And who was responding, reasonably, to bad defeats to Quins and Salford with this.

So come on, put your money where your mouth is and remind us of what you've been saying this season. Or would you like HHT or myself to do it?

| Hey Gareth. This chap knows his stuff too.
Quote ="Head High Tackle"ATEOTD we aint playing particularly well at the moment but it is April FFS. McClennan has a fair bit of work to do to get us ticking over again but there is plenty of time. To use a cliche, its a marathon not a sprint.
If McClennan can get us top of the pile and win the GF he'll already have done better than Smith in his first two years IMO (what does it really matter though, both have done very good jobs). If he doesnt win the GF then he will still be behind Smith and if we finish trophyless questions need to be asked.
However,I personally think we'll come out of this little slump and go on to win SL again and McClennan will turn out in the long term to be one of Leeds best ever coaches.
As Gareth says I never disliked Mcclenan, I simply wanted him to be judged the same as Smith was.'"
Salt of the earth, dyed in the wool.

It's always the same. Billy appears, Richie disappears. Richie appears, Billy then disappears.
It's no coincidence.

He who shall not be named had a much more valid contribution to make to this site than 75% of those who currently post on it.
I'd rather read his stuff than the inane chat about who frosties is stalking or Damo's latest mental breakdown or which band Loz thinks are trendy right now. At least it was rugby related.
And I am not attempting humour. I am being deadly serious. Year after year these same idiots post the same bile only to be shown by seasons end what idiots they are.
I know you think there's no validity in reminding everyone what they put but I do and last time I checked you weren't a moderator so you have two choices......

If only it were that simple. Reading through threads on here is like panning for gold. You've got to sift through a hell of a lot of sludge before you find the occasional nugget of wisdom.

| Quote ="G1"Feel free to provide links.
Let me summarise the position I have constantly taken throughout this season, as has been evidenced by historical links produced.
I expressed concern about discipline, I expressed support for the Board, the players and the coach, I expressed hope and belief that Mclennan would get us a title and I predicted a title much, much earlier than anyone else and I did it when things were bad, and not on the crest of a wave. I qualified that prediction by saying we would win the GF again if we sorted our discipline.
IIRC fanstanningley replied that I was making a big call. I was. I was right.
How about YOU? Do you want the opportunity to fess up what you posted throughout the season or shall we have a look at some links.?'"
LINKS? You overestimate my interest in your po faced ramblings!
As I recall, all those points were addressed by many on here, including myself, at various points of the season, most notably our seemingly endless list of avoidable penalty offences.
A concern was expressed during our run of loses regarding our squad depth and recruitment policy, all again debated on here, and acknowledged by our CEO
During those weeks as I recall, I formed an impression that your good self was less than happy that we were allowing Bluey to much lattitude regarding tactics, discipline etc., and continued to witter on about the previous incumbent.
Indeed, I recall something along the lines that Bluey would only achieve success by hanging on the coat tails of the present squad. To then turn around at the end of the season and claim (and here I include the gormless Danny, as in truth you have to be treated as a single entity )to be an ardent and long term supporter of Bluey would appear more than a tad ingenous.
Whilst I'd totally agree with your hopes for the club, your continuing need to be the font of all knowledge, and arrogant contempt for any alternative viewpoint is more than a little trying at times.
Sadly, you're always going to be associated with Danny and his whimsical nonsense. I'd suggest distancing yourself, but that would involve a major operation at the LGI, and funding for a couple of extra colorectal surgeons is not likely!

I don't read any of them.
I've found through practice that you just have to ban random users every now and again to keep the rest in line.

Spot on!!!
Gareth makes numerous points of quality debate that you either agree or disagree with but his post deserve reading. Gareth is an ardent supporter of Smith and feels - if his posts are an accurate indication of his views - McClennan is a poor man's Smith.
A tangable example of his views; During the year when he kicking off regarding McClennan I suggested a charity bet that Leeds would reach the GF - he declined suggesting Leeds would make the GF due to the having spent four years under Smith and McClennan's RA RA motivational techniques would do the rest!!
Danny on the other hand posts simply to niggle - hence all the previous old threads coming out - when his own frailties are exposed one of two things will happen - a name change or no more contribution to a thread!!!

If only you were so forthcoming on the thread you made a tw@ of yourself on.
As for the name changes, I do it because I get bored of that name, I dont do it to save face because I've been said someone was 'putting on' cancer. I dont try to hide that I've changed the name either. Go figure.
I've highlighted your frailties, now highlight mine or kindly, and with respect STFU.
Best not hold my breath eh!
