Actually Marty, having known both players since young, and seen both develop, I can contradict that. Corey is every bit as quick, and indeed unlike Clark actually has played wing a few times because of it.

The problem of course is no matter how promising our juniors are we seem incapable of improving them once they hit their late teens

That’s rubbish. We had that problem under McDermott, not under any other coach. McDermott is gone, you will see us back to normal.

Just a word on how Leeds have handled this - what's on our website is a crib of the Toronto announcement. No comment from anyone at Leeds, no thank you for your effort. This is a Grand Final winning player who we have effectively forced to leave mid-contract. Not even acknowledging his efforts is more than shoddy and unprofessional, it's out of order.

So its not Rubbish Gotcha , it has been a case for a few years , what you are saying is it is going to change . I hope you are correct

The rubbish but was saying we are incapable. We are capable, just not under one man.

For goodness sake man i am not arguing , i just pointed out the last few years our younger players have not improved whether it be one mans fault or not

Neither am I arguing. I am telling you, you were wrong to say we are incapable, which is what you really said. Had you said the above, I wouldn’t have commented, as we all know that and why.

Your both arguing about not arguing. Classic Southstander.

Can't we have one thread that doesn't end in a McDonut argument ffs. He's not at Leeds anymore.

I agree with some on here that mullally was far from our worst player last season and on a certain level I would have been happy enough if he had been retained.

That said, we need to clear a number of players out to create cap space for 1 or 2 better quality players. If an offer acceptable to all parties has come in for mullally over other players such as cuthbo (if rumours are believed that he is on the list of players who can leave) then the club has to do what it thinks is right.

If we can free up enough space for a decent prop now and then with the likes of cuthbo and parcel off contract at the end of the year we should free up space for another prop or winger.

Shame for mullally but right call by the club.

Why disrespect "McDonut" . Like him or not, he's the most successful coach in the clubs' history and should be shown respect.

Seems strange that the club haven't commented on this, and thanked him for his contribution.

Probably just the timing. Usually it's the destination club that announces a signing and I don't think TWP did so until Friday evening. With it being the weekend, I suspect it'll be Monday before the usual suspects can be rounded up to give a statement on behalf of Leeds for release to the press over here.

Anyway GH & KS might be deep in talks with his replacement...

Yep does seem an odd one, Mullally always seemed well thought of in terms of attitude so strange not to say much from the club.

It's not strange, it's very poor from a club which even until very recently used to claim it always "did the right thing". People made excuses for the way Garbutt was treated. There is nothing in Anthony Mullally that has caused anyone any at the club any offence - other than perhaps him expressing his distaste, in his quite polite way, for being told he was being released mid contract and would never play for the club again.

Not going through the basic formalities of acknowledging what he has done for the club is appalling.

Boo hoo he was given a chance in pre-season just like everyone else & hasn't cut it.
He's gone so what's the big deal?
He's hardly a Club Legend bog standard players like him come & go its hardly disrespectful that they have'nt thrown him a leaving party & given him a big send off.

I know what you mean, I was just a bit surprised there wasn’t something from the club really. We usually have done even for squad players.

Nobody has asked for a party, just an acknowledgement that a player, gf winner, has left. It's standard and entirely the correct thing to do. I'm sure the club will acknowledge him next week as they should.

I for one wish him luck and believe he will do a good job for Toronto.

Not sure why people are saying that the club hasn't acknowledged that he's left.

I never said they didn’t acknowledge it, but there's been no comments from Furner or Sinfield about it.

Correct. It's not much to ask, especially in a week when they have gone out of their way to celebrate the retirements of players who had already left the club.

Both of which had a 1000x more impact in a Leeds shirt a ridiculous comparison.

People aren't saying he should get a ticker tape parade, but surely they could have mustered a quote attributed to (we all know they never actually say these things) GH or Sir Kev along the lines of 'GF winner, always put in 100%, grateful for his effort and commitment, wish him well'. This post has only taken me 1 minute, sure they had sufficient advanced warning to spare him 5.

I honestly see no issue with it there's also no statement from Mullally either thanking the Club.
