Someone just pointed out on sporting life that Bluey is quoted as saying that he hopes other clubs have injuries. Is this the right atitude from a professional, wishing, hopefully injury to players.

Get a link and we will all come on and join you in slagging Leeds off. Until then i will keep my powder dry.

BUT Leeds are not the only team with injuries Quins and Ctalans are worse than they are.
Giants have had a minimum of 5 first teamers out all season

Saints have had injury problems

so what is the difference with Leeds.

After all it was Bluey who signed a fat overweight Kiwi who is an accident waiting to happen. If i was as fat as Eastwood and i fell over i would break my wrist as well.

It's a bit harsh to criticise... the important sentence from the URL above is "It's part and parcel of the season and other clubs will go through this too hopefully"

If the 'hopefully' wasn't there then it is a fair assessment of a hard season in a hard sport! I'm pretty sure he s referring to things evening out over the year rather than wishing injury on professional sportsmen

Yeh I'm sure this was taken out of context.......[uhopefully[/u!

Same old Whinos, I am sure he meant this as everyone who is involved with Leeds now think they are not alowed to have the start they have - its their divine right to suceed

4 losses already! The Super League minor premiers usually end up with 4-8 losses over the full season. So unless Leeds have a very very good last 20 games (which, with the injuries they have, I reckon they'll struggle with the next five games!) then I think Leeds are too far behind the pack to come top this year.

Next five games: Wigan (A), Bradford (H), Catalans (A), Hull FC (H), St Helens (A).

[uAt least[/u another two losses there IMO.

They'll be there or there abouts come GF time though. It's about time Leeds had a bit of bad luck with injuries though. They seem to come through most years untouched!

Totally agree to the above, I would imagine if Wigan beat Leeds next week then they will struggle to catch up to the Wigoons as far as the table goes.

Leeds: Ablett, Bailey, Buderus, Donald, Eastwood, Hall, Sinfield, Watkins, and after yesterday, maybe Peacock.

Catalans: Greenshields, Bosc, Baile.

I highly doubt that thats worse.

Mogg, walker?

Not to be on the "we all hate Leeds" bandwaggon thats rolling here take a look at the link here. Anyone with any braincells can see that he says it in jest. www.therhinos.co.uk/news/10484.php But i suppose that wont fit with your rantings?

Yes but as all Leeds players are supermen their injury crisis worse than other teams who have players injured.

the fact that they have probably the largest squad in SL the best academy etc is irrelevant.

We should all be feeling sorry for Leeds. remember they are not used to losing especially to teams they would normally walk all over. So stop using facts and give them some sympathy. Those poor Leeds fans are going through such a difficult time.

How would you feel if you thought your team might not win the Grand final.

Leeds: Ablett, Bailey, Buderus, Donald, Eastwood, Hall, Sinfield, Watkins.
Giants: Hodgo, Mason, Lawrence, Kirmond, Drew, Finnegan, Whatuira, Lolesi.

Thank you or putting it in perspective for me mate, i didnt realise how much the poor loiners were suffering, bless there little cotton socks.

Wells says 8 Quins first team players injured (inc himself who has retired due to injury).

Looks like Brett & Lolesi is back for us.

Just noticed on the Leeds Forum since Bluey's injury statement, voting under way, currently in favour of ousting the coach.

None of this would have happened if they'd kept Richie Spedding.

Rubbish. It was set up by a Widnes fan and not one genuine Leeds fan wants Bluey sacked, but then again the respectability of forums like this has long gone, with so many childish people just trying to get one over each other.

By the way, no one at leeds thinks its their right to win or are blaiming injuries.

We just know that come the business end, we have the players that can win the GF again from any of the top 8 positions. Its not impossible - just look how close Catalan came last season

Are you assuming Leeds will make the 8? And/or are you accepting that is a realistic aim of Leeds this year?

Ahhh diddums to leeds.......injuries are part and parcel of the game...we have been wracked with injuries for 2008 and 2009 but was that mentioned...was it ball$...we got on with it and our league posistion showed....they will be there or there abouts at the end of season.

Poor form, the guy has no class!

Is it beyond the comprehension of many that the comment was tongue in cheek?
