Behave, a few dodgy games on loan as an 18 yearold, come on, reaching a bit there mate. He was poor all round at bradford, didnt settle atall.
Iv never seen anyone question his defence in the games he's played for us in the backrow.

He'd be in for Ferres or suttcliffe for me, both need to be dropped, there as bad as each other. Ferres defence is awful, certainly isnt any better than smiths.

Leeds have said it will take time and it will but some fans can't handle that, it's tough to take I admit but we've seen it all before.

People seem to forget when the golden generation came thru they made mistakes, they missed tackles. Every youngster does. Can Smith should be in the 17 every week. If we're in rebuild mode let's rebuild. Ablett and JJB aren't going to help rebuild this team.

Furner said last night that we've missed Ablett's experience but he will learn quickly that his body can't do it anymore, same with JJB and same with Cuthbo. They've all been good servants but we should have moved on at end of last season.

I thought Furner looked ed off in the PR and i agree I thought it was an honest talk from him

What has happened to Singleton? I never saw him as a leading prop for a team with aspirations but he was never as bad as his stats this year. What kind of minutes is he getting, Furner seems to have no confidence in him?

Yeah agreed, he looked like he was furious and struggling to contain it.

He should be angry. He's got to explain why his team is garbage. Meanwhile we'll hear all the usual "working hard in training/we're hurting" crud in player interviews this week.

I seriously think that as well as too many average players we have far too many who expect someone else to do something instead of taking responsibility for themselves. Some of the missed tackles are just awful efforts that full time pros should be embarrassed by.

Trent Merrin did use the word embarrassed in his interview.

I don't understand the flak Ferres is getting. He's been dependable this season, if unspectacular. He's never looked like the world-beater he was at Huddersfield, but he looks in the best shape of the 30 year old plus forwards in our squad.

I'd sooner get rid of Singleton - poor metres per carry week-in, week-out, and has never shown that he's been able to live up to the tag of pack leader since Peacock retired. Not sure if he's any better than Mullally - he's certainly not as good as Garbutt. Cuthbertson's also a forward who seems to have been kept on two years too long.

Comparing the go-forward from the pack, it's pretty clear where the weaknesses are:

Metres per carry (carries):

Oledski - 10.33 (9)
Peteru - 8.75 (16)
Donaldson - 7.89 (9)
Merrin - 7.75 (12)
Cuthbertson - 6.71 (7)
Sutcliffe - 6.20 (10)
Ferres - 6.00 (11)
Singleton - 4.67 (6)

Sounds like his mate Lam with the training went well etc etc nonsense we are currently getting at Wigan after every defeat!!

Disagree, he wasn’t happy at all and I think or hope the players are in for a tough week

This is an interesting article from the begining of Feb, Sinfield is very clear this is a long term rebuild we are going to have to temper our expectations I think for a couple of years, this is quite hard to do as we’ve obviously been quite blesses recently with the success of the team https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/ ... -1-9577196

I reiterate, Furner is NOT the right man either now, or to bring in future generations of players, alas, I don't know who is, or who are the likeliest candidates to throw their name into the hat. I'd have Noble or Wane in a heartbeat.

Noble,ffs NEVER!
Wane,yes!

Can you give your reason for this, it seems your belief is even regardless of the last 6 games?

I’m not saying I’m convinced either way, current signs are that he’s not getting the most out of the team regardless of results, taking into account that personnel are not of the quality needed across the squad. That said, having not seen him coach I can’t have any strong opinions either way after 6 games.

Agree,six games give the guy a chance,we have too many average(at best) players.The fault lies with GH taking his eye off the ball and not replacing top class players like for like!

noble lol

Powell would be my first choice by a country mile, always has been for me. Wane would make a lot of sense for where we are right now, he's the best in the buissness at getting the young lads through, he demands and instills aggression and after learning from madge, he's the best in the british game at slowing the opposition PTB down, sumthing that has been killing us.

Not saying i want Furner out, just my opinion now the topics been brought up

I feel dirty just typing it but Wane could work wonders with this crop that's about to come through.

It's the only thing I admire about Wane. Works wonders with youth players. Any senior player injured or not pulling his weight? Fine. Time to play someone who's dying for a shot.

Someone at the press association got that wrong and the RFL, BBC Sport and Sky Sports have all published it on their websites. Pathetic especially from the RFL.

Does anyone know if Rhinos Management read this Board?

I very much doubt it. If they do however ' please clear out the rest of the dead wood and FFS get rid of Lowes too.'

If they do they quite rightly don’t take any notice otherwise Smith would have been sacked in 2006 and McDermott in 2011



Talk of getting rid of Furner is as daft as those previous suggestions on here.

Dear Christ I hope not.

i think they post on it as well as read it
