this year, with London's situation and Castleford clearly making no attempt to be competitive, we were looking at 5th. Finishing 8th was sub standard. but it was the club's fault it was sub standard not individuals.
The Rhinos haven't really being competitive for 10 years. The likes of Leigh, Salford & KR have benefitted from the cap. This realistically was what it was designed to do.

That is true to a point, but Leeds can afford to exploit marquee rules to the limit, which makes a big difference. We should also be able to spend far more on junior development than most clubs, and could many other clubs afford the transfer fees paid for Croft and Ackers? I doubt it.

The signings and choice of coach have just been awful for years. Get those things right and we'd have stayed up near the top. We didn't, and the result is where we're at.

We could never outrun just how many terrible decisions GH was making at every level in regard to the squad + coach. It literally became impossible to ever move forward.

I don't know if Blease is the man to move us forward, but if he fails, I hope fans don't adopt the bizarre logic that GH stepping down was wrong. It should have happened years ago.

But I'm desperate for some signing news.

Blease, Blease tell me now. Is there something I should know?

Might Mom be thinking “Blease release me, let me go…”?

Last 10 years 2 SL titles 3 CC 1 Ll 1 GF runner up
Yeah not competed at all.

Last 4-5 years under performed but lets not exaggerate only 2 clubs achieved more in last 10 tears.

We will get back up there.

Think yesterday’s press release was timely as I’m sure the club are well aware of our fans frustration at the 2024 season and want to reassure that things are happening.

Peter Smith’s article alludes to more contracted players leaving which is a common theme on here. He clearly knows a lot more than he has posted.

To be honest I’m not arsed when they announce signings, just need to be certain they do.

Sorry, can’t get Blease in this but “need a little patience!”

Born in Leeds Dad from Leeds he is most definitely not from featherstone get your facts right before spouting complete nonsense.

The normal hogwash. James Harrison, was a Featherstone player when he played a couple of games for Leeds at a time when Championship clubs weren't even playing fixtures. He returned to them at the end of the 2020 season. You've suggested that Rohan Smith, who didn't join the club for another 18 months, rejected him because he was too tall. Why not have the grace to admit you were very wrong and move on?

Never mentioned where he played you said he's not from Leeds he is, you don't like it because I'm right and you know it.
