No guarantees that's why it's sport and not sports entertainment.

How do you define "at the moment"? Does "the moment" include the other Friday when that dominant catalan pack visited Headingley?

At the moment (for me) is since that visit to Headingley where they have won their last three games at the same time as Leeds have lost theirs.

The Catalan pack was particularly impressive V Wigan after a slowish start where Ryles and Ferriol were pretty awesome.

I agree but that's the very same pack that was destroyed by our out of sort's and "lightweight" pack in 2nd gear.
It prove's that form is temporary!

I see.

Luckily then if its' a 3 game period our pack can do like it has done in the playoffs the last two years and all this hand wringing will have been unnecessary.

I got slaughtered for suggesting this last year but i'll try again.


Ryan Atkins anyone???

I would rather sign Shenton

and Joe Westerman presumably???

It's not forced to be limited to a three game spell at all, it could just be the start as could Leeds' forward slump.

We're all hoping so I'm sure, I don't think we can do it unless we add to the squad, I'll more than happily eat my words if wrong though. Until then I'm going to look at ways I think we can improve.

Not for me mate, don't rate him. He's Chev Walker without the size IMO. Shenton is a far, far better player.

Obviously not at Cas on Friday night then?

It's not a bad call. From what I've seen he's had a cracking start to the season. Maybe some of the Shakie Wakie lot could clarify this? Last year, my issue with him, was that he wasn't producing the top stuff on a regular basis, he was hit and miss. But so far this year, he looks the piece and is looking deadly will ball in hand, and showing neat footwork near the try line.

When he strings it together week on week against the good sides in the competition then maybe I'll take notice - inconsistent and flaky player who is brilliant when he's hot but embarrassing when he isn't.

take some players out of the leeds side and put them in a cas shirt and they won't look as good as they do in this set up.

Can they look any worse than last Monday?

Im sure if they got a few bumps and bruises they would look a lot worse FWIW

Suprisingly not mate. I've seen Atkins turn in some real good performances in the past, I'm afraid I just don't rate him.

When was the last time we lost both Easter Fixtures ?????

Second bottom post, unless anyone knows any different.

Still beefing for the checkbook to be used?

I said you were clueless then and recent results have just re-affirmed that assesment.

The problem is that some fans think because we are champions for the last two years we should be winning convincingly every week. It seems we should be giving a good performance rather than just winning games, or god forbid losing them.

The results over Easter were not good but if we win SL again this year then it will be forgotten, or at least should be. I read posts on here from people complaining about mid season results even when we've gone onto win the title in previous years and those people beggar belief.

To answer your first point,yes I still wouldn't mind a couple of decent signings.


And secondly calling me clueless is absolutely your choice but 'd say dredging up a 3 month old thread just to have a snipe just plain SAD.

I think reading between the lines people would like the club to bring in some form of a marque player. I think sometimes this comes from jealousy of other clubs bringing in big name acts. For me as long as we have cover do we need to sign players on? Also do we need marque players or people who will do the job that is required? Look at the signing of Poaching. A lot questioned it but he did the job that was required. However, if we were to get s Burgess from down the road I don't think I'd moan

Oh my, what overwhelming "support" our great fans show.

Well, some of us do anyway.
