What you need to do is recruit a ball playing loose forward who can slot in at halfback when you suffer injuries.
Leeds have always been able to manage without either burrow or mcguire because sinfield can slot in at halfback.

That's supposed to be Washbrook's job!

| Quote ="Roverswall"Ok ill rephrase it not knackered but 'busted' as the aussies put it, e.g stiil got it in him but I imagine everyone expected he would miss parts of the season and although yes they are new injuries can anyone tell me they thought he would go the full season without missing at least half a dozen league games?
My point is that yes getting Long was a good idea but giving him 2 years was a mistake.
1 year and a contracted coaching job afterwards may have been the way to go with him.
I can see him playing even less next year can't you (well I can't see in the future but you know what I mean).
Its a shame that Horne seems to have 'gone' I wonder if it is his diabetes or the amount of rugby he played when he was younger that is doing for him now?'"
Probably a bit of both.
Players like senior are freaks. Very few can play the top level for that long before they break down with injuries and their form goes down.
wasn't horne playing top level when he was 16/17? His best days are probably gone, sadly.

| Agar said we're bringing in a half back in the post match interview. Sounds like cover only so guessing maybe Briggs.

washbrook strikes me as more of a dynamic running forward, certainly wouldn't strike me as the 'halfback loose forward' type of player.
If he is, then he isn't good neough to do it when you have injuries.

If we hadn't given Long 2 years, who would we have at 7 for next season? Bear in mind we have no overseas places available.'" How about Stefan Ratchford?
Also did you sigh Long after Fitzgibbon and Orge or before?

| This is a thread that was predictable on the back of a defeat, had we had won it would have been a thread on how Agar tactically out classed Morgan.
We have slightly improved on previous years so its hard to really critisize when Agar has delivered in that aspect. Playing wise in terms of entertainment they is alot of improving to do, how many inside balls do we want to do before we realise its not going to work ?
The players didn't get up for tonight and Rovers players came out like a team possesed, in a derby they is only one type of attitude which will win.

As I said Today we have seen it before, It was no different than the games against
Wigan (Home)
Leeds (Away & Cup)
Salford (away)
Crusaders (Home & Away) Yes I know we won at home
And countless other games from 2008 & 2009
We went out of the CC in the first round at home and have now gone out of the play off's at the first time of asking at home.
Our attcking is shocking and our play continually sleep inducing.
For those reasons I have formulated my point of view

Not good enough for the job, exactly, but still that's his seen role. I'm a fan of him, but still not the role for him.

It's my new technique for dealing with your attempts to start an argument with me. It's in the testing phase right now though and may not last.

Wrong. Unless you offer absolutely stupid money at any rate. And we had loads of other things to spend cash on.

I think they make a fair point, we boast about being the only SL club to make a profit yet we don't spend the cash.
Saying that any spare cash will be going on fines instead of next season, thanks to a few idiots.
