One particular poster on this forum will have that link bookmarked already!



2017 excuses so far...

1) Segeyaro - BOOOOOOO!
2) 'Unique' training gear, balls and bibs nicked.

Let's not forget the excuses if we do well (just pretty much copy + paste 2015's excuses for success.

- we weren't good, everyone else just went backwards
- other teams were hit worst with injuries
- we didn't have to play in the WCC unlike other teams
- we had the easiest cup draw ever
- we had a lucky bounce of the ball
- the players did it for retiring legends (replace Sinfield, Peacock & Leuluai for McGuire, Burrow, JJB)

I wonder which of the 'unique' bibs featuring the Rhinos logo, produced by Centurion no less, will disrupt Leeds pre-season the most?

Yellow?
Red?
Green?
Orange?
Pink?
Blue?

I'll go for pink.

South Stand Redevelopment Delayed - We were obviously expecting to play in front of smaller crowds!!!

That's middle 8's confirmed then.

Fear not old feller.
Last night I was speaking to a reliable source within the club (I cannot name them for fear of reprisals from on high).
They advised that the loss of the gear has already been overcome and will not be used as an excuse. McD requested budget be made available for replacement tackle shields. This was turned down by GH who offered
An alternative of using Galloway as a tackle bag " with or without a ruptured Achilles he has similar mobility and is future proofed".
What do you mean future proofed? asked our bewildered coach
"Well, unlike transit vans and segeyaro nobody is going to try and nick him".

Time to scan eBay for a bargain for our U14's.

Pretty much the full spectrum of excuses.

If they were made especially for last seasons away games, presumably they fold easily?

The loss of the 'unique' made to order tackle shields is a bigger blow then the flooding of the wrestle dungeon last year.

Watkins and Hall having virtually no pre season with us (return after Xmas and then 3 weeks in Dubai with Eng squad) will no doubt be used countless times as an excuse for a lack of cohesion in the backs.

I want to know why nobody in the Leeds camp before last season started thought of watching Rocky IV.

They watched Titanic instead

Did it flood that badly?

The crew of the Titanic coped with their flooding far better than Leeds Rhinos did with theirs

Noah got it right..

Can't understand why Hall & Watkins are with England sqaud must have needed a freebee holiday in Dubai

Because they are England players maybe?

You could level that at every player at the camp.

Storm Barbara is on it's way.

Let us all pray that Kirkstall survives what could be another turbulent episode

Explain how a player aka Hall can be out most of last season injured done sweet FA and still be picked for England doesn't say a lot for young English winger's

What wingers would you have picked that HAVEN'T been injured?

Hall, when fit was as good as he ever has been this year IMO. He was also lucky Manfredi was injured.

Hall had a good tournament and as such his selection was justified.
