  1. well 10 of them would do better to think why were they not good enough to get there
  2. Hetherington was the only one to vote against the farce that Lenigan brought about
  3. criteria does not come in until the end of next season its just plain old promotion this time
  4. i always shudder when i hear talk of the council should step in . as a business the clubs should sort themselves out for a long-term future not for the next season only. the councils have enough on having enough money to fund care homes let alone sorts clubs.
  5. last time they were in the mire they merged with another club (Gateshead) perhaps it's time for another merger but with a club nearer this time. maybe it could be called hull Kingston rovers f.c.
  6. given the crowds both hunslet and Bramley were drawing when they closed down not really much of a benefit to Leeds. that and the fact no hunslet fan would have dreamed of going to headingley and the same for many Bramley fans. at one time way back in the mists of time Leeds had 5 professional rugby teams .
  7. there was one wooden stand at Kirkstall held a few hundred. let's face it the moment they moved over the river they were doomed. they would have been better off going to the Bramley rugby union ground and getting that improved thus staying in bramley. think the rot set in when they had to sell the social club to finance debts .it was one of the few things that made a profit well it did out of me 3 nights a week
  8. he has a new agent rumour is a place in the NRL although i have my doubts on that . more likely either hudderfield or salford i would think
  9. originally sinfield studied for a sports management degree and said he did not want to go into coaching. that's why he ended up as head of rugby a job that did not involve coaching
  10. the thing is fran is not a natural fullback. she started at leeds as a winger and in union played either centre or wing. put her at right centre and she would thrive
  11. your right after all saints lost 5 grand finals in a row didn't they
  12. and yet won nothing of note. that seems to be an ongoing thing with Powell's teams . when it comes to the crunch they fail . it happend at at fev and cas and you can see it happening again.. perhaps he will have more luck at Bradford were the expectation will be lower.
  13. ITS STANDARD but if both sides agree they can insert a clause to override it from what i have heard from a player
  14. will check what i have got . get back to you later in the week
  15. what are you offering to pay for them plus of course postage
  16. i feel the question is wrong. it should be which owner puts most money into his club each year. its not that the richest owner has to be the one who puts the most in . indeed i would suggest that perhaps the richest owner put less of his money into his club than any of the other super league owners. the trick is not to put your money in but to guarantee the clubs overdraft ect thus you don't need to put actual money in . question how much has Caddick actually put into the rhinos that he has not got back since ?
  17. yes, but the lease is worth a couple of million i would guess. as long as its a long lease.
  18. i guess the RFL could sell odsal to a developer. that could bring in a few quid
  19. indeed, way i heard it was he wanted regular game time and leeds reconned they were well off in the backs and back row and wanted to get some cap space for a prop . this at a time when they were signing more players from other clubs/countries and thus had less space due to lack of cap exemptions for home grown players as in previous years
  20. good name for him. in the south stand he was known as jimmy the German by many. great player to have around in the backs or the forwards. shame leeds did not keep him a couple more seasons. he would certainly have helped them through the mess they got into.
