Pearson’s expectations have probably gone up, give you needs to be in the top 5 now, rather than the top 8.

Not sure why you think I know different. The point of my earlier post was to suggest that dragging up a quote from 8 years ago, in isolation, is quite meaningless. After all at some point in the future it is highly probable that Radford will leave, coaches will not last for ever, yet No doubt someone will drag up a Pearson quote about LR having a safe position.

Digging up old quotes is meaningless? You'd better not let barista know that's the case

"Steaming gap-toothed turd" was always a good one.

meaningless now he has had his teeth fixed

On the whole it is meaningless. It assumes the person being quoted is not allowed to change their mind or have a different opinion as time progresses.

Ill hold my hands up and say there were a couple of points in time (late 2015 being one of then and 55 minutes into the good friday derby in 2016) the I would have preferred a new coach to come in. The remainder of 2016 changed my mind on that. Even despite the woeful run we went on at the end of 2018 there were circumstances beyond Radfords control which 2016/7 had bought him leeway.

Of course, if that individual wants to stick by that original quote, then its fair game.

Meanwhile back to Headingley, very important game for both teams, Leeds will be desperate to take advantage of our neighbors loss, and with the squad we have selected, it’s very strong, are we looking to go all guns blazing.

An intriguing tie, can we end this alarming hoodoo, come on yu ulllaaa

how the hell do sts get away with playing an a team tomorrow.?.ive no love for rovers,but sts should be heavily fined.

No they shouldn't.
It's a squad game and they can play who they like.
They're not breaking any rules and as comfortable league leaders they can afford to do what they want.
I'm sure Hull or whoever in their shoes would do the same.
You're quite an angry man of late, Sky, Thursdays and Catalan playing on a Saturday



Anyway Leeds.
Game we should be winning, looking forward to it and think if the right Hull team turns up a game we should win comfortably.

If they were playing a full team of juniors, you might have a point. But St's have named a 19 from their squad of players. Why is this wrong? They have earned the right to rest as many players as they wish by being streets in front on the table.

On a different note, it also shows they are respecting and valuing the Challenge Cup, which is good to see. There are far too many fans who claim they are not bothered about the cup (BTW I am not pointing the finger at St here) but they are soon booking final tickets if they get there. Good to see a top club really wanting it.

Saints are not breaking any rules. They've earnt the right to rest players.

At least with the squad system everyone including their travelling supporters know what sort of a side they'll be putting out.

the game is run by idiots.

Why? Theres no obligation to field your strongest team. If we were in the same position we'd be thinking it was the right thing to do

… the Premier League had to change their rules in 2011 to allow teams to field weakened teams. Quote The Premier League has changed their rules on so-called 'weakened' teams. Top-flight clubs will now be allowed to pick any player in their 25-man matchday squad without fear of sanction from the Premier League.'" https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/14166038 Boring, I know.

feel free to support a different game, you just seem an angry individual.

On the basis of what?

And yet there is only you ranting.

Would you be happier with no televised games, no Sky money, no expansion, all games played on a Sunday, back in winter, all clubs being part time and only English men can represent England, no heritage rule unlike every major sport in the world and unlike Australia and New Zealand in RL

Don't worry though the earth is still flat



Anything about the game Sunday, or you just upset about everything this week?

Apart from stupid fixture decisions and poor commentary , sky are very good , just compare the bbc coverage as in , the cameras , absolutely awful compared to sky . It’s the rfl that need to be doing more . Would like to see the 7 tackle set expanded a bit more . Need to discourage this kicking into touch at every opportunity, 7 tackle set would do that , can understand teams doing it in the last 10 mins to see a game out , but it happens all the time , completely slowing the game down. Wigan did it after 10 mins the other night whilst leading 14 nil , it’s so boring , don’t get it

We have the perfect excuse if we win the GF they'll close it down like The European Cup, Floodlight Trophy Yorkshire Cup etc., only The CC has stood the test of us winning it and not gone to the wind.

Are you a wear that Hull FC was first team to do this put there A-team out rather than give a pay rise to the first team.

Big game, need to get the win at any cost.

Strong 17 , us by 20 , no dramas , no injuries , onwards and upwards to Bolton

Do a job on Hurrell and we should have too much for them

Gonna be close. Haven't won there in years. Leeds desperate for win. But saying that fancy us to win a close game. COYH

Not been our best half.

Shocking discipline and Leeds looking much more energetic, reckon the hoodoo will continue.

Disgusting commentary from Radio Rovers.
