But much more barren than the last decade has been for Leeds.

Leeds have always splurged in the transfer market, event when there was a team well filled with academy players performing well. Doing it when those players are just coming through also makes sense.

Is there anyone who doesn't absolutely hate this pathetic video referee system?

Halifax Town hardly have a virtuous financial record.

Seemed harsh at first glance. But I can see why it's been given. Talking about "corruption" is just more of the entitled, arrogant, unpleasant rubbish the St Helens club and their fans have been coming out with for too long. For that they deserve every on-field ill fortune that is coming their way.

According to Callum Walker, "the St Helens club has released a statement reaffirming its commitment to anti-social behaviour"! https://www.totalrl.com/st-helens-release-statement-on-anti-social-behaviour-following-crowd-issues/

Lots of people underestimating this Leeds team. I like it. It's only a couple of months since Leeds saw off Catalans at home and Smith has already coached the team to two wins at Gilbert Brutus in his two years in charge.

They do suggest this is only a short term thing until they can find a commercial sponsor to pay them money. I wonder how much the DW deal was worth.

Leeds by 7.

Does that just leave Brian McDermott from their short list?

Hull FC agreed a sponsorship deal when P&O Ferries were a large local employer of good standing. Hull KR agreed a sponsorship deal after P&O had sacked all the local workforce in scandalous circumstances. Trying to equate the two is amazing.

A reminder of this advert P&O's security company placed just before the sackings indicating how they planned to approach the job.

It's tricky, there are no direct alternatives so what do you do? I'm sure there are people in Hull who refuse to use them and others who have no choice. Hull KR on the other hand had the option to say no.

What on earth are you talking about?

Oh yeah, making the owner understand that they need to behave differently is crucial. However he's probably still reeling from the Gus whatshisname era when he let him run things.
