Not sure what to think about this are you saying the club as a whole have just written this year off out of cup next to no chance of league gf and its ok just a shrug of shoulders and hope we do abit better next year?

it's not just next game though is it? look at the shambles that was pre season and the season to date. it's never about one game

The club and board will be more bothered about revenue, if they are still generating enough and executive stuff doing well I don’t think they’re that bothered, no. As a fan we accept that and keep hoping, or find something else to do with our time. Leeds are a big Corporate enterprise now, and that’s the reality…..

wouldn't they earn more if the proton the pitch was good and we were successful?

This is absurd and so far from reality it's hard to know where to start.

oh just bring another shirt out ! its about the only info. we get from the club really

I don't think k anything is written off, I just think that they may have a longer term plan. Isn't that what we have been asking for for the last 5 - 8 years?
Stop panicking and stick to a plan. I'd love to know what the plan is and how it will be manifested but I doubt they are going to tell us the fans or the opposition who, how and when.
Have they taken their eye off the playing side while stadium redevelopment has been done, maybe and tbh not unusual scenario in sport. Trust that one of the best and biggest clubs in the game will get it right moving forward. Blind faith and hope has kept me a supporter for the last 50 years or so and it's not going to change now

long term plans are fine as long as everything falls into place. do you persist when its falling apart, players are going backwards, rumours rife of player discontent and performances are a joke?

Is there really dressing room divisions or is that the rumour mill working overtime.
2 pooor games is a slump, not enough for a sacking of the coach. No we haven't played well this year but we are still close to 50%, that might not get any better this year. Like everyone else I want to be entertained when I go to the games and even better get the win. it has been in short supply this year but there have been flashes of what we can do

2 halves? a little more? it's been rubbish and the entertainment has been in very short supply. it's not 2 games, it's the vast majority of the season

A buissness is only as good as its product.

I think so, but clearly other income revenues when you own a stadium and brand like that….

Mike Stevo Stevenston has put the boot in to Rohan as he says to spice things up!

Not much in that interview tbf just Stevo doing what hes paid to which is chat his opinion and we all know what that opinion is worth.

That being said he does speak some sense in that piece, the relegation claim is I think a bit far fetched but he's not saying anything controversial that people haven't raised on here.

Justin Holbrook has been sacked by Gold Coast Titans and with immediate effect https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/news-2023- ... 1214bcb106 Let the speculation begin

that's the calibre of coach we should go for. not one from poundland

Yes would love him at Leeds. I’d imagine he’ll stay in NRL however

Yeh, would definitely take Holbrook.
But expect a merry go round in the NRL.

Should be at Least sounding him out.

Only if Smith is not seen as the long-term solution by Hetherington, which I think Hetherington still thinks he is.

Regardless, Holbrook's been treated really shabbily by the Titans. Their CEO claiming they're not progressing is such a lie - they are a far more credible club than when Holbrook took over. Turning the drug-fuelled party boys into a serious team was always going to take a long time, and I'd say they had turned the corner. They obviously wanted Hasler once he made himself available, but I think its shabby as hell.

Yeah he's done a good job there imo has Holbrook. Leeds should most definitely be sounding him out just on the basis that it potentially doesn't work for Rohan. You can't let a quality coach sail by like that.

Simple solution Gary - get rid of our " out of his depth " trainee coach , and bring in the Master - Uncle Tony.

You really meant that comment Boots!

Looks like Holbrook could be back at Saints soon....

which goes to show the coach is the most important appointment in the club. Tony Smith has turned around a hull side that was worse than ours.
Wellans is struggling at saints as he hasn't the quality of his predecessor.
as for us

Posted this in another thread but on second thought it feels more appropriate here.

Kind of feels like Leeds is turning into a big corparate money machine. Can't remember the last time Garry got us a star player or big coach that impressed people. My opinion on the reason why is that all he cares about is money and not about the rugby team on the pitch, every single week it feels like we release a new merch line that people buy, we average the highest home attendance in super league consistently, really sponsor friendly atm with ooohhh look at us we have a womens team, disabled team, netball team ect. what an inclusive and family friendly club. We clearly have a good cash inflow, GH is filling his pockets quite nicely as he runs the club well off the pitch and is able to make money regardless of poop performances. If he has lost passion or enjoyment for the game ( not a stretch at all for someone 68/69 who has been involved in rugby for so long ) then why should he invest in the team if supporters still buy tickets, merch and food/drink. We arent bad enough to get relegated either.

This idea is of course all speculation from myself but to be honest it has become a genuine concern for me recently with how the club is being run. Ownership genuinely seems not to care that we are average and I fear us turning into another Hull FC, fairly big club that sits in mid table and does nothing.
