If that is the case then expect a score of Leeds 12-44 Bradford.
If Burgess and cross have gone for good I hold no hope for Leeds this season. Bradford played well against Saints but conditions helped them. Pack played well but offensively there are crap. 80% of their tries come from kicks. The pay the Leeds pack have played this year I think the Bulld could come out on top in the forwards, it just depends on which Leeds team turn up. Potential Bannana skin this one if Leeds are not careful.
Without Burgess and Cross Injuries to props will mean second rowers taking there place. With no rotation some of our pack will simply burn out come end of the season. To think we are in the same position as last year at this point of the season is fair comment regarding points on the league table but the truth is we have no structure and no game plan and two clowns coaching the team. We need to forget this season, get rid of the dead wood, look for two new coaches and simply start again. A top quality half back is badly needed to lead the team around the field in the mould of Chase or Durreau for example. We also should be looking at two players at Huddersfield who I believe are out of contract, Larn Patrick and Darrell Griffin Huddersfield will be struggling to get all there young players under the cap so we should have a great chance of getting at least one of these. Top 'marque' right centre required and Delaney into the pack and Watkins left centre.
I would offer Peacock 1 year with 1 year option and Kylie another year along with Kirke and Bailey. Senoir should have gone last year and to be honest I am not sure about Ambler at this time, I had a strong opinion of Amor but what I have seen I am not sure hes made the progress expected form his championship form.
There are major problems at the club at the moment and GH needs to tell all the fans what going on and lets blow off the dust and move on. There appears to be some issues with spending money over the last couple of years we dont seem to sign the quality of players we once did. Is it the southstand that eating into our expenditure ? I dont know. Funny how teams like Warrington simply sign who they want while we have average crowds that are 40% higher and a far better commercial set up.
Tell me if I am wrong but if anyone thinks we are going to win anything this season they are deluded. Tactically we are light years behind teams like Wiggan and Huddesfield in the ruck area and control of games and that is simply down to Coaching ability. The lack of rotation of squad players and team selection this year suggests to me we are drawing names out of a hat or there is some friction between our coaching staff and the players ?
