I guess my definition of "repeated seasons" was more than once

There was no "we're in the doldrums" caveat either

Medley was hardly at the end of his career he was like 23 when he was swapped with paul Dixon to Halifax. Medley never really lived up to his initial promise, powell yes we got rid a little prematurely but we had his best years, Anderson was plain crap when he played for us and he went to Halifax and did nothing there, went to Bradford on last chance saloon and new interchange rules suited his style.
Lowes was the biggest mistake, there gave been others but the vast majority we have realised have not done much. People say Gale but he was well down the pecking order and nowhere near as good as mcguire sinfield or Burrow, he has gone well at Cas but has hardly haunted us owned by Mcguire in GF.
Lowes and Bobby Goulding where the worst mistakes.

He's never been on a losing side against Leeds since he left.

Adrian Morley said tongue in cheek btw.

Lilley better than all the half backs we've used this season now MOM vs us

Yes, but you don't solve anything long term by bringing in someone who is mediocre, as we've seen multiple times in the last 3 years.

Not the best idea to tell him he's no longer required a few days before he's due to face us. What a mess.

Exactly

Shouldnt have let McGuire go. Would have been a nice partnership with Myler. Why didn't Myler play today?

Another one of Hetheringtons great ideas TAPS

Paul Cook going to Bradford then kicking the stuffing out of us at the McAlpine was another bloody shocker.

He had no choice its down to RFL rules on letting players know, the deadline was this week.

Jordan now the the hottest property in the whole of RL, every super league club and NRL club now want him, clearly Leeds have let go a once in a generation player who is so good he has been playing in stealth mode for four years waiting for this moment to unleash his full talent to the whole world, Bradford are not even offering a contract as it's futile as he will be a Wigan Warrington Melbourne or Manly next year.

Cowboys as Thurstons replacement surely????

Apart from his kicking I thought Lilley was & is bang average. Milnes was the best half on the pitch. What Lilley did have in spades though was the right attitude; completely committed.

apparently Ferres and Donaldson have been informed theyre not getting retained . is that all?

If I'm honest I'd have kept Donaldson over some of the others, at least he gives his all and rarely makes errors.

I have to agee with this. I was actually dissapointed in Lilley, consdiering I am not one who has written him off. I don't think he offered that much at all, and thought Milnes was very good. The giving Lilley MOM was just the ex Leeds thing.

I heard Ferres was offered a one year deal, but was insistent on a two year deal. I do hope the club did as you suggest and pulled away the first offer and are not retaining.

If it that's from League Express list, it just says Not Yet Determined, which means they are off contract but nothing has been decided on them.

I also though Milnes was more influential but the press choose the man of the match in cup games and it made for a good story to pick Lilley.

As for Lilley's performance I thought it was steady, he made one good assist, tackled well when needed and showed no fear. Milnes was the one who did the real damage.
