I don't think anyone is saying its good stand alone? Its more about freeing up a quota spot isn't it?

Unless someone is coming in now it's the most stupid deal ever. If not wait till the end of the season and don't swap a good young fit player for a old injured one with your relegation rivals. It beggars belief.

Then it'd be better to wait and see than condemn it today wouldn't it?

I don't recall anyone suggesting that Parcell was a bad influence in the squad until today?
Strange that.

That's not quite true. It was actually reported a few weeks back when the rumours came out. I have to say, he never comes across like that in anyway, but is there really no smoke without fire? the rumours say completely different to how it comes across.

His view of his own ability is higher than the view of the coaches at Leeds I think, that's never a good recipe.
Personally I'd say we just have to back the club in what it's doing at the moment, they know how the players are interacting and behaving, what their "extra-curriculars" might be and they know the kind of culture they want to find.
Let them make the calls and then judge them on the results.

You was right getting rid of Keinhorst but Garbutt is 100% one of the best in the league in his position when on the field. Rovers hope to have sorted his troublesome knee as he had a mid season op on it and has just returned from that.

As for Lunt/Parcell, let’s hope it works out well for both as both sets of fans and clubs know what the respective players can do at their best.

I think we just lost faith in Garbutt's long-term fitness, and again he's a valuable overseas quota spot. No argument that he's one of the best props in SL when fit.

If Garbutt was still here and ge had just been out with a knee injury there would be cries to get rid

I don’t think there would.
Not if he had played in 3/4 of this seasons fixtures winning several mom awards. That is his record at HKR this season. Very few forwards play a full season without any problems. Ask Peteru, Crosby, Ablett, JJB and Ward to name a few.

On a purely playing basis I'd have kept him, but I don't see how he trains or what his conditioners think etc. Anyone who can poleaxe James Tamou gets my vote.

So by your reckoning Sinfield gets all the praise for Ava Hurrell & Merrin but its not his fault he signed a load of has beens & average sh#* as well?
Quick ?? Im reading this as you definately know what salary the squad are on then because you state Parcell as s big earner?
Yes i can blame KS re-sick note has beens Ablett had retired because his hip is shot Jjb hasnt completed a season in 4yrs & Crosby was signed & played with injury issues it was a no brainer.

He looked a different player tonight, Parcell. Dangerous, scheming, energetic.

Interesting quote from him in his interview, something about McGuire telling him where he needed to go and what to do - that’s exactly what we’re missing and have been for 2 years

Parcell >> Lunt
Garbutt >>Crosby
T.Smith>>Agar

This . ! Cant argue with that fair comment

Crazy to let Parcell go to KR. They will be easily safe now.

If tony smith wanted to come back into the game why didn't leeds bring him back for the rest of this season instead of appointing agar?

Indeed... hes by a million miles better than Agar.

They’re not easily anything, not sure why everyone is getting overly giddy over one win from them

Actually we've beaten both Warrington and Hull now in the last 3 weeks.

If you can't beat the omnishambles of Catalans I think you're screwed.

Thanks for Parcell by the way, you'll quickly find Lunt is crocked and Lui is ordinary without Hastings.

Parcell will probably go much better for KR than us. Not sure why that would surprise anyone, and it would be bonkers to assume that if we hadn't let him go he'd suddenly become a match-winner for us after two years of doing nothing much. Its all about the way the team plays - our lack of forward domination means we don't get him the quick PTBs that he thrives on. Lunt may work better for us than KR for exactly the opposite reason - we need a hooker who can manage sets and just pass well on the back of often slow PTBs. Lunt probably doesn't have the legs any more (if he ever really did) to take advantage of quick PTBs so wouldn't be able to take advantage of them as well as Parcell.

Tony Smith I agree with - I thought we should have gone for him from day 1. I'd also add that the club could have acted faster to make transfers - I'd bet Furner was pushing for changes before he left, and its taken another 6 league games (of which we've won just 2) to actually make a change.

And you’ve lost to London, funny you didn’t mention that one eh?

The omnishables that is Catalans are 4th in the table, you were last before tonight.

And so did you. Our loss to them was a lot narrower than yours and was a lot closer than when they've recently beaten Saints as well. Your point is?

Catalans are in a complete mess just at the moment and are off their game hence my comment earlier.

If you lose and London beat Cas then all bets are off in the relegation battle. The game at your place in a couple of weeks is looking tasty.

And if we win by a decent margin and Huddersfield lose by a decent margin then we’ll be 2 places above you

You have had a couple of good wins recently but I honestly wouldn’t be getting too giddy just yet, you’re still right in the brown stuff just like us

Oh and we lost to London by 2 points I’m not sure how you losing to them by 2 points was a lot narrower
