Excellent, excellent news.

It's easy to forget Ryan is still only 23!!

Looks like the days of us having 4/5/6 players away for international duty will be coming around again over the next 3 or 4 years!

A great step in securing the future of the club, however, I thought Rogues said we didn't have any quality youngsters? hmmmmmmm

I think because Amor & Coady have turned out to be a bit duff (so far!!!!!!!) that means we have "no quality youngsters".

Forget Clarkson, Hall, BJB, Watkins, Pitts, Ambler, McShane, Hood, Hardaker, Kettlewell and the like, they don't count!

No no no, they're garbage all of them! Rogues said so himself, Leeds are in decline therefore have no quality youngsters and no future, whereas wigan have an endless supply of world class talent.......

Just as long as we're all clear then!! Thanks for the tip... I'll make this my last season ticket.




On a serious note...

Clarkson (assuming he's ends up in his preferred LF role!) has some seriously big shoes to fill! I wonder if now is the time to be letting him Loose (pun intended!) on the role? Sinfield is still on the pitch at 6 for inspiration. I'd like to take advantage of McGuire being out and try and develop Clarkson as our future LF. Instead of playing Abblet as a 3rd Second Rower. Thoughts?

Great news!!

Well done GH and the Team

Excellent news for Rugby League Well done the Rhinos.

Some mad photo-chopping (pun intended) skills in action there.

Good news indeed and if they were to become attractive to the other code a bit of insurance.

Can anyone confirm Kallum Watkins date of birth as the 12th March 1991?

That's what I have which made him 17 on 1st grade debut rather than the 16 in the article.

Not forgetting
stewart (Leeds Rhinos)
singleton (Leeds Rhinos)
smith (Leeds Rhinos)
Ward (Leeds Rhinos)
England u18 Academy 2011 Squad

Oh and Chris Clarkson played 19 times rather than the 18 claimed.

Perhaps I should stop reading the article now.

Such an amateur approach lets the club down IMO especially when it's the amateurs that have to hold it to account.

__________

Still good news though.

I wouldnt called sign up fantastic four, more like "rhinos renew contract of fantastic four"

It is to be hoped that all members of the 'FANTASTIC FOUR' hang around at the club longer than last year's 'MAGNIFICENT SEVEN'.

Regards,
Scott Donald and Matt Diskin.

Where's your stats thread??

Club can't help it if those two guys want to retire from competitive sport.

Lovely stuff.

One is policing the thin blue line, the other one will be stood behind the thin white line for most of the season.

The Opta one?

Just working on it now. Was unsure whether I had time for it this season (still unsure) but I'll throw it together and post it in an hour or so. All being well that is.

Well done Leeds! Oh Tvoc your stats thread is something I and others love you must do it pal. Obviously if you can. I know it's very much appreciated

That will be a relief for some on here.

For those who can't form an opinion of their and go with the figures. Bless.

Being a Wigan fan who doesn't enjoy having a pop at every other club (except Saints, who I'm legally obliged to belittle and sneer at) I'd just like to say well done Leeds, great piece of business, good for your club and the game. Also, I support Hetherington's comments on the Weller Harauki situation and I'm glad someone has had the guts to come out and say what we all know - rugby league is not always treated fairly.

You're welcome here any time fella.

Be careful at the Bulls on Sunday... "They're back" don't cha know!

Think it would be a good idea to get clarkson the experience while there is a chance. Whoever gets the LF job after sinfield it will be difficult. Most LF play like extra back row now.

the future is bright the future is ........

Echoing Sgt Wilko, I, too, hope that you can find the time to continue your stats analysis this season.
